I have been growing for a while now and have had pretty good turnouts. In the past I have read that during the last stages of flowering the RH doesn't need to be kept up. During veg my Rh was @ 50%. During the first half of flowering it got to @ 30-35%. Now I am struggling to keep it up above 25%. I live in the North and it is really cold dry air. I have read (don't remember where) that the lower you keep you RH during the last stages of flowering the more resin and the tighter the buds. If this is true, then I'll just turn off my humidifiers and keep it @ 16% RH. Any insight on this would be great, the sooner the better. Thanks

itry to keep mine 35% and lower. and yes it will make them denser, plus less chances of molds and mildews that can occure with in the buds
