is my humidity to high for flowering

hi all i switched to hps as sme of ye already know about since the switch i struggle to keep my humidity down its staying at 70-71 why is this as i have a 5" sucking air out and have a 4" blowing in(not the hole) and even when it is on it seems not to be doing anything can anyone help me on this as its recking my HEAD

yea man that would probably be too high of a humidity, your buds might start to mold or rot--and that would majorly suck

i heard that calcium chloride is a decent and easy way to lower humidity, it's supposed to absorb the water from the air (i havent tried this so i'm not 100% positive on this)--i just hang it up in plastic bags in the room, and i think you'll start to see the water it absorbs forming at the bottom of the bag

cheers zeebuds but abit confused sorry you dont use calcium chloride or you do?? or do you just hang plastic bags in tent

yes... that's too high. Are you getting a real supply of fresh air? How far away are the air inputs and outputs? If they're not significantly separated your just recirculating humid air. Also, if you are taking your readings right at soil line... that may be misleading.

i have never used it, but i have a buddy that did that once and appearently it worked

..just get another source to tell you the same cuz i'm not totally positive that it'll work and i dont wanna ruin what you got goin ahha

hi im still struggling to get my humdidity down in my grow room can i use my inline as a extra exchaust to see will it bring down

My problems a little different but similiar still,
its shit hot humid where i live and bud rot is my enemy,,,
Last 3-4 weeks of flowering i bring my plants in at night and put em in a room with a dehumidifier,,,works a treat....

possible last resort..dehumidifier,,,i grow mainly outside,so im not a specialist on this by any means..
