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 .

Temp fluctuatesWith the Heater I have(analog setting) fluctuates (needs to drop 6 degrees) before kicking on. So my Lights off temp fluctuates from 67F lowest(about 5min) to peak 74F(<5min) maintaining an average of 70F lights off. Is this too much of a swing?

High humidity during floweringI don't have an exhaust fan since this is my first growth and I'm quite on a budget
my humidity averages around 65-75%
I know high humidity increases risk of mould and bud rot
is it necessary to get an exhaust fan and aiming for 40-50% or just risking the consequences?Week 9

Cord for Vivosun Controller to automate an electric heaterI have a Vivosun CFM In-line duct with the Temp/Humidity controller. We’d like to connect an electric heater so that it can automatically come on when the temp is low inside the Tent. Any suggestions to what would be compatible to my Vivosun temp/Hum Controller?

Humidity problemsCan I have some advices on how to lower my humidity? I’m having some troubles lowering it since my plant is now flowering. Usually I can’t lower it from 60% while my temps are always on 27/28 C during lights on.
I will leave a pic of my setup here. Should I change something?
