will LOW humidity hurt a plant?
Well, not to cause any rift, I'd defer to Stinky's knowledge.
Do I recommend this to those with better finances, that can afford the equipment to coddle their ladies? No...but I am saying you can still make it work with a bit of extra effort. I do stand by my post.
I've been forced to do what I do by necessity, and have found that, thru trial and error, low ambient humidity and infrequent misting during flower keeps my ladies from heat damage and mold. When misting or foliar feeding, the water drops act like little magnifying glasses, burning the leaf tissue. (which is why I only mist the lower sections of the plants)
The below pix is link I posted from 2005 on another site, when I lived in Vegas. 100 to 110 degrees daily in the garage (where the flower room was, late spring temps) no a/c, and misting only once or twice a week, if that. 3 gallon pots, in soil, and I believe it was 37 grams average for the topped (shorter, 2 cola's) and 43 grams average for the un-topped. (single cola) Pix are in the link below. I can't really say what the yeild is on my spring/fall grows, as I don't have a scale any more. I truly see that it takes a bit longer to finish, but yeild seems approx. the same.
Keep in mind, too...this is a 80% indica x 20% sativa mix. (ReeferMan's R&D #1 med. strain) Big, wide leaves. My Potent Purple and Swazi strains (both sativas) grow even better under warmer conditions. Don't know if it's the narrower leaf structure, the genetics, or both, but they handle the heat very well.
Anyway, below is the picture and the original grow report link.
