So my humidity got to like 75% yesterday and i had some sweat on some leaves that were touching. This worries me I'm about to be in full flowering and mold scares me. I'm guessing the best way to combat this is to vent the room correct? I Have a dehumidifier but it is huge in my in my cab, I don't want to suck out too much cold air and make my a/c work twice as hard or comprimse temps correct? Would this fan surfice HTG FAN for venting out the moist air? I'm going to be getting an inline fan for my carbon filter would it be better just to vent the inline fan this is the one i'm going to get Inline Fan. I'm thinking about just recirculating the inline fan and carbon filter in the room and vent with the booster fan, reason being I don't want to run the vent fan all the time like my carbon scrubber (I think), So shoould i get a humidity controller and run my vent fan off it too keep R/H where i want it, I'm a little stoned and lost at the moment, but staying calm. I'm new to indoor growing and unsure of myself and trying to get this cab dialed in without buying things i don't need. so any help would be much appreciated.
Thanx

Just caught up. I love those 2 bush monsters! they look great man
I can't remember exactly how your box is setup, but yeah you do need to vent it. Do you have a intake at the bottom? You need fresh air constantly flowing thru the box. The intake can be passive with a inline exhaust fan. What's the hummidty in the room? You can use the dehumidfier outside the box near the intake.

Like Jackal said, venting is a must. My humidity will sometimes spike up into the 70s when the lights are off, but I think you're fine as long as it doesn't stay that high all the time.

The only intake i have is on the a/c itself my cab is in my shed and outside temps Low of 81f and high 90f, humidity 79% really high so i'm at a loss i think if i intake from outside it would make things worse but i will try it if you think i should as of right now i'm going to exaust vent it today with a 4" booster fan because it's whats available I'm getting a inline fan soon
@Andy my humidity stays @ 50-55 until i open the door then it jumps up to 60-63 but when the lights go out it hits 75 that was my high yesterday

That's pretty much the same exact conditions I have and I don't have any mold issues. Outdoors the humidity gets that high at night and the plants do fine, so I never worried much about it. I keep the air constantly moving around the plants and the lights are on 18 hours a day, so that's enough to keep mold from growing. Also I never mist my plants once they're past seedling stage, as I don't want to do anything that would force the humidity higher. I'm really looking forward to the lower humidity and temps of autumn!

tsYeah if the outside RH is that high it would make things worse. You could pick up a speed controller when you get your inline, so you can turn it up high when the humidity is high. 50-55 RH is ok, but I'm like you mold worries me so when my plants are in late flowering I like my RH lower in the 40's

I'm on my way out to pick up a booster fan to hold me over till i get my inline. My oscillating fan won't be here till the 15th That should help drastically. thanks for all the help guys i'll keep you updated through out the day. see if we can get this thing sorted.
