Hi.
To answer your question so you understand it..I suggest you look up how stomata vents work.
Been at 70% RH in the dark is a norm for me. I've the exact same thing that happens to me.
I'll explain why In a way you can get it. But look it up.
As plants sleep. Stomata vents close leading to a build up of RH in your tent from evaporation from the soils. A build up in your room will be normal from the exhaust expelling that water vapour.
Ideally yes, a lower RH helps a plant in late flowering. As the plant itself slows down a lower RH will stop the leafs vents from having what they need, leading to lager intake of nutrients from the substrate
But, is it essential, absolutely NOT.
I harvest autos that are held in 65-70% RH. VENTILATION IS KEY to stop from getting rot. I use to run my dehumidifier like mad getting the RH down. I crop I think I spent like 150e on jst keeping the RH low and tbh there was no difference in my bud when I jst increase my ventilation with (fresh air exchange will be vital) so not just expelling the RH from the tent. You'll need to change out the air in the room the tent is in.
Oscillating fans will be keep. And a good negative seal.
If you've any more questions just shoot me a mes about growing successfully with high RH environments. States in the US and around the EU has RH in excess of 70 and this is were the best seeds in the world would some say come from and are bread.
In my own country our RH is at its lowest at 60% and highest at 85 and I've done many grows. 1 I got caught out with a small bit of rot as my osc fan failed. Other than that. Don't waste your money trying to control it. Yes, there is an hr or 3 a wk i have to use my dehumidifier to dry out my grow room. But, trying to keep it at a steady level below 45 when you've 55 there's no point. And as for lights out. Good ventilation and exchange of air in your grow room.
Good luck
