I personally wouldn’t want to risk all the work by jacking up at the ass end. Why not just go out and get a dehumidifier?

Dehumidifier did not help me during end of flower, in or out the tent ended up increasing my night time and day time temps

What kind and how big? Growing up and living in the south (Louisiana) I could keep my humidity down when growing and the humidity there can be 80-90%. Are you running your exhaust fan too while it’s on?

where do you live? Do you have any sort of central heat or air in your home? Hard to believe your house would be that high as it would suck for living purposes. You should have little issue keeping the humidity in the correct range.

Im near the great lakes. My house stays at 70f and 60-70% humidity, untill winter comes arpund and it drops to the 40-50 range. So i know the struggle, with a dehumidifier i can keep my 4x2x6 tent at 60 give or take, but i like it personally, i obly havest 2 plants at a time maximum, so a quarter to half pound dries to 62% in about 10 days (perfect dry time imo) ive bever had rot after drying like this. any less humidity and your shit just dries to complete garbage here especially in winter. No fans just a dehumidifier in the room where my tents are, 1 6" exhaust 24/7 on. And just a single port at the bottom of the tent for air inlet. I usually use my scrog net for drying, with smaller buds i hang another net and put a window screen on it to rest the little guys on, i usually flip anything on a screen every 12 hrs so it doesnt dry in a weird shape...
Outdoors and budrot is a different story, almost not worth growing arpund here if your organuc and dont like sprays.

I live close to traverse city but my house is able to maintain 48% during the summer with my geothermal. It’s why I asked if he had central heat or air. I keep my rooms during drying around 58 to 60%

I made a drying box out of a moving wardrobe from Uhaul. A hole in the bottom with a PC fan pulling air in and a second one at the top exhausting. I had to rotate the buds as they dried because of uneven air flow. Dowel rods pushed through for hangers.

I have a similar setup to this I made out of an old broom closet from a mobile home I helped a guy tear down years ago.
