While my plant was in veg, humidity of 65-80% wasn't a big deal, but now that I've switched to 12/12, it concerns me. The room is generally around 55%, but the grow tent itself is currently registering 85%!
Thinking my sensor was fubar, I put a second meter in the tent. Both meters register the same temp & humidity levels. Here's what I've tried:
1. Damp Rid - one small bucket of it in the rear corner of the tent.
2. Dehumidifier - tiny room sized model (inside the tent). After ~12 hours, it had collected roughly 1/4 cup of water.
3. I dump out the run-off water after watering the plant so it's not sitting in the collection tray.
The plant is in a 2-gallon fabric pot that's elevated about 1/2 inch in the catch plate underneath. I like that her roots get air, but I'm thinking maybe the evaporation from the sides is contributing to the high humidity in the tent. But now that I've switched to 12/12 (4 days ago), I'm afraid to transplant her again. Is it soon enough that I could get away with that?
Any other ideas for lowering the humidity? The 24-hr average temp is 74° F and average humidity is 63%.

I'll add a couple more and see how that works.
