Hi there I’m new to this an currently on my first grow I’ve got 4 girls in a 5x5x6 tent in my garage I’m currently using a 600w light 6 inch exhaust 4 inch intake 16 inch oscillating fan an a little clip fan and a little oil filled rad . I’m on my 3rd/ 4th week of flower an I’m struggling with RH which at the moment is around 70-75% ami right in thinking this needs to be between 40-50% could any help with tips on getting that down please. Thanks

what sort of air is going into the tent and where is this air coming from?
in other words; how are you providing air to the plants?

That's part of the problem, you're just recirculating hot humid air. I would put a piece of plywood in the window with a hole cut big enough for a louvered "drier vent" to connect your exhaust to. But you still need cooler air coming in

I hook my intake to an AC vent, so it pulls cold air in.
I would...it'll just build the heat up if you can't get it out of the grow room...not too mention I leave my intake and extraction fans running 24/7 to help with condensation during lights out
My exhaust runs into my attic, so no re-circulation of hot humid air...

I had this issue when I was growing in my detached garage. Humidity was a pain. I finally moved to the basement and I've been in high 40's and low 50's
Definitely need to have the hot air duct outside and need to get cool air in. A dehumidifier is also a way to help

Oh the joy of central ac. Lol that's what u need wi do units make it a pain
Yes you can, but I suggest using a hepa filter for your intake duct, otherwise you're sucking in the bugs too
Oh I still have a window unit in there, just in case it gets too hot, haven't had to run it yet, but it's there
And we've been into the high 90's (F) already here in south west missouri, with heat indexes over 100 (F)

Do you have a window unit or a portable?
