99% RH & High Temps

Been moving hygrometer around & getting similar readings. Day 42 flower & started using RO on its own, pH @68-72. Max daily temps around 33c with rh @ 80% overnight & 58% mid afternoon. Tested a little & very happy! Any tips/input, positive or negative will be appreciated chaps.
Fingers crossed you make it!
As much air flow as possible (not directed at the tops obviously)
Keep a good eye out and examine the buds every day extremely closely. A small patch in the middle of the bud can spread quickly. Look into Peroxide baths (bud washing). Slightest chance of mould and I do that. Saves opening a jar 6 months later and having to throw the lot.

RH is a bietch. I'm at the mercy of recent rain. I'm keeping low temps 73-78 lights off-on, but RH is hitting 75%. My cab is 2x2 inside my garage. All I can do is keep ventilation fan running, over and under canopy fans going. Hoping it's enough.
I'm dumping my dehumidifier 5 times a day right now. By night I get down to about 50% I wake up mid 70% and restart the process of lowering it.

Geez, I'm stuck since the environment is high in humidity outside the cab that I can't control. I'm wondering if I decrease my vent fan to minimum, keep both circular fans going and run a dehumid if thatll slow and control the incoming humid air only at nights out? My humidity is 50% lights on so I'm fine in that regard.

Can only get the humidity down to 88% at night. Dropping to 67% in the day. Max temp 32c+.
Day 111 from seed. 50 in flower. 6 days to starting the chop.
For drying I'm thinking of making the room as 'air tight' as possible, hanging small branches & running the dehu constantly, with a couple of fans moving the air. Any input more than welcome. Dried my tester in the car, in a4 paper.

Sounds like you've got it figured out as well as you can. I scored a cheap air conditioner on Facebook for $25. I threw it in the kitchen window and put a fan blowing to the basement. It only is lowering the temp a few degrees but I dumped the dehumidifier 2 times today instead of 5 to maintain lower 50s. Made a huge difference for me.

FYI- anyone in tent/cab growing space. I picked up a eva dry dehumidifier e333 from Costco. 2 pack for $18.99, covers up to 333 cubic ft. each.

It's dropped my humidity on shitty rainy humid day from 76% to a steady 51%. I just hang it in my 2x2 cab. Reusable, once orange pellets turn green, you plug it in and 12 hours later ready to go again. Package says lasts up to 10 years.

Decided to chop 6 colas off one girl. They looked done to me. Now the lights working on a few that were in the dark.
Also chopped 8 off another girl this morning to try n prevent rot. Drying slowly by just hanging with a warm/cool breeze 24/7. 1st lot on 4th day hanging. Looking at Mason jars in a day or 2....hopefully.
Also been busy removing a lot of leaves, daily, to lessen chances of rot. Cheers!

Hi... All was going well until the cops with guns turned up. Family member thought they'd get paid.... Banged up & deported... Think I'm allowed back tho.... Pastures new & can finally find genuine materials.
Just about to start a 640w led grow, Orange Hill Special, using Foxfarm ferts & own recipe soil.....

If your meter says 99%, you’d have moisture running down your walls.

I think your meter is incorrect.

edit holy old thread sorry glad you’re okay OP

That’s fucked up to have your own family member do that. Pretty sweet to come back three years later with an update though.
