So if it's 1. LIGHT 2. WATER 3. ENVIRONMENT...what are you doing indoors to maintain ur environment. I'm in week 2 of Flower n since I cranked my lights up to around 75% (850 PPFD) temp is ok (72*-85*) but I can't get down to 50%. I can keep it around 57%, but nites it goes up

I live in SoCal. I run my AC with 2 windows cracked slightly on both sides of the room. 1 T6 intake on low on the floor of my tent, 1 small fan moving the light heat away from the canopy. 1 T4 exhaust on high directly next to my lights to pull heat. Ac is outside the tent. Seems the air flow goes into the tent, exhausts up to the ceiling and runs out the windows. My temp stay from 74-85F (85 during a heat wave of 100+) my RH stay between 45 and 55. Day to night. If my windows are not cracked my RH goes to 65 and stays there. I do not use a dehumidifier at all. Probably not helping you out but it's what I do. Smell isn't a problem for me either.

I run a dehumidifier and oscillating fans in a 10x10. It’s a battle cuz if you bring in a dehumidifier- your temp is gonna go up sharply too to drop that RH. As long as it’s not above 65% at night I wouldn’t worry too much

Umm check out VPD charts on google for flowering.. shows you the best range for temp and humidity for plants. I’ve realized you don’t need to be down super low RH in flower. I’ve had great success around 50-60 RH and upper 70s F As long as you’ve got plenty of air movement and fans moving the plants you’ll be good..

Even with a AC Infinity T6 inline fan w/digital temp/humid. control I found that at lights out my RH rise was substantial (not a surprise since RH is humidity in relation to temperature)...the easiest thing for me was to add an extra large fan (box fan) in my grow tent that angles upwards that's on a timer to coincide with lights out. The RH still goes up but now only to 60% instead of 70-75%.
