I live in the desert, where humidity is around 9% during the summer, and I don't own a humidifier. Every time you water your ladies, you are adding a bit of humidity. Overdoing humidity at any stage and you risk mold, but buds are more susceptible.

Keeping temps within a 15 to 20 degree range is preferable. With my outdoors flower shed, I have problems with this twice a year. During the winter, I try to keep the temps between 50 to 70 degrees, during the summer months, I try and keep them between 70 to 90 degrees. Were I just growing inside my house, I'd keep the temps between 60 and 80 degrees.

BOZO: Three responses to this post, and you never answered a question.

Too late. Especially considering the fact this isn't the first time in the past few days, that you've ragged on a member for the assumed offense of not looking the info up.
Now normally, I agree that one should use the search function, but you offer no insight or help beyond that. Just strife, and an implied superiority in your tone.

So...my recommendation is: You keep reading, and when your actual knowlege base is equal to your implied knowlege base, you'll be more qualified and perhaps know how to respond in a less flippant and unhelpful manner. (ie: by then, perhaps your responses will be helpful)
like i said in my last post in this thread, i'm trying to help him understand he can help himself if only he will try.
and i don't pretend to be anything but a rank beginner, i've just read the FAQ's.
of course, i could just blow these posts off and just be selfish and not post ANY answers, just ask simple questions, the answers to which are VERY easy to find
