Anyone using an S & P TD-200? Humidity issues

Has anyone wired their td-200 or similar onto the lower output? I'm wondering if I do that will it be enough to cool my 600? I'm running a solid 78-80 in my tent and the plants are loving it, but I'm also getting a ridiculous amount of negative pressure and the suction is pulling all the humidity out of my room. I live in a really dry climate so I bought a humidifier, but it only helps a little because the vapor is being sucked right the fuck out. Also, if I rewire the fan to the lower setting will my place be more likely to stink up from Sour D?

thats a lot of fan for a single 600w, I think those are for 8" ducts and 480cfm on low and 580cfm on high.

Are you pulling through a C filter and cooltube?

Its connected directly to a can 50 then it pushes air through 6 inch ducting to a SS2 then out, it is an 8 inch fan but i accidentally bought the 6 inch hood, booooo on my part

dude i feel like the tenting is going to get sucked right up into the fan in an instant implosion

not loud at all, i sleep comfortably right next to my tent, i'd bet i could wrap the fan in insulation to cut out any motor noise, besides the rushing air noise that would make it super quiet

i bought the larger one because one day it will be responsible for more lights

i just thought of that scene in Tommy Boy when Rob Lowe gets his shirt sucked off by the mail shoot, classic
 
I'm using an S&P 150 6" through a cooled hood. I too have negative pressure and it stays dry as a bone. Quiet as hell though. I'm seeing what seems to be wind burn on my leaves. The temps stay between 78 and 81 degrees and I too am afraid to turn it down. Hope someone can suggest something. It's a great fan and my fish tank is louder. It's cooling 1 600 watt light.

yeah no go on the rewire, im having to open the all the passive intakes despite the light leaks and im just gonna seal off my window, oh well im having trouble sleeping past the crack of dawn anyways

still the humidity issue though, my humidifier is actually dropping the temps down to about 75-76 which is really nice but its just not doing the job putting out the moisture, i guess i'll just wait for a few days and see what if anything builds up in the bedroom

despite all this ive managed to get my clones out of a humidity dome and they're still pretty perked up, maybe my humidity gauge is off...
