I personally dont run anything other than lights and ventilation. My room stays 76-82 depending on temp outside. I do flood tables and do find my air a little moist however it's not an issue in my space. My area is a high humidity area so I just try to run more fans than I need for my space.

I have roughly 8'x5' with 600w worth of cob led not producing much heat. With a 12" circulation stand fan and a small 4" fan for an led board I built. 2 4" online fans with filters venting into the attic through a 4 to 8" vent.

With all that said if your environment is good without adding a dehumidifier/humidifier then spend that money on something else. 1000w of hps is a lot of light, that much power is capable of producing a lot of bud on some pretty big plants. Invest in your grow area first to optimize that and then genetics. That's my advice. If those 2 are covered then sure splurge on some cmh bulbs, I'm not familiar with them but many on the site are.

Let us know what you decide to buy, good luck grow bro. Sorry for the book.

Yeah I run fans and lights and a dehumidifier in the summer and humidifier in the winter but I live in Oklahoma and it's gets super humid here in the summer and super dry in the winter, I say just save your monies and start your grow and when you run into problems spend that money on what ever issue you are having!

depending on your heat with your hps when I grew with hps my best item I bought was a cool tube and it meant in the summer the months sometimes id skip because of temps i could grow all year long
