I just switched to flowering 4 days ago and my (lights off) temps and humidity are getting me nervous. Ive been able to hold my levels at 73F/65humidity (@ lights off) the last four days. Whats getting me nervous is everything ive read says i should lower my humidity to 40-55 something I don’t think i can accomplish do to my 3x3x6 tent being in a closet. Are these okay figures for flowering or is this adventure already turning me bat shit crazy with worry over nothing. Thanks for the replies.

At that temp/humidity you will likely get bud mold the last few weeks, if not, they will definitely be airy. At this stage I wouldn't be surprised if you get powdery mildew.

Air movement could help if the buds aren't real big, but dehuey is your best bet.

You are running extraction when lights are off ? Keep that extraction going and use circulation fans to keep the moisture moving rather than settling, it's not perfect but reduces the chance or amount of bud rot. You could warm the room when lights are off which would help a lot ! Apart from these things and spending on a dehumidifier I'm out of ideas I think !

yes im running extraction. Thats what has helped some. I guess I’m gonna have to invest in a dehumidifier. I won’t be able to put it in my grow tent would it be affective inside the closet?

I have my dehumidifier next to my tent, I try to keep that rooms door/windows closed as much as possible to control the humidity and temps.

Keystone dehumidifier for the win... if you just switched to flower a week or so ago you dont have any buds so you'll be ok if you have good air movement
