Sort of
Airflow is more important than the humidity levels you are dealing with imo.

I grew all winter. Little humidifier running nonstop. I was in th 30s and 40s RH. Everything was fine in every stage. Cannabis is a weed man. Don't over think it.
but you might want to follow VPD

For anyone reading and in the market for a dehuey, Costco has Whirlpool 70 pint EnegyStar w/ Pump and auto-restart mentioned on box (env controller friendly/inkbird/etc) for $179. Later at the big box hardware store I saw a HiSense 70 with pump was like $299 so I thought to mention if that's a great deal. I had been thinking of getting one and knowing it was probably a decent seasonal deal for Costco I grabbed one. Was happy when I saw the price on the Hisense.

Yes.
It would be better if you could control the fan speed, or use something like this inkbird to turn the fan on/off automatically.

Thanks for the tip!
Bought the IHC 200; seriously considering getting a dehumidifier, do u know by any chance if I can use the same gadget for both dehumidifying and humidifying from the same controller?

Most DE-humidifiers do not like having the source power turned on and off repeatedly. (Much like AC units.)

Set the dehumidifier to the percentage you want and let it run on its own. Plan for a drain....emptying bucket is a PIA. I have a 50pint gravity drain for 4x4x8.

Sorry if I missed it
...how big is your space and watts of lighting?
