How do you guys control your humidity levels during flowering stage?

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.

A really cheap and easy way to lower humidity for microgrows is just throwing some small food desiccant sachets in the container, or just anywhere near the soil. It has worked really well for me. The humidity rarely stays above 60 for more than 24 hours after watering.

Ventilation if in a dry area.
OR
Dehuey if in a high RH area.
OR
A mix of both.

The problem with dehumidifiers is space. This are kind of big for microgrows. The dissecant sachets is an idea that seems plausible.

Defolate. The leaves are made to retain moisture from traveling up

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.
