I'm fine during veg, but trying to keep RH around 40% during late flower seems impossibleI need to keep the humidity down in my grow room, especially during the flowering cycle. But when running a dehumidifier, the temperature always spikes above 80°. How can I resolve this issue?

I think you're right about needing more air exchange.Use an ac not a dehumidifier and condition the air in the room the tent is in so the tent is sucking in cool 72 degree air will also keep you humidity between 45 and 60 hr through the day and night
You could increase air exchange, bigger fan and move more air
Just about any 6 inch should pair up nice with a 5x5. What is high to you?I think you're right about needing more air exchange.
I'm already pumping cold air from AC vent into tent, but humidity still high.
I'm using a 5×5 tent with 6 inch filter and fan.
I can't get humidity low enough during flower. I have some super dense Durban Poison that needs 40-45 humidity, but at night, humidity spikes to 65%Just about any 6 inch should pair up nice with a 5x5. What is high to you?
I can control humidity in my 2×4 tent, it's when I step up to the 5x5 that I have problems. Have tried dehumidifier both inside and/or outside, but it's not enough. I think AC unit in tent may be only solution, but expense will be high.Have you tried just running your dehumidifier outside the tent?!
I setup in basement, vent outside house 4" inline exhaust
That's what I do for my 3x3 seems to work
I'm usually able to keep my RH around 55% with temps 71-74 when lights are off these past months
Lights on isn't an issue unless we get lots of rain
I have watched a few videos of people using a second tent and controlling THAT environment and then sucking that into their flower tent tooI can control humidity in my 2×4 tent, it's when I step up to the 5x5 that I have problems.

I have tried that in my smaller tents during vegetable stage. But when it comes to a large tent during flowering, it doesn't hold up.I have watched a few videos of people using a second tent and controlling THAT environment and then sucking that into their flower tent too
I have two 4² tents in a bedroom(lungroom) and have this Dehumidifier it pulls room down to 38rh(even with door open ) and extraction fan on tent pulls air into tent from lung room as it exhausts air from tent .I can control humidity in my 2×4 tent, it's when I step up to the 5x5 that I have problems.

I like "dilutes the heat it produces". So your method cools two (2) 4x4 tents? I wonder if my dehumidifier can take my BR to 38% rh. I see if it does, then I'll try with my tent.I have two 4² tents in a bedroom(lungroom) and have this Dehumidifier it pulls room down to 38rh(even with door open ) and extraction fan on tent pulls air into tent from lung room as it exhausts air from tent .
You need a decent compressor style dehumidifier to keep up with conditions and have it outside of the tent to dilute the heat it produces .
Im in a hot climate and this methode works for me
I just checked out Spider Farmer, and they have a 32pint outside the tent dehumidifier as a new productSpiderFarmer just released a unit that could be perfect for this. It’s a new product, and someone’s gotta be a Guinea pig, but it’s a dehumidifier that you hook up to your tent through the tent ducts, and the unit itself sits outside the tent. It’s supposed to be for the purpose of keeping your tent humidity low without having to do your whole lung room.
