You definitely need to lower your humidity or your buds are going to start going moldy quick. 30%-40% humidity is the sweet spot that you want to shoot for.
Looking at what you've listed, I think the problem is that you lack negative pressure in your tent. Your intake and outtake fans are equal in CFM, which is not good. Your exhaust fan needs to be more powerful in order to clear out all of that excess humidity.
I turned my intake down and exhaust up and RH is down to 53%
The temps outside are still in the mid to upper 80's but I thank you for the input.
This is my first small tent grow.
I am used to a larger area with 3 1000w hps in the flower so I have not had deal with a "smaller" environment.
Appreciate the input.

I'm glad the advice helped and I hope you can get that humidity issue completely under control soon. Good luck.

+1 :0) I always had a neg press in order to make all of my stink
go through the filter, and did not know about the humidity potential.
(also live in dry coastal desert) Thanks!

Anyone else having trouble with the PHANTOM digital ballast for the 315W and their analog timers? I'm on my second ballast and can't figure out why my lights won't turn on using the Hydro farm analog timer and the Hydro farm phantom 315 W ballast? Thanks!

I have been able to open the windows and turn off the A/C
Temps are below 80 and RH is at 40%
I hope the cooler weather is on the horizon.
These are recent pics today is day 19 of 12/12
I think the stretch is over. two days now and no vertical growth on the cheese(front left)
and the cali-o which is in the back left and back right.
so I am still using the FF grow big, big bloom and tiger bloom.
I used bud blood in week one of flower.
My question is my light is 15" inches from the taller plants and I will raise the three critical widows.
They seem to be fine at that distance and the penetration seems to be great.
Any input on the 315cmh canopy penetration?
Thanks

So, immediately getting into COBs and spending the initial loot is recommended over waiting a year for prices to drop, lets say? VS 315W LEC.
All I can tell you is that the improvement in efficiency, performance, spectrum and yield have all combined to make COB LED the hands down best thing I've ever grown plants under, to include sunlight itself.

I'm not telling you what to buy, only what I've experienced myself.

I have seen many timers that say not for use with digital ballast. I am flipping my 315s over tonight so I'll see how mine does, I am using a blue print controllers digital timer an i made sure it didn't say not for digital ballast.
