Help! It's raining for another week, and our humidity is around 65% to 75%. Should we use more fans, or what would you recommend? Thank you in advance.

I had the same issue and tried various solutions: - passive dehumidifiers (cat litter and rock salt) - no noticeable difference - additional fan - minimal impact - increased power for the exhaust fan - slight to no effect - exhausted air out of a window - minimal effect. - changed room ventilation habits - temporary change In the end, I decided to invest in an active dehumidifier that blows dry air through the fresh air hole in my tent. This has allowed me to maintain a relative humidity (RH) of around 40%. However, be cautious as blowing air directly into the tent can raise temperatures by 4-5°C, so it's important not to stress your plants. Also you might notice the change with your next electricity bill. Lower humidity has proven beneficial for my plants though, as they subjectively showed accelerated vegetative and bud growth. Hope this helps! If anybody got a better solution, please share it with the community! 🙏

Buy a dehumidifier. Pretty easy solution. Depending on if you're dehumidifying the tent, or the room the tent is in...the price will vary. I'm lucky and grow in small 2x2 tents, so I can get away with cheap amazon dehumidifiers. The most cost effective way to do it, if you have the capital, is to buy a whole room humidifier from your hardware store. They run around 0 around where I am, and they can keep a whole room dry and drain into a bucket.
