This could do the trick, and it's pretty cheap.

run AC in there. AC will dry out the place.. Or just use a de-humidifier.

use a dehumiddifier run the constant drain hose into a small bucket tank so you wont be draining the built in tank all the time

how's that going to help with all that air exchange from outside, the dehumidifier can't dry that much air instantly.

sorry I miss read your setup. Use the dehumidifier as long as you can without raising the room temperature too high (over 85 f ). If you can open a window.

Not true, I had a tent the same size and had a dehumidifier very similar and it worked enough to drop the humidity about 15% to acceptable levels in flowering. Currently I use the same dehum. in a 8x4 tent.

That dehumidifier should be good to go but be aware that you are 2 weeks into flower, the time where that stretch is taking place and loads of growth equalling plenty of humidity from the leaves. If your levels are around 60% the dehum. should take em down to 45-50% at least. Hope that helps.
