High humidity

[thermite]

I'm currently four weeks into flower with four healthy plants in my grow cupboard. During the day, the temp gets to about 80c at the highest with about 50% humidity. At night it gets down to about 65c but the humidity ramps up to 70% Will this be ok or should I try to get the humidity down? Am I likely to encounter problems?

I would use a dehumidifier to bring down the humidity as there is a good chance you will end up with bud rot, and that is the last thing you want

Yea that is way high. You are asking for mold with levels that high. You want it to be in between 30-35 lower the better in flowering. That is good for vegging though.

Thanks Moz. I've chopped now. Just one plant still growing. No signs of mould anywhere. However, I've been growing with just cfl's so the bud is a little loose. I may have had mould issues if I was growing with hid lighting which I will be next time round. I've cut ventilation holes now and will be extracting air with a carbon filter for the next grow.
