Your fine. You can use a dehu to drop the humidity levels but consistent 50% - 60% won't hurt your plants. The only thing it will do is increase the likelihood of bud rot but you aren't there yet.
Not sure of the area you are in but summer is coming in the states and things are going to get drier unless you live in the southeast where humidity never drops below 90%. You may be able to let the season bring lower humidity but if you want to be able to control it yourself then a dehu is the only answer. If you will be placing the dehu in your lung room understand that it will add heat to the lung room so you'll have to contend with adding some cooling to the lung room to stabilize your temp.
Depending on the size of your lung room, I would also suggest you look into a refrigerator condensation pump so that you don't have to constantly empty the dehumidifier. I had a 5 x 5 setup in a 12 x 12 home office. I used a 9 liter dehumidifier. I had to empty the dehumidifier at least twice a day. I was in the southeast. It was a PITA until I connected the drain hose on the dehumidifier to drain into the condensate pump. After that it would automatically drain the dehumidifier reservoir into the vegetable garden so ne need to have to keep emptying the dehumidifier.

Humidity problem
I'm having problems with bringing down my humidity especially after watering. I'm using a 2x2x5 tent with an exhaust fan pulling air out and an oscillating fan to circulate air. My plants are ready to switch light cycle for flowering but I'm having a hard time with humidity. Will using a dehumidifier help to bring the humidity down enough for flowering? I'm stuck now between 50 and 60%.Tags: None
