Closet Humidity

[Markass]

I'm having problems...my lights turn off at 7am, and the temp drops some. Along with that, the humidity is going up to 60-70%...I'm starting to smell a stale moldy odor coming from the buds...I've looked into de humidifiers and have yet to find one that's reasonable for my budget at the moment. Is it my only option to lower humidity? Three girls 3 weeks into flower...I don't want to lose them now...or even later due to molding... Can someone give me a little bit more info about mold maybe? Perhaps how much tolerance my flowers may have for it, how nasty of a taste it's going to add, and also if once it starts it can be stopped or if it's worthless to go on...thanks everyone..

Hey Man! Flowering plants grow best in a relative humidity range of from 55 to 60 percent! If you want to lower your humidity even more so you can either install a larger out let fan or install as you said a dehumidifier! Your best bet is eBay! I have a small dehumidifier in the shed bought from B&Q cost pennyâ??s!

keep a fan running...

I have an oscillating fan that I started leaving on in hopes of air-drying any excess moisture that may be on my flowers...I have my pc fan on the end of my duct still plugged in maybe to remove some of the air as well...tom, you say you got one for cheap, what kind is it?

no heater...

dont listen to that advise, your buds will very susseptible to bud rot in the 55%+ humidity you are experiencing. you want it at 40% during flowering, no higher than 45% .. i suggest upping you exhaust fan cfm, but that will make more noise. not to mention, another $200+ for a bigger fan. if you can afford it, look around on ebay maybe if your short on cash, for a dehumidifier
