Sucking out moisture and humidity will not be a problem at all, in fact it will help prevent moulds or fungus from developing in your flowers. Cannabis is not a rain forest plant and does not really need artificially boosted levels of relative humidity, apart from cuttings/clones. A dry atmosphere will even enhance trichome production to guard against the over heating of the ovule located at the base of the pistils. If all your pistils have already browned off, peak THC production has already passed and you should be harvesting soon, so even if you are worried about RH, your plant will hardly be in a dry atmosphere for very long anyhow. Remember to dry your flowers in darkness, drying them with direct light on them will cause any remaining THC to degrade even further. Hope this helps,.... Organoman.

Uv lighting will not work for a night time light if that's what your asking. There are no UVB bulbs that produce only uv. They always have other light coming off them.. Also UV lights are not UVB. The Purplish UV lights you see are diodes in the 390nm spectrum so they put light in a spectrum that will not work for night time. Heaters are almost always a better choice when it comes to "heating" because they are heaters so will put their energy to making heat in a much more efficient way.
