Thanxs for the reply Zigg 80% sounds high thats wat the max for my temp is. I noticed that the higher i get the temp like its at 80.7f right now wit 63% rh . I think i need another fan. Ohio State is the shit .(watching the game hitting one looks like we are bout to score).

For Veg i keep mine from 45-60% in flower i keep it at 30-40%, (im in soil)...perfect level. Do you have a hygrometer? It is a must. Keep it up!

Dunno. You're running an oscillating fan on lo-med across (but not on) your canopy?

What are you saying ^^^^^^^^ here?
Lower humidity relies on moving air and steady temps above X.
IMO, you have to move the cooler, damper air from the floor of the grow area so the warmer, dryer air above can descend. I believe the upper air would be less humid, 'cuz moisture is heavier than air and thus, should fall . . . then again, I could be exactly wrong on that (don't think so, though)
Remove all excess water from area.

How do they do it? Airflow. A grow will be fine even at higher humidity if the air is moved around with fans constantly AND there is good exchange with fresh air for the stale air. Once mold sets in though, not so much. You just need to bring it down then with a dehumidifier.

countyboi, are you moving fresh air into your grow room and extracting out old air? This will help keep the humidity in control. Plants sweat a lot of moisture which evaporates into the air with the heat from your grow lamps, if youre not expelling the air and bringing in new air the humidity will eventually climb to 100%. 66% is a little high for flowering (Im assuming this is with lights on) and will probably be higher with lights off which is where the danger is of your plants getting bud rot.
Moving more fresh air through not only gives more CO2 to the plants but also helps remove humidity when lights are on and off.
ps mine is about 55% after feeding, 50% most of the time with lights on, and 55% with lights off. 50% is about the optimum for budding.

Thanks for the reply Jonus. I am checking out my grow right now and my temp says 78.4f and 31%rh so mabye it was because the hygrometer had to settle for awhile or it was just how it was that day but i can breath now. And to answer your question the only way i let fresh are in is by opening up the encloser and my windows its a sunroom with alot of windows do i need to do more? I still have the fan on if that helps .
