Fintasticstarted grow question 5 years ago
Is it normal for humidity to be high when lights off on a 12/12?? Till yesterday it was 80 lights off, 65 lights on. Now I got it to 55 on & 68 off. Plants are 11 weeks, 2 weeks and 3 days into budding. Will humidity up till now spoil the bud? Please please help???

I would say use a dehumidifier if needed, especially if you have a corner you can tuck it in away from plants. I mean I have hydroponics so there is always a risk of too much moisture staying in the tent. I use a oscillating fan in my big tent with a small dehumidifier and an inline duct fan it's overkill. But really I didn't wanna go through all the work of growing it. And have a chance of ruining it with bad air. Umm if you have really good air flow around the buds you might be okay. How big your canopy is and how much space there is and how big your buds get is a factor as well. But really the lower the better. A lot of growers have the theory that a very low humidity before harvest really improves potency.

It is normal but not by that much... Obviously if the soil is wet it will get very humid in there especially when lights are off as its not really evaporating. A few suggestions I have that may help. If you're growing in a tent try opening one or two of the flaps but make sure they are still in darkness. Do you have an exhaust fan, if not you need one and to set it at a higher speed? Maybe try watering less but more often or less but same frequency? Try to increase the temps a bit could help. Also moving the air around with circulating fan will help🌱👍

Hey friend, Yes very normal. My plants always seem to transpire a fair bit at lights off, and even worse if i happen to water late in the day or towards the end of the day. If you have fans keep em on at night, and if you have an exhaust try running it a few hours in the dark cycle to just flush that air out. Something about the drop in temperature seems to send out moisture, i know that isn't overly scientific but it's the truth...it would happen both to my outdoor grow and indoors. Happy growing ✌️

Yes brother it could ruin the bud, With those sort of humidity levels you could be leaving yourself wide open for bud rot, You really need to get those humidity in to the 50% or lower range, If you're using a humidifier can you turn it down? Or you could look at trying to extract more air from the room' I'd try to stay away from de-humidifier as this extracts moisture from the plant rather than the air, Hope this helped anything els just give me a shout bro anytime.
