hello
For early flowering id say 55 isnt bad since its couple with warm temperatures. You can usually run a higher humidity as long as the temp doesn't drop drastically at lights out....that's when pm wants to start growing, is with temperature Or humidity fluctuations.
If you have an outlet to bring in fresh air through a window or something using the intake fan that'd be best. Otherwise just keep running the dehumidifier, and keep the airfow up and water in the mornings, no late night waterings.

Ventilation/wind in every square inch of your tent poonting slightly upwards, I have 6 fans in my tent. Raise pots on a stand or rack a few inches up the floor and have your runoff catcher underneath lets air circulate the lower area. Defoliate the lower 30% or more of the plant before stretch and maintain the clean bottom.

55 is fine for the start of flower. I have the same problem. I'm currently at 60% RH on week 9 of flower lol but no mold yet . As I have fans circulating fresh air and a 6inch AC infinity extractor at full power 24hrs a day. If you have high humidy you don't want stagnant air so I create an air vortex in there lol
Also defoliating can help reduce humidty . As the leaves to sweat a lot .

serious question about VPD value in the tentI'm not sure which values I should consider more important, or both.
I have one sensor about 10cm above the Canopy and one sensor directly below it.
I am trying to keep the VPD optimal in this grow, but which one is the "right" one?

How crucial is an exhaust fan and a carbon filter?I cant find anything in my country as a kit, but would buying them piece by piece work?
Example something like in the photo connected to an air duct and then to a carbon filter?
Or if the exhaust fan is not crucial? how can i get rid of the smell in a cheaper way?

Ventilation setupDo I need more than just carbon filters and 2 fans in my 18"×18"×48" grow tent?
I bought 6 inch round carbon filters that are about 1/2" thick. And put them in the vent holes for odor control and I have a hanging fan at the top of tent and a small fan for exhaust. Is it enough?

Humidity won't go down because of clay pebbles ?Though my extractor is at high speed, I have a hard time with controlling humidity, I hardly go under 68%, specially during the night. Probably it's the clay pebbles since the pots don't have a lid. I placed the temp/humidity probe near the tallest leaves. what do you think ?

Do I really need a exhaust fan ?If my 2x2 grow tent sits at 26c and 68% humidity without an exhaust fan do I actually need one ? The top of my tent, the vent is open and I’ve opened the observation window at bottom to allow air in. I’ve two fans, one at canopy level and one in top corner opposite the top vent ?

Humidity issues near floweringSo I installed an intraction (145 m3/h speed1) and aluminium foil on the pots but humidity is still hight like 75% when nightime and the lowest is 65%. Probably the water evaporates by the pots (drip, clay pebbles). I have no more ideas. Do I have to buy a deshumidifier? Thx !

Can I exhaust my grow tent into the closet it's in?I'm putting a 3x3 grow tent into a larger closet I have (maybe 8' x 4')? So I guess the closet is called the lung room? I will have a carbon filter and inline fan in the grow tent exhausting out. Can I exhaust out into the closet it's in? Or is that a no-no? Pros and Cons?Setup. Ventilation

Anyone tried a plasma filter instead of a carbon filter?Supposedly superior odor elimination over carbon filters
Look here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwiNUkjL1Dk
As you can see they resemble carbon filters (they're part carbon filter actually). The only question is...can they run 24 hours a day for 3 weeks?
