Here’s my issue now though I am keeping the temperature about 75 degrees, but I want to get the humidity down to below 60% and it has proven to be difficult. I have 2 dehumidifier bags and a small space dehumidifier I bought at Home Depot and I still keep showing humidity around 75%. My basement is more humid than the rest of the house. I can turn on my air conditioner and that might help but I am not sure if I should bite the bullet and get a bigger dehumidifier.

You need a heat pump or compressor type of dehumidifier, preferably one that drains to waste and one you can set triggers on it to maintain a constant RH in your basement. Work out what size you need by how much water you give your plants in a day and double or triple it should get you around the size you need, depending on how much you are fighting ambient RH.
Your AC will bring it down a bit but they are not efficient at lowering RH.

Day 48. The tent is absolutely stuffed. Raised the lights and lowered some girls, strawberry pie auto is really tall already(and looking a bit sickly, possible lockout). Im trying to avoid re-locating the photos outside..too much shade which requires moving them around a couple times a day. And the pests are very abundant thanks to a warmer spring. I have an army of praying mantis on the way, they just haven't hatched yet. waiting patiently3 PhotosShappel S3000 3.5x6x6' ice hut
