High humidity

[aspiegeek]

So I'm in the first week of flower with my girls. There going great and look healthy with no signs of pests or mould however! My RH even with a dehumidifier and various passive dehumidifier bags is still at 60%, lowest I can get it too is 50% but most the time it's hanging 60/65% and I'm panicking about mould appearing as they start making bud.

I'm already using Canna spray which helps prevent it.

Has anyone else successfully grown in this humidity? Am I worrying about nothing?

I'm trying to improve airflow by opening windows as much as pos.

I have a tent with extraction fan with carbon filter. 2x 7-inch fans, and a 4-Inch inlet fan.

Right now you have nothing to worry about as the buds aren't big and packed. I mature my plants at 60% (growing) and dry them (hung) down at 50-55% and have never had a problem.

That's awesome to know. Thankyou. I have now got it fairly under control it's staying between 40-55% max with the electric dehumidifier running for 12-hours a day (it's only a small one but does a good job).

And plants seem to be doing good, replanted yesterday as they had got root bound. My fault for under estimating size pot I needed but hopefully they'll be ok. Won't make that mistake again

I don't understand everyone's obsession with big pots (not you specifically). Just because roots reach the bottom of a pot doesn't mean the plant is root-bound. I use a #3 (3 gallon) nursery pot for my mature 4-foot plants.

Wow your girl looks awesome. My auto jacks I've put in 3-gallon pots and that's where they'll stay. But my Candida Sativa girls where getting super big and I only had them in 2-gal pots so had to get them into bigger ones. There now in 6-gallon which is more than enough room for them. They are big plants tho (although I've been doing LST with them so they grow wide and flat).
