Closet Humidity

[Tomthehippie]

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

sorry man i took that advice from the latest cannabis bible, argue with Jorg Cervantes.

I looked it up in the same book Tom and yes, that's what he said....however on the same page they talk about flowering rh of 40-60% which is quite a difference to me. Which one is it really Jorge?

Mark we talked about the dehumidifiers so the only other thing i can think of would be a fungicide. There must be a nursery somewhere in your town (which is more BFE than where I live.....and that's saying something) You should grab some spray and start using it asap....my hydro guy recommends Serenade but if you can't get that one get ANY one. You need to hold off the budrot, mold etc till you can get your humidity under control.

on reflection yea your right weedhound! we need jorge lol.

Hey man,
You should be able to lower your humidity to an acceptable range for growing just by using a small oscilating fan in the flower area and also having an outgoing air fan / vent. You should not need a dehumidifyer in most cases.

It's very important not only for your plants but also for your home that mold does not get started. If you're smelling it now you could already be in trouble so I'd be looking closely under the carpet or anywhere else mold likes to hide and grow and if you find any you ought to be looking for a different closet while the current one gets gutted and thoroughly cleaned out...ASAP!

Put some plastic sheets on the floor or whatever else you have around to keep moisture from going any further than the surface and mop up any and all residue. Molds and mildue are nothing to mess with and have ruined many homes once allowed to take hold.

Madeline you go girl!!!! :thumbsup:

...and madeline...not really a way for moisture to get beneath the emergency blanket..smell is primarily coming from the buds..and I'm incapable of moving to a different closet, this is about as far as it goes...if I keep having problems that I cannot solve there's about nothing I can do.

weedhound, store here had nothing as far as fungicide..I'm stuck up the creek on this one..

[Markass]

It's hard to determine if my buds have mold on them because of the trichomes, but it's the only place the smell's coming from and without a fungicide and what I know about mold, I don't think this one's gonna make it... I can't believe this..

I really cannot believe it...

fungicide quick. and next time get better ventilation
