I chose DP as it's supposedly more mold resistant & really doesn't mind the heat. Cheers.

Just pay some of their electric bill, keep em from complaining... it's easy enough to call up the power company, say to em, hey I live on 123 walnut drive, so I'm staying with the inlaws an want to keep things relaxed so I wanna pay 80$ on the bill so I'm not a bum ya know? They will generally say sure thing buddy hit me with your debit card info, gee your such a good son in law I hope my daughter finds a guy like you.

Boom.

Well thats better than 99%... I'd keep fans on those girls 24/7... That too will lower your mold chances as mold likes stagnant still air.

Summer indoor growing can be tough if you don't have the right controls...

Have you looked into my earlier suggestion of going passive intake and using the two fans as exhaust? Remember the passive intake should be 2 to 3 times larger than the exit's.

Don't want to put holes in the bricks really. Also, it's rainy season, so may defeat the purpose. Last thing is I live in the jungle area with lots of dodgy creatures which may get in. I'm currently using both wall fans to extract air & have 2 x 8" oscillating fans. Daytime rh% down to 60...temp @ 32c........

As temps go up RH will go down, hot air can abosrb more humidity which means RH goes down although absolute humidity stays the same (or even more)

I think you should move the hygrometer OFF the plant bag. Check your readings again an hour after you've done so. As a matter of fact, check in a few places higher than that, preferably where the foiliage is. I'll bet you'll get lower readings. I know you said it's rainy season where you are, but that wet soil on the hygrometer is raining too!

* Edit to add
I have a few hygromteres strung up in my grow space. Sort of a redunancy as I never trust any 1reading. IME they differ +|- a few degress manufacturer dependant. You've definitely been given some good advice previously. Ijust noticed hygrometer place,ent in your space and thought I'd mention it.

Plants look great, hella healthy btw nice job!

RH is a bietch. I'm at the mercy of recent rain. I'm keeping low temps 73-78 lights off-on, but RH is hitting 75%. My cab is 2x2 inside my garage. All I can do is keep ventilation fan running, over and under canopy fans going. Hoping it's enough.
