Looking for some advive here folks!

Yesterday I chopped and hung my plants in my flower room (6x6x7) feet. 2 weeks ago i was having probs with high humidity so bought a dehumidifier and it helped alot.

Now that ive harvested Ive got my intake and extraction turned down real low and a oscalating fan blowing around the room Im after a slow dry and dont want a quick fix here im just concerned now that my fans are low the humidity is at 51% great i thought, then i noticed my temps where 80f not so good.If i turn my extraction up to lower the temps to the desired low 70,s f my humidity rises even with a dehumidfier switched on..

So what i want to know is how to get temps done without the humidity going up?

Thanks in advance.

Well for one it seems like its going up but its technically not, the relative humidity is, because when its colder the air cant hold as much water also, maybe you want to looking to another/ better dehumidifier

The temps are going up for sure Ive got 3 different places where i take readings from,the rh is 51% now wich im happy with with the dehumidifier on, earlier today i had my extraction running at full power and my temps were 71f and humidity was 70% So now that ive turned both intake (from outside) and extraction down to thier lowest setting my rh is fine but my temps are rising.

Thanks for your reply.

Ok so within an hour of noticing temps of 80f Ive increased my extraction slightly and now have a reading of 77f rh 51% So ive increased extraction a little more and will monitor this till i get my desired range of 70f and hope the humidity dont rise as i increase.
