**skylerbritt12** · 02-26-2007, 09:33 PM

ok so while im harvesting i have a humidifier on low keeping the humidity up and also have a fan blowing out the air in the room. is the humidifier good while harvesting? oh and i have a 70 watt hps flood above it and a flourescent fixture standing vertically to light the side of the plant as well. both on timers at 12 on 12 off. good idea?

HI SKY

NO, it is not good to have a humidifier on... unless ou wan your buds to get moldy?

After you harvest your plants you do ot need nor should have the lights on THEM..

taper off the humidity while flowering. no lights at all the last 36 hours before harvest. read more.

so my mistake the plant is 8 weeks into flowering i havent cut it yet and today i just purchase a thermo/humidity meter and plant on keeping the humidity around 55-60 and the temp from 70-80. any thoughts? i have an exhaust fan runnning witht he humdifier fan.

you may will need that exhaust vent but not the humidifier, i actually have to use a dehumidifier in my grow to prevent molt to start.

what you want is < 30% humidity

what u want is 40-50% humidiy for the best taste and a 5-7 day drying time is normally best i find then cure in jars it will get the smell back as well if it looses the smell

so u think that 20% relative humidity is too low when hanging to dry ???

what about having a relative humidity 0f around 20% when curing inside of the jar ???

with TEMPS at around 60 degrees ...
