Can you open up the tent? Air circulation helps with humidity—- seems like that’s the problem…

If running a vent fan it is almost useless to also dehumidify. The vent fan can draw in humid air faster than a dehumidifier can remove the moisture.
Your dehumidifier will run continuously and have minimal impact on the humidity. If you do not run the extractor fan then a dehumidifier will work. The problem is then the heat generated by the dehumidifier will warm the tent.
Also, inexpensive Peltier style dehumidifiers are almost useless. They do work... sort of. They work so so when the humidity is really high but most do very little below 60% RH and really struggle to ever obtain 50%.
Compressor type dehumidifiers are much more energy efficient and they are much more powerful and able to obtain much lower humidity. You may still have a problem with heat buildup in the tent. It all depends on your conditions since a compressor type machine will not have to run continuously like a Peltier machine.
A really good solution is to hack a window air conditioner. Modify it so the conditioned air can be blown through a hose and you can both dehumidify and cool your tent.

Is a dehumidifier needed for my setup?Tent size is 4'x2'x5'. Humidity ranges from 50-70 and average temperature is 80F.
There are 3 plants (3 gallons - 6 weeks of age) and 1 plant (1 gallon - 1 week), with plans to add one more 3or5 gallon pot.
Given this info, will I require a dehumidifier? If so, what size?

Now getting condesation in my tent when I've added this duct to a pipe exiting the house? Am near harvest too.Didn't have an issue with condensation inside the tent before, now that I've attached the duct to a pipe going out i'm getting condensation inside... Does the set up look right? I've hooked up to a smaller tent too via a T. Could it be pressure?

Non-oscillating fan in small grow box: good enough for now?Hey growers! 🌱 I’ve got a 9-speed USB fan (quite strong but not oscillating). For now I point it at the wall so the airflow bounces back on the seedling. Any better way to position it in the box until I upgrade to an oscillating fan later? 🤔

Tiny tent = Tiny totesIs it true if you keep your roots small the plant will stay small? I have 2 small totes that hold 6 quarts each in a 18"×18"×48" tent. Each will have one plant. Size 14"×8"×5". Can't fit anything bigger in this small tent. Don't want to go bigger. No space. Is it ok?Setup. Other

Indoor or outdoor questionI’m thinking of starting a new autoflower grow.
My question is: can you do indoor / outdoor / indoor for the plant without stressing it out? My current tent is in use, but I think it might be free in 6-8 weeks. Or should I just keep it outdoors completely?Setup. Other

I made a firebomb?Is it a fire hazard if 5v computer fan is jammed and the power is on for 2-3 weeks?
I'm far away from home and I have camera in my growbox. A tape has fallen to the fan and it is not rotating. Can it heat up so much that fire starts? Should I drive 1600km for that?

Plastic grow bags. What's the deal?So I'm using plastic grow bags. They seem to hold moisture a lot more than fabric grow bags.
Might have to cut more holes in them or just use them for transplanting clones or something.
Anyone use these? What are they good for? Suggestions?
