getting towards the end, and the last thing i need is mold or rot. usually my rh is 40-45. i have an exzaust and 2 fans blowing under and over the canopy. sure my cabinet is packed with plant, but today i went in there and it was 64! yikes.
my baby is sick, and we baught a vicks humidifier that is in my bedroom. could that be the cause?
either way, how can i drop rh some more?

also its cool, but very humid outside the house.....

What's the rH of your inlet air (the air in the house). If your inlet air rH is high then nothing short of a dehumidifier will fix that, IMO.

yeah that makes sense. its weird, because it just seems like today has been higher.....i was told that a dehumidifier does not make a big difference. and i dont have alot of $ to spend on a good one. i guess ill just have to keep my finger crossed?:wall:

Yeah, I went and bought a dehumidifier and it generated more heat then it took out water, so I'm not using it anymore. But the rH where I live is low to begin with. So long as you have decent air flow and the plants aren't packed in too tight you should be fine in my opinion. Good luck!
