only low half way in bloom. i dont at the beginning. the humidity effects the stomata and if its off they cant transpire and this slows photosynthisus....means its slows growth
i like 55 or higher in veg, even to 70%. clones want high as you can get it, i hit 100% for cuts. and i do the 30 to 40% half way into bloom.

Right now I am at 45% humidity. It has slowly increased over the entire grow
I live on the water humidity is a constant issue. Cold fronts will drop humidity but not for very long.
I was curious if there were any products out there that could work for the grow room seeing as the tent pulls air from the room and exhausts it out of the room. So I was thinking dehumidifier running in the room where the tent is.
The DampRid was to perhaps leave in the bud drying box or in the tent & hang the nugs to dry out & cure prior to placing them in jars... I am always thinking ahead

A dehumidifier is used by lots of growers.
It should work for you too.
Just do your homework and pick the one that fits your grow style and schedule.
Not too sure about that DampRid.
I think they will give off a smell into the buds if too close.
A plain cardboard box and a couple of brown paper bags work effectively and effeciently.

If you are using a grow tent, and want to lower humidity for good, get a good exhaust fan. Something that has at least twice as many CFM's as your tent.
I know that with my tent the Humidity was going up randomly, but when i installed my 4" inline fan (177cfm in a 60 CF tent), the humidity stabilized at about 40%...whereas before it was wavering between 40% - 70%.

Picked up a dehumidifier today only complaint is it raises the room temp from the exhaust / heat it gives off... May need to rig up another exhaust to remove the hot air out of the room so it doesn't raise temps in the tent. I have it set on low & on 45% humidity she runs cool with the fan as soon as it starts removing the water it starts putting out some heat. I think I'll be okay as soon as a good cold front hits the humidity will drop back down upwards of 55% before turning it on now a nice 45% in the tent and room itself.
