My arch enemy humidity..

so I'm on my second grow now and after months and months of reading forums and watching how to's. I've got everything dialed in but my RH! :-?

I am running 2 4'x8' tents

1 tent = 1-600w HPS 1-1000w and an 8" fan filter combo

2nd tent = 2 - 4' 8 lamp T5 with 6" fan filter combo

My RH constantly sits between 50% and 65% so I've been battling to get my Powdery white issue under control.

Any help is appreciated!

Have a great day!

get a portable ac unit problem solved or a dehumidifier .there are no other ways to combat the issue. also you have to run your fans 24/7 or vent the air out side of the tents hoping the out side air is less humid

fans running 24/7 helps prevent that power mold a lot . for now give them a neem oil spray . yes adding more humidity to prevent it .but if you don't do one of the 3 I posted above shut your grow down its not safe to smoke your buds if its not taken care of now. yes once you get the problem under control they will be safe the mold will dye . I am talking a mild case of mildew on the fan leaves if you have it all over the buds there may be a serious problem post a pic . if its late flower I would throw it all away .

Thanks Bryan for the input I really appreciate it. It's a very small issue right now I've been treating it with Mildew Cure and it's kept it under control for the most part. At this point I would say its present on 3 or 4 leaves in very small amounts. I am really hoping to find a permanent souloution and will definitely be adding fans like you suggest! Thanks again!

My humidity is high, between 70-80 and never had pm. I do run a shit ton of fans though. 3 16" oscillating fans that never shut off. Problem is the dehumidifier cranks so much damn heat and the Ac runs constant keeping up with its heat
