ventilation is more than sufficient, stinky..read a bit more and you'll find that the 5 inch pc fan acts as an inductor to my 6" inline 250 cfm fan on the other end of that duct. oscillating fan is on 3/3 power level now, blowing lots of wind, pc fan sucking air atm with lights off..all I can do.
Man, i think your doing all you can do with out super-sizing to a beef cake mother of a fan!
In a 4x6x8 room I used a whole house dehumidifier just to keep it under 40%. Ventilation during light cycle. It could barely keep it down. The rewards were way better than moldy buds or small buds from RH too high. I live where RH is always high.70 to 80% normal. Out side growing sucks here and so does weed grown out side. AC essential. Like said go cheap grow cheap. 3 hit crippler, couch lock,trip your ass for 3 to 4 hours. It's worth it.
You do or did , hydro though Loc Nar . lots more humidity to begin w/ . Hes only got 3 plants in soil . The entire house is at 60% too , not just his grow space which makes it even tougher to control atleast at a reasonable cost .Quote:

X-C is right and here is the thing.....realistically this guy practically lives in a cave as far as his ability to get what he needs for his grow. From what he has said the town pretty much consists of grandma's house and a gas station. And i'm not too sure about trusting grandma either.....already heard some weird shit about her and I don't even live there.

1tbsp baking soda
1tbsp vegetable oil
1tbsp dish soap
mixed in a gallon of water, misted my buds pretty good with it, they seem to be now lacking their musty odor as much, we'll see what happens in the net 24-48 hours.
Hey, Markass...man that really stinks (LOL) about that mold/humidity problem you've got. Sounds like you said you got it down to about 45% you said last right? Well, hope you can keep it there...!
With everyone speaking about the optimal RH for flowering, I'll put in my few cents...I did watch Jorge's video (a clippit of it, at least) and he mentioned 50% as an "ideal RH," and people here have said between 40%-55%, but I also read somewhere else that the LOWEST POSSIBLE HUMIDITY is ideal. The reason for this is that it causes the plant to produce MORE TRICHOMES! The plant is not only mold resistant at this RH, but it is also so dry 'outside' that the plant must create more resin glands to "protect the seed inside the pod." Regardless of whether or not there is an actual seed in the pod or not, when the calyxes start to be fertilized OR when they are experiencing a false pregnancy, as in sinsemillia plants, the plant responds to the environment with respect to its new growing seed. Therefore, IMO...the dryer...the better.
20% - 40% RH sounds delicious to me! :eat:
OH, and Madeline! You run around here spouting off all that GREAT information, but we don't have an avatar to relate you to! You should be recognizable because you always have great info! How about one of these two?? Maybe you can have Skink "joint" one of them? That would be slick! ;) Just tryna help. :D
