My guess is heat....
Humidity is way low and your temps are way high.
You'll need to move some air to get the temps under control and you might think of getting a humidifier as well.

Would a humidifier
Be an electrical hazard or is it okay to put one

A lot of people use them to raise their humidity.
Why do you think it would be a hazard ?

Im cooling it the best i can its staying at 82 now but still dry
It's labor intensive, but if you soak a towel with water & hang it in the space it will really help raise the humidity in there.
But you will have to re-soak it every couple of hours.

Fuck that... Solution to high temps is hot air out, cool air in...
He didn't post anything about ventilation my guess is there isn't any.... That explains everything.

portable a/c unit. this is a permanent fix, not a band-aide like the towel. you could also put a bucket of HOT water in your grow area. it will last longer than the towel trick, but will take up space for pots.

Passive intake is allowing the air to free flow in as the active out take is pushing it out.
If your tent is zipped up, your out take will force air in the tent. That is called passive intake.
You shouldn't be venting in the same room either, I don't know if you are but I'm just throwing that out there
the reason I say is because most of the time, you can't control the heat the equipment puts off, thus trying to cool your tent with already heated air. The out take should be vented anywhere possible

My setup is a closet grow with an outtake that comes from inside to the attic as for intake all i have is a fan on the bottom of the door blowing in. I understand what u mean now but i dont think i can do much because of the small space. I may have to eliminate the mh which kinda sucks. Thanks for all yhe help.
