You would probably need a 6 inch extractor to help control the humidty .
I have had problems with it over the years especially in summer.
Dehumidifiers are your best bet , but they are expensive and noisy.
If you can't install a dehumidifier then I suggest you keep air flow constant in your tent . Mold will only really grow in stagnant humid air . So if you increase the air flow in the tent you should be able to avoid it.
I've flowered in constant 70 percent humidty . But I kept the oscillating fan on them at all times and avoided any problems .

Try putting the "air in" fan further away from your exhaust fan. I imagine your exhaust fan is sucking the air in fans air out, before the air in fans air has had a chance to circulate your in tent, leaving behind the humid warm air. Try organizing your fans so they are at opposite sides or the air in fan is at the bottom, while leaving the exhaust at the top to get the warm and humid air out. I believe 8 inches apart is not ideal, you should have a cross flow effect happening, with the fans as far apart as possible. Hope this helps,.... Organoman.

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions

Flushing with RO Water (EC 0,0) or tap water (EC 0,8)?Hi.
I think, it's 1,5-2 weeks before they are ready to harvest.
Tell me, if you see something else in the pics. :)
I want to flush them now every 2 days with only water.
I have the opportunity of RO Water (EC 0,0).
Should i use the RO water or normal tap water (EC 0,8)?

F44: dozens of gnats stucked on buds & sugar leavesHey,
I noticed dozens of gnats stucked on sugar leaves and buds trichomes/resin... I tried to pick them by hand but there are too many.
I saw articles about bud washing which seems to be a good thing except for higher mold risk.
Would it be the only way to smoke bug free weed?
