How to regulate RH on In/Outdoor grow?

Any ideas for dealing with humidity with a semi-outdoor grow in a high humidity climate? 4x2 tent in an outside shed. Air intake brings in outside air, and exhaust is blown into the shed. Outside Avg Temp 68 Avg Hum 80% <--Typical Environment data for last week attached

Hey did you ever solve this issue. Having a similar problem. Plenty of ventilations and fans but if the oustide RH is high then undoubtedly going to struggle to keep it down. The only solution I am finding is adding a dehumidifier into the tent. A temp solution some people are suggesting is to add rock salt in a container.

RH 90% during Flowering!I have a problem with RH. I am at the 3rd week of Flowering and I'm struggling to keep my RH down. Today it was 90% when I opened the grow box. I have access only to a window. Is it better to suck air inside or blow the exhausted air out? I can't do both

New Light? Find a way to raise light? More Fans? Combination? (Light: 44" above ground level | Tent Height: 63" Day avg: 78.6f) Should i worry?What do you guys recommend as far as lighting for this tent? I have a 300w led light but at the height it's currently at it is producing a large amount of heat with my exhaust and two oscillating fans? I also have other plants in with my seedling so could the humidity cause it?

Carbon Filter Hello growers! I'm thinking of removing carbon filter's outter fabric. It affects my exhaust dramatically. Does anyone knows if this is going to make it insufficient or ruin it? (i think that this layer prevents humidity entering carbon particles)

couple quick questions Do I need to close the flap to the vent during dark cycles? (Lights off during the day) and should I block lights coming from fan power, humidifier, dehumidifier, or indicator lights? Also do I need to use the carbon filter the whole time? should I ever have the exaust fan off?
