I did it helped a lot. But I would like a better way, I've been reding on DIY dehumidifiers with dissecants.

A stronger outgoing fan seems easier than messy dessicant and dehumidifier.

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.

Oh wow you have RH thats very high. I live in the desert climate so i never worry a minute about high RH.

Maybe thry make micro dehumidifiers you can stick inside your grow area?
