Air exchange is one of the biggest over looked problems people have, Look into getting a decent filtration system, Its worth it in the end.

i'm running into a humidity problem as well. a dehumidifier seemed like the logical solution, but i thought i'd search these boards first for other solutions.

i have a 10x12 room with a 10x6 flower area with 2 400w hooded HPS's. i have a veg area with a 400w mH i'm going to curtain off with visqueen to make a veg area so i can continually harvest 6 plants every 2 months. the room is temp controlled with an AC mounted high on one wall to bring temps down in the summer, and 2 space heaters mounted over air vents to heat it in the winter. the issue driving the humidity is the ambient humidity. right now, ambient humidity is around 85% - 90%.. inside the room it hovers between 75% and 80%... i need those numbers in the 50-60 range, so i guess a dehumidifier is what's needed...
