Intake air is humid...how do YOU deal with this problem? +repa

What's up my fellow stoners. I just built a new grow room. It's a 5x10x7 tent in a 12x12x8 room. One 1000 w light (1 more going in soon). I'm exhausting with two 6" inline fans... One going out of my (covered) window and the other blowing into the attic. To be clear...both fans blow air from inside the tent out of the room. I have 1 6 " inlet hole in the window that lets air into the room. I

I live pretty close to the ocean (socal) so the the air outside is pretty humid (especially right now...it's been raining all morning). Temps in the room are at 66 F and about 63 F in the tent. I thought that the two 6" fans would be provide plenty of suction and keep the humidity down but they're not. I think it' because the air I'm sucking into the room is pretty humid too.

So my question is: Has anybody else experienced this problem(I know some one has), and how did/do you deal with it. I have a dehumidifier. I was just hoping to not have to plug it in. It cost just as much (if not more) to run as 2 1000 watters.

I threw in a pic of some AMAZING super lemon haze for your enjoyment. Grown outdoors in Southern CA.

Peace and Spliffs

bump...bump

i just took my intake away from the window droped it on the floor so and left window open so its pulling air from the house and window, the door is still shut but its not air tight.. hope that helps

My tent intake is attached to the tent, it's a flap. There are multiple flaps going around the lower perimeter, I have the one furthest from the window open. ^Not sure if that would lower my humidity but thanks anyways.

Somebody...come on. Am I missing something or does everyone use a dehumidifier.

Is your home climate controlled? If you have a/c, pull from the home and exhaust out of the room until you can pretreat the air in some fashion to dry it out a bit before it reaches the grow room, if not, not much else to do when bringing in raw air to the grow room, will get nasty eventually.

Humidity is not necessarily a bad thing. As long as you have fans and proper circulation I'd think.
Maybe turn down the heat a little, lower the intake or add more exhaust...?
Basically a dehumidifier works by making the air it sucks in colder to condense the water in it and then collecting it. If you can take the air from a colder room or area, that would probably solve it.

you can try adding some sort of filter to remove humidity. have you check to see what the humidity is in the tent ?

On the intake I guess?

yes sirrrr, or window or where ever the air is coming from.

Just checked the humidity in the tent ad it's at 43. I'm fuckin stoked. I took the glass off of my light and detached the exhaust that was connected to it. (so it's not not an air-cooled reflector any more).
