What are you trying to achieve?
How low do you want it?
I have finished plants in that range with no problems.
Are you venting to outside the grow room?

Agree with above.
And if you put a dehumidifier inside the tent you will just vent the air out and draw in air of the same humidity. So that plan wont work. If you have an air conditioner that will dehumidify the whole house and lower it effectively.

If you get a dehumidifier, keep in mind they blow a lot of warm air. You will want to run a hose from the tent to the unit, then from the unit you’ll want to exhaust the heat somewhere. You tent will suck in all the hot air if you just set the dehumidifier by it. In actuality, you can put the dehumidifier in the tent, as long as your heat is going somewhere, preferably outside the entire room.

the VPad chart is a great too to help with temps and humidity, i pretty much know it by heart now


I installed my unit today. this is the result

And when manipulated it becomes

Awaiting lights on for riding out the cycle of lighting and temps.
Night humidity swing 28% up to 69% depending upon settings. Unit RH setting 50% smallest swings, 28-58-degrees. AVERAGE RH 43%
