Will defoliation make a huge difference in RH?

I am in an on-going battle with humidity in my grow tent and my grow room plants are in week 4 of flowering and i cannot reduce the RH all i have is couple of eva-dry mini closte dehumidifiers that aren’t doing shit and one small probreeze dehumidifier that i just added as a desperate option but i don’t believe it will do much. I am growing in coco and had to limit my watering to only 1 per day, I am trying everything but the humidity wont go below 60% it is relatively humid in my area but I cannot afford an industrial dehumidifier. Will defoliating the plants make a huge difference? What are some cheap methods to prevent mold and high humid Levels? Any advice is welcomed

Defoliation will help air flow. I would grab a cheap dehu if possible.
 
Is the room your grow is in building to levels moisture forms? If not you don't have a humidity problem.

Good air exchange is all that's needed and a better fix than playing with humidity.
 
Maybe. Do a lollipoping on the lower areas since it's in the dark. See if that helps.
Try to keep the RH consistent - no big swings.
 
You shouldn't need an industrial dehumidifier. I wouldn't pay more than $300 for one, and that's only if it had a pump and some other features.
 
You need to dehumdify the room you grow in. All those little dehus are absolute shit. Get a 50 dehu, or at least a decent size one. Ignore all sq footage claims. That's not industrial, just like what I personally use for a basement.

The h0melabs 4500 sq ft one is a 50 pint, I use it..its around 200
 
Turn the heat up in your house/living area, it will drop the rh outside the grow area as well as inside the grow area provided there is air exchange happening
