Dehumidifiers and humidifiers hooked up to a controller that has a meter that reads the humidity of the room. Quest is a really good company but kind of expensive.

Otherwise a ac inside the flower room can act like a dehumidifier then you just use a humidifier to get to your desired humidity

Increase extraction and dehumidifier
AC is usually my favorite way to handle it because in small grows it deals with heat and humidity at the same time. If the AC can't handle the humidity, a quality dehumidifier will. If those options are too expensive, getting more powerful fans to increase the rate of air exchange is probably the best alternative.
If in a micro grow, you’ll probably have the best luck controlling the room that the grow is in rather than the grow itself.
I did it helped a lot. But I would like a better way, I've been reding on DIY dehumidifiers with dissecants.
Ya well, I have a couple of reasons for not going that way.
First and foremost, more air movement means a bigger fan and that will be noisier, mine is a stealth grow and no noise is a must.
Second, the air here is pretty humid, so I would rather have a solution that ensures the air is dry inside the box, giving me the tranquility that I won't have bud rot.
Last, but not least, I'm kind of a perfectionist regarding the ambient inside the grow box (humidity, temperature, night temperature drop and air exchange) all this has allowed me to have fast developing plants with very tight node spacing. So I would rather keep the air exchange in it's current rate.
