Tips to keep low humidity during flowering phase?

I need tips on keeping the humidity low inside the tent. We’ve got an air conditioning unit (placed outside of the tent) and a dehumidifier in the tent. The size of our tent is 5x5x6. Days where it’s raining with high humidity it’s harder to control humidity levels. Please help!

Yikes... you really DO need to lower that humidity, don't you! Ok, so you're doing everything you possibly could - it's good to have an air conditioner outside the tent (I assume you have ventilation/fans going) and it's good to have a dehumidifier inside.... but obviously that's not doing all you need. There's a simple, cheap way to reduce the humidity - I just don't know if it will do as much as you need it to do.... Anyway, you take 2 5-gallon buckets... in one bucket, drill a bunch of holes in the lower 1/3 and the bottom (1/4"??) and the put that bucket inside the other one. Now get yourself some rock salt and dump it into the bucket with the holes... the salt will take the moisture out of the air and convert it to water which drips, then, into the lower bucket and you can take out and pitch... You'll probably have to monitor the water level in that lower bucket frequently as you don't want it to rise and start getting the rock salt submerged! Good luck.... in six months, we'll be trying desperately to keep our tents warm and humid!

Hello my fellow Grower. I place the ducting into my central heating and cooling vent so the cool air run into the tent. The cool air will eat up the humidity. We have house set at 70, it evens out in tent at about 75-82 F humidity around 27-30 humidity. In flower that should work out for you. I hope. Blessings on all you grow!

You need a dehumidifier like a good one large capacity like 50 litre and above if you have a big tent
