They are flowering.
My tent is in my garage. The air temp in the garage gets in the low 60F's at night.
I need the air moved since it gets 70%+ rH in the tent and they are flowering.

I have the exhaust fan on a thermostat I mess with to keep it in the mid 70F range but to do this my tent climbs in humidity. To bring the rH down my tent temps drop into the mid to high 60F's.

This happens for a few hours at night (lights are on) only.

Which do I choose...higher temps and higher humidity or lower humidity and lower temps?

I would worry about the humidity bc of mold in colas. But temp is just as important. So try to compromise both, lower your humidity and lower your temp, you can add co2 if your temps are very high

It's tough to get both lower humidity and higher temps for a few hours during the light cycle. During lights off it's usually warm in the garage because my light goes off at noon for 4 hours.
 
interesting problem to solve.., but when you have high temps/humidity i cant see having a dehumidifier on a timer in your room being a bad thing if you have room in there.

one way i get to lower both Temps and RH (for some reason) is by speeding up my exhaust fan a couple a times a day. i know its a pain, but it works for me.
and i slow it down (my exhaust fan) to raise both.
 
I also run my lights at night so i can use the lower temperature to my advantage plus electric bills get lowered bc of night time costs less.

I have no room.
I think choosing low humidity is preferable since they are in bloom.
We're talking mid to high 60's for just a few hours otherwise it's mid to high 70's.
I've read that autos can take cooler especially in bloom.
Humidity is more a threat I think.
If I had the room I'd out a dehumidifier in there.

Get a lux pro or Titan controls thermometer/temp gauge or inkbird. and a heater. When your temps drop it will click on, and should help drop RH.
 
You don't want your temperatures to have over a 10 degrees Fahrenheit between night and day, that invites fungus and bud rot and stuff. Girls don't like it, shocks them. As long as the difference in your highest high and lowest low I'd within 10 degrees your fine.

I have only a day/night Titan thermostat switch box. Next grow I'll modify plus leave more room. Thanks.
