high humidity problems in flower time.

Hello folks,
my flowering time falls in September Oktober this year. right now humidity in my tent is 76% and even in my room its about 70%. Air exchange is on maximum. This gets even worse if it rains for days in a row and the lights go off at night. yesterday it was over 80% in the 12h dark period. Not a big deal yet because its only 3 weeks into flower. Im exhausting the air via tube over balkony and intake happens over underpressure through the bottom intakes. Works fine as long as it isnt wet af. Im really getting worried now and looking for ways to make it better. Right now the only thing i have i kind is changing to a carbon filter, closing all my windows and balkony, turning up my heater and reducing humidity in my room. You really dont want wet air for carbon filter. But im the guy that likes fresh air and if i did it like that, it would start to get smelly in my room pretty fast. Not plant smell, but generelly and unpleasent note if you keep windows closed all the time. Arent there other ways? I dont know how dehumidifiers are supposed to work if you have a high air exchange rate in the tent.

Get a dehumidifier for the room the tent is in. And maybe check for mold in the walls.

ok but again, how does a humidifier work if youre window or balkony are open all day?

It doesn't. And you won't get your RH down.

so in rainy days the only way is a smelly, unaired room?

You should look into why it's smelly. Or move the tent.

Turn on the dehumidifier and light a scented candle.

dude, humans breath, humans sweat, many humans smoke. Just because you dont smell it, doesnt mean others cant

edit: just thinking, the tent with plant and the carbon-filter should actually make for an effective air-cleaner and replenish oxygen the you breath. But my single plant in my small tent isnt big enoguh i guess.

if you cant make out the difference between a ventilated room and one without airexchange for a longer period of time...then probably because youre already used to it. You dont complain about something you feel to be normal.

If there’s above average air flow/exchange I wouldn’t sweat it. Just keep it clean. Maybe wipe down walls & floor once a week with isopropyl alcohol & let dry. As long as I’ve had good air movement I haven’t had any issues with RH going up to 75-80% at night. Always be diligent with checking for mold.

You cannot control your environment if your windows/balcony are open. You basically have an outdoor grow inside a tent.

yeah guess i have to have windows closed and only open them every couple of hours for a few minutes then. And set up a Carbon Filter.
