Temperature and humidity are two separate things. Changing the humidity would not change the temperature.

Depends on which stage your plants are at. Seedlings and clones need high humidity to avoid dehydration until their roots develop. Budding plants are better with low humidity to avoid bud rot. I also think low humidity will also encourage resin production.
I couldn`t tell you the exact RH desired at each stage, I`ve never been quite that scientific. Oh as an aside, when drying plants it`s better if conditions are not too dry, if the plants dry too quickly this will affect the quality of the bud.

Farmergiles summed it up pretty well.Low humidity while flowering, Higher, but not "High" humidity while Vegging and cloning. When flowering, it is best to water your plants in the beginning of the light cycle so that the soil is fairly dry when darkness comes. Lower Temp, Humidity, and Darkness = "MOLD!"

I don't grow but I store mine at about 70-75% relative humidity.
Anything above 80% and mold will grow. Humidity also plays a role in the impact of storage on your cigars. Optimally, a cigar should be stored at a relative humidity level of sixty-eight to seventy-four percent. In this humidity range, typical cigars are normally able to evolve at an optimal rate. If the cigar is stored in a climate that is drier than sixty-eight percent, it will most likely result in the cigar drying out. When this happens, the cigar not only becomes fragile when handled, but will also burn much faster when smoked. The dryness also has an impact on the flavor of the cigar, causing it to take on an aggressive, bitter taste. On the other hand, if the cigars are exposed to humidity above seventy-four percent, they will burn unevenly when lit. Also, damp cigars have a strong tendency to take on a flavor which is not only heavy, but also acidic. Another unpleasant side effect is that cigars which are exposed to excessive amounts of humidity are very likely to begin to rot and mold. How to Properly Store a Cigar - Dominican Cigars - Premium Cigars from Buydominicancigars.c om I found that tabacco has about the same mold 'tolerances'. I hope it helps.
