Wondering if anyone can help or advise me please !!! 2 weeks into flower and can’t get my humidity below 75% ! I have an 8x4 tent in the spare bedroom . Two oscillating fans inside .5” inlet fan
6” outlet . I’ve tried heating the tent up . Heating the room itself up . Tried the inlet near an open window and still nothing !! What’s my issue here ! Apparently the humidity outside is 94% so not sure if sucking in from the window is the correct idea ? Is it because the outlet is in the same room and the inlet ? Never had this issue in summer don’t think but now I’m having a world of problems !! Please help !!! :(

I think humidity tends to be higher when temps are higher.
You probably have a/c going in summer which is why you dont have issues because a/c dehumidifies..
Run a/c or run a dehumidifier

Humidity: the bane of my existence, yet my turtles look so cute and happy right now. I just wanted to add, DON'T buy a cheap "thermo electric" dehumidifier, they remove a paltry amount of water. You will need to dehumidify the entire room, not just the tent. What you need is a 30 pint compressor dehumidifier, at a minimum-I'm in a very similar situation and my Homelabs "1500 sq ft" dehumidifier fixed me right up. Ignore the square footage claims, they are all grossly inflated. My 1500 sq ft dehumidifier works like a charm in a 400 sq ft space, but more than that and I'd probably have to upgrade. There are so many random Chinese dehumidifiers on Amazon right now, be sure to check to see if it is UL or ETL certified, and check the wattage it uses. Mine pulls around 300 watts and is plenty strong enough for my room.

if your humidity outside is 94% you might need a dehumidifier thats pretty high for outside and really thats all you can work with really is the 94%
