When do you drop humidity when flowering?

Grow Cycle
1

From what I have read I should be under 40% during flowering. My dehumidifier is on the fritz and cant set % it just stay on which I didn’t want to leave it just running and dropping too low if that is possible. So off to home depot to get a new one. I am on day 11 of flowering and starting to see white hairs popping up all over. I am at 45-49% right now. Can I go a couple more days before dropping the humidity? Going to try and get one tomorrow but might have to wait till Sunday.

Thanks

Personally, I think you’ll be okay a few days. If it were 75%, I’d be more concerned. I try to stay around 30% but it spikes at “night” to around 50%. I need a dehumidifier as well I think.

Thanks @Matthew420! I really didn’t think it would be that bad for a day or two just didn’t want to have any issues. I looked into fixing the one I have and the control panel is what is failing. I found one that cost about 75$ plus shipping which was a I think around 10$. The one I am looking at is a GE and cost about 170$ for 30pint tank. I run one in my basement all summer long so it will get used and not just in the grow room.

If you have good airflow fans and temp control you can flower in higher humidity you just have to be vigil

I run my fan on a timer few hours on few hours off. My grow room is about 10’ x 10’ which is doubling as my office space as well.

why are you running fan on timer? temps? I am talking about a basic desk fan for air movement not exhaust?

I am running on timer just so the fan is not running 24/7 but maybe I should be. It is a 16" oscillating fan. I do have some little fans like 4" I guess I could set up.

If you want to reduce the humidity the simple act of constant air movement will go a long way and while air is not moving moisture builds and pools on and in you buds it’s kinda a must have unless you have very low humidity

cool good to know! I will setup a constant air flow then!
