So I have a 6x6x8 grow tent that currently hangs around the 60-63% humidity. My autos are four weeks old and 3 out of the four are indica. I realize soon im probably going to need to drop that down. I opened the bottom ports, and thats how I got to this humidity. How can I drop my humidity the most cost effective way. I know some people are going to say about some 100-200 some dollar thing, but im really not trying to spend much more for this grow. Im in a basement with a dehumidifer on the outside of the tent mabe a 3ft away. I cant really move that guy in there though. I was think about buying a cheap one, the question is which one would be good? Was looking at a pro breeze, but with research found out its garbage.

What are the temps and what ventilation are you using?

I'm gonna say this one more time then I won't post anything else on your threads A you need a exhaust fan! To control your temps better and pull in fresh air...D2EBD8C0-8CD4-4A1C-B48E-21ACFA725FC4.jpeg

No ventilation except through the vents.

What light are your running? Can we get some pictures of this grow? Air exchange is critical. You should have an inline fan blowing air out of the tent running 24/7.

Filter is not necessary but your house is really gonna stink without one.

Higher humidity can be okay as long as your plants foliage isn't too dense, all you need to do would be add some good fans to keep the air moving at 60% won't kill you.
Here is a VPD chart to show the optimal temp to humidity ratio.
For 70° you would want to get between 40-50% RH optimally.
