I'm going to get straight to the point

It's My third summer -in a row- growing outdoors this sweet as s plant.

I haven't harvested yet. NOT KIDDING. 1st grow was found. 2nd Grow Fungus Spread

So far this summer is going perfect. Plants look great. I LST'd most plants and did a small Scrogg on 8 plants.

But I dont want what happened last summer/fall to happen again this year

My question:
When the Temperature Drops in September around this time and the Humidity levels stay high [well above 80%] at night, How can I prevent Rust or Any fungus from attacking my crop.

I understand good air movement is important- so this summer I picked a spot that is very open and fresh air is constantly breaking through-----

However the last week I've been going out early in the morning-on a hunch- that I would find morning DEW on my plants and sure enough I was right. Ive been out everyone morning shaking all the plants to remove as much moisture as I can from the bud sites. SOMETIMES getting up at early as 5 am. Is this something I need to do? It's getting really exhausting going out there. fuck. I'm getting really frustrated. I NEED any advice-anything would help before it's to late!!!!!

Would you suggest getting a fan? But will a fan blow more moisture on the plants?

Is it literally impossible to grow on the east coast????

Morning dew is fine,if your in mid Atlantic and north you will have it,more north more ya go.key is morning sun to burn the dew off.and use some serenade or garden mold spray if your humidity remains at those levels.

During the day humidity level is fine. 30-45 % but around 7:30 It starts to raise. By midnight it's 60% and by 4-5 it's 75%

I bought a dehumidifier and going to run it on a controlled Hydrofarm timer. Set it and forget it. I'm sure the machine will produce heat itself. Any suggestions on how to handle this?
