Intake fan and humidity

[rundlescunder]

Hello I was hoping some could suggest some work arounds. I have a intake fan pulling from my window with 4 inch ducting into my tent. It drops the temp perfectly where I can run 2 qb 96 elites at full power while maintaining 73-75 degrees. Humidity tho is a hassle. I have to run my humidifier at max level to keep humidity around 40 RH. Is there anything I can do to help with this?

Bucket of water
Towel half in the bucket, half out

Great way to add RH

Take air from the room the tent is in for intake. The air outside being pulled in is too dry.

What size is the tent?

Taking cold air from outside this time of year will kill your RH. You can probably eliminate the intake set up and just open the lower vents to take in air from the lung room, and your humidity will jump a bit indoors.
Or maybe even just shut the fan off on the intake and let the exhaust fan pull cold air thru the intake at minimal force. You should at least be able to balance it out.

any pics of the inside with your plants?

Tent size or type will play no part in environmental control. It only provides shelter.

I truly think that you will have better rh for the plants if you just pulled in air from the room the tent is in, rather than outside.

Air conditioner will drop the RH on you. I used to use an AC to keep humidity down in flower.
