You are just more likely to get mold.
There are a few things you can do. You can buy expensive dehumidifiers that work very well or other cheap but decent alternatives that draw in the moisture into a pot which you can drain out or just empty now and then.

Add a few charcoal briquettes i mean a few too. This will dry out the air in that area pretty good, I have used it many times but if you put too many it will drop your humidity to around 30%. So my area is 2'x3'x4' and I usually have around 5-6 in a plastic jar with holes cut into it and it will bring the moisture level down within 24-48 hours.

Very possible because high humidity without proper airflow will suffocate the leaf and stops the flow of waste excreted and like a domino affect will result in nute lock and pretty much poison the plant, but most likely mold will kill it first if left untreated

My area is 6 1/2ft X 6 1/2ft X 9ft, how many coals do you think i should add?

I would start with 8-10 and see how fast it drops and is your area enclosed completely during operation.

Awesome well in that size area I would like I said put about 10 in a plastic container with many holes and place this on the back side of your fan. then the air being pulled in from the back has to go through your charcoal filter first and the air coming out is drier. BAMMM! ALL UNDER LIKE $5 LOL

Just lower your room temperature by about 5 degrees. That'll reduce the humidity and give you the temp and humidity you need. Something as simple as a bigger fan can do that for you pretty easily.

That doesn't work when I lower the temperature, the humidity of the room goes up.
