I have a humidifier Constantly going but my 400watt HP's is killing all humidity like a thirsty dickhead...if I put it in a closet I'm afraid the heat will exceed over 85 degrees. My plants range from two nodes to three and a half nodes and the humidity is hitting 25% max with light on and 80% when off. Is this a big issue? Will I need to worry. Should I move it to a 6'wide,3'Long,7'high closet?

Measure the room not whats under the lights, its this air the plants get. If a humidity meter is to be placed under lights i believe it needs to be shaded. Most reptile houses will have their humidity meter positioned away from the lights.

Towel hung for added bennifit . one of my plants started to receive stress(one of my plants that had root rot that I'm currently fixing) so I put it in a dark room. How long should I keep her there? I want her to remoisten before placing her under the light again

Dont give her root rot in the first place, biggest fix to root rot in soil (maybe your in hydro idk) is watering properly and creating a proper wet dry cycle....

can you cut a hole in the closet .so the hot air goes out side the room and it can suck up the humidity in the plant room . I know you have the issue resolved now but for later use .

Long term - throw money at your problems, coolshade, inline, carbon filter, temp controlled seperate extraction etc etc
