If your extraction fan is already running at full power all of the time then plugging in an inkbird won’t sort the issue. Where are you dumping the extracted air?
Humidity problem start of flowering

if I buy a large dehumidifier will this sort it out?

It probably will, but they do use a good amount of electricity. No way to dump moist air outdoors?

Not really mate I could probably put it on top of the curtain rail pointing at the open window but not got anywhere else to duct it out

I’ve just been out and bought a 18L dehumidifier so hoping that should bring it down

A bigger dehumidifier will fix the problem but it’ll cost you in electricity. I run an extraction fan during veg when I dont need co2. Once I flip and start running my co2 gen I don’t have a choice but to run the dehumidifier. It balances out costs a bit since the lights are on less during flower.

That should sort everything out for you. I run a 50 pint in my 11x2 room with over 30 plants and it works great. I’d still try and find a way to duct your exhaust out the window and save $$$

okay cheers mate I’ll see what I can do cause don’t want to be leaving the window open 24/7, but will even try duct tape it to the wall next to the window so it can’t be seen

They make window insert kits that can disguise it a bit if you’re after stealth

I have my exhaust vented into an old chimney and it runs 24/7....It's ideal.
So along with better ventilation, you could start a IPM program and eliminate bugs and molds from your future...I believe that was bud rot and not pm by the way, but a IPM and proper ventilation will take care of both.
Regalia for PM and and Venerate for a variety of bugs, both are made by the same company and both are certified organic. A quart of each will last most small growers over a year, and it will work out to a few dollar a week to protect your plants and make them thrive...and no more molds or bugs, or lost product, lost time, etc!! If you watch for sales you can find both in the $50 a quart price range. https://growgreenmi.com/daily-deals.html/

I’ve got a inkbird humidity controller the sensor has a long enough cord so the display can be mounted outside the tent with the sensor inside

The doesn't do anything if the exhaust fan is already on 24/7 and its still 70% RH
The OP obviously has a very undersized exhaust system

There are some other similar type products but I personally don't know what they are...Hopefully someone from the UK will see this that does know.

Well since this thread is so fresh, and it seems to be worked out for the OP, figure ill ask here about my humidity.
Any reccomendations? Running a 4x4 tent in a sealed 12x12 room. Im at day 24 of 12/12 and I cannot get the humidity down during the day.
I am running 800 cfm 8" AC infinity for exhaust and 600cfm 6" AC infinity for intake, two port holes are open at the bottom also for passive flow.
Two waykar 2,000 sqft dehumidifiers in the room keep the lung room air below 50% usually.
I have a 12" oscillating fan at the canopy, three clip fans under, and one clip fan at the top of the tent. I also am using 1500 ppm of co2
Yet I'm still running up to 67% humidity during the day, and 68% spike at lights off
The red lines are start of day and end of day
