Feminized Hempstar - 1st Day Flowering - Humidity WAAAAY Up, Temp Down? Help?!

[mjdragon]

Hello all,

OK a quick question, can anyone help?

My lights went off 2 hours ago for the 1st time after 7 weeks veg, and the humidity has gone up to 85% (from 55%) according to the dial?! Thermometer says 25c/74f (which I know is OK)... it feels neither wet nor warm in the growroom - does anyone know what the problem is? Is it normal?

Would really appreciate some help on this! Thanks in advance.

did you water recently? you do not want your humidity about 50% over that you run the risk of mold growing. i would get a dehumidifyer if i were you.

Hi thanks for the advice.. Yes i watered that night, humidity is running at 55% still, temps around 78-80f..

I've read that de-humidifiers dry the air out TOO much though - is that correct?
