So I'm on a budget.... Well basically my wife is mad because I've spent over 3,000.00 on my rooms so far.... So I'm looking to lower my humidity but I can't afford two dehumidifiers.... one for each room..... So I was thinking of getting two more fans.... one for each room and placing the new more powerful fans on my fresh air intake and taking the 6" inline fans there and placing it on my air cooled hoods along with the one I already have.... So that would double the air flow in and out of each room.... Can I do anything else to lower humidity???? And will more air flow help lower humidity?

It depends on humidity levels both inside and outside the room. How is the humidity level in your area?

running ur room ac or any will reduce the humidity. I can go from 70%to 40 humidity by dropping 15-20 degrees

AC units do dry the air, but they use a lot more power than a dehumidifier. The dehumidifier will actually remove water from the air.

keeping the room warm when the lights out will reduce humidity
keeping the exhaust fan higher than the intake fan will reduce humidity
having the intake fan blowing towards a tray of rock salt will help to reduce the humidity

lolloping the plant and thinning out the canopy will reduce the amount of leaves on the plant in turn reducing the humidity

also lolloping the plant and thinning out the canopy will help with airflow and reduce the chance of bud rot in late flower
