Your exhaust fan seems tiny for your grow. I used a 6" inline for my 2x2 and 3x3.
For controls, my inkbird exhausts at 79ish degrees just to keep humidity close to the right range. At lights off i switch my sensor to humidity at 50% to prevent rain in the tent.

I cannot get my humidity above 30 RH. I have an evaporative warm mist humidifier in my room (12×5×7H) approximately. I have a high output 4 inch exhaust fan that I would rather not turn off. Heat is forced hot air as well as a small 250 watt portable heater temp maintains around 77F. I'm guessing the fans are sucking out all the humid air. So I imaging managing the exhaust fans is the key. Thanks

Its that little electric heater drying the air. Get a bigger humidifier. The evaporative pad ones will remove white powder, ultrasonic models need distilled water. Need at least 3 gallons/day.

That seems like a very low amount of light for a 12 by 5.
I have 320w in 9 sq/ft, 3'x3'.
Not that it really matters, but hlg as well

It is not full of plants just the appropriate area is plants. Around 3x5 approximately. Plenty of light for 6 medium plants

Had a shocking 20% RH today when I came to the crime scene.
Nobody was hurt at this point, so I went on with my duties...

Cooked myself a pot of spaghetti, that got the room back up to 35% RH, but it would go back down very quickly.
I tested my own idea and set up a drying rack for clothes with a huge towel that I had thoroughly saturated with water near the heater/window.
Also put a tiny bit of water in 2/3 of the coasters and voila: 50% RH close to the pots 41% RH above my canopy and at the intake of the tent 36%.

Gotta give a shoutout to my dad, he actually came up with the idea of the towels on a drying rack with their tips in a waterbucket in front of a fan.
