New grower with a humidity problem

I'm on my first grow. Doing auto flowers and I'm on my 4th week from seed. I am growing in a 4x4x60 tent with 1800 watt LEDs... (3 -600 watt each). I have a humidity problem when lights are on 24/0, humidity is 90%. Temperature is 75f. I have a 6" carbon filter fan combo on 24/0 with lights. I run a grow bro co2 generator also. Any ideas on how I can get my humidity down, I ordered a dehumidifier, but it takes a week to get it, does anyone think that will work?

Found this info may help
Decreasing humidity Decreasing humidity is very simple with a dehumidifier, but you can also use some other methods that can quickly lower the humidity level if it gets too high.  Increasing exhaust – The easiest way to lower your relative humidity is to increase the exhaust fan speed or get a more powerful fan, which can get rid of all that humid air that your plants produce. But this will not work when the outside humidity levels are also high, as then a humid air will be replaced by the same humid air.  Increase temperature – A great way to lower the humidity level is to increase the temperature in the grow room, just be sure not to exceed the 90F (32C) mark, as that can, again, badly affect your plants. You can do this by changing your lights to the ones that produce more heat or by simply increasing the bulb count.  Dehumidifier – But the best option is to get a proper dehumidifier for your grow area that will allow you to control your humidity levels exactly how you want them.  Rock Salt – A great DIY idea is to get rock salt and put it in some kind of a bag over a bowl. This salt contraption will suck the moisture out from the air, and that moisture will slowly fill the bowl.  Rice / Cat litter - And some other DIY ideas are to get cat litter or a bowl of rice, which will also help lowering the humidity level by soaking up that excess moisture. But these option often fail to lower humidity by more than a few percent.

Thanks for the information. I tried those damp rid packages also, they don't work at all. I'm just gonna wait for my dehumidifier, it's a 70 pint with humidity settings, I can set myself. Just taking extra advice in consideration also since this is my first grow.
