I’m having a bit of a problem with humidity being too high, I am currently 3-4 weeks into flowering and have tried dropping my humidity to 45%-50%. I’m hovering around 50%-60% RH currently but read it’s ideal to between the 45%-50% range. I live in the south and today happens to be rainy. I bought a dehumidifier as of today and just put in the room (on the outside of my tent due to it being too small to fit inside) to help bring the humidity down. I’m still waiting for the humidity to drop more in my room as I just plugged my dehumidifier in 15 mins ago. Just wanna avoid bud rot! If there are also other methods that work along with a dehumidifier definitely could use some insight! Also would like to try and avoid airy buds!
Yes ideally you dont want your humidity in the 60’s-70’s during flower but as long as you have good airflow you should be alright. Try and keep ypur canopy cleaned up to avoid any condensation from humidity on the leaves and paired with good canopy airflow your golden

I have my humidity set to 50%, should I bump it back to 60%? I’ve sorta seen different answers on this question.
Im personally shooting for low to mid 50s and i have my inkbird set on 52 for dehumidification

The yellowing leaves in the pic, are these ok to cut off? I just let the plant naturally shed them. I read yellowing leaves to be normal during this stage. Just wasn’t sure if you could defoliate yellowing leaves during flowering
So this is an issue I’ve always faced, but, the good news is I’ve never had bud rot because I keep plenty of air moving, with and without the lights on. My plant has buds dense enough to use as a baseball bat, so I try not to worry about it. Here’s a 24 hr. snapshot of my climate.

Mine are nowhere near that dense and I think I’m 4 weeks in flowering with 5 more weeks of growing left! I topped my plant. I just hope I at least end up with some decently dense buds. Shown in the pics I posted seems it has awhile
Id say you can cut them off if you want. Cut them or let them fall regardless its gonna be the same outcome as you cant save spent leaves

Humidity and temperature work hand in hand to get proper vpn.
What is the temperature inside your tent? You can easily do 50-60% humidity if tent temperature is around 80 degrees. 45-50% humidity is ideal for temperatures in the mid 70’s.

I was able to get my humidity down. I’ve been able to maintain 50%-55% thanks to the dehumidifier I just got. This graph actually helps me out a lot. Seems like I have my humidity and temp now where it needs to be.

Im in the south too. Humidity control is a hard one. Luckily RH has been in the 40s the last few days and my dehumidifier hasnt run at all. Only prob is as you know, our winters down here the humidity goes to crap, so i got a feeling a humidifier will be in my near future, especially if im going to be vegging 
I got the opposite problem, Alaska winters, indoor grows lack humidity from dry heat.
My tent is at 81f with only 35% house humidity, dry.
I found a few tips to get the humidity up to 49% without a humidifier.
Added a shallow under-bed storage tote, added a gallon water, and built a raised cage for my soft pots.
Reversed my top 6" exhaust fan to blow in instead of out. Raised my h% from 35 to 49. Did raise the heat 4 degrees.
