Humidity Issue(flowering)

Hey everyone I am experiencing high humidity during the night cycle. When the light is on my humidity ranges from 50-60% but when it's lights out the humidity goes up to 70-80%.

The tent is in a room that is 10 x 12 x 8 so that's 120sqft or 960 cubic ft. The room at this time of year has a relative humidity of 60%

My grow tent is rather small(4 x 4 x 7). It is about 112 cubic ft, or 16 sqft.

Should I buy a small dehumidifier? I have found a few small ones under $100
Eva Dry 2200
Sunpentown SD 350
Or should I just spend an extra few bucks and get
Frigidaire 25 pint

Sounds to me like a convenience thing.

How often do you want to have to empty the reservoir?
If you are in there every day and can dump it, save the cash.

Thanks for the reply cruzer. I would like to empty the reservoir no more then once a day. I am in fact in the room every day. I definitely want to save the cash and get one of the smaller units. I just question whether they are effective or not. I have heard a few bad things about the cheapy's.

Basically I would disappointed If I bought one of the $50 dollar models found out it didn't work very well, and then had to go buy a $150 model anyway. Then again who knows? Those small models may very well be just as effective as the bigger ones with the only downfall being a smaller reservoir. Their are definitely some things to consider.

My humidity is lower than yours. I was also considering a de-humidifier. I've been eyeballing a midsize, and a fullsize

With high RH like you have, I severely doubt the "cheapos" would do too much.

Your probably right. Better safe then sorry right.
