Last 10 days of flowering and it starts to rain outside!! HUMIDITY Help Please.

Hi all,

1x1x2m tent
400w lighting
5" fan/carbon filter
Hydroponic ebb/flow system
4 x plants

I have been merrily keeping the humidity at a nice 38-42% with a temp around 25 degrees.

A few days ago it started to rain and it is forecast rain for the next week. My humidity has shot up to 50-55% and i'm entering the last 10 days.

I am really worried this is going to wreck my crop. I have zero cash to buy a dehumidifier.

Anyone have any ideas of cheap solutions? I have tried putting bowls of perlite in there, but it was only a slight improvement (1%)



Thanks in advance

Is the rest of your house/apt air conditioned that you can push some of that air to another room? Other than that just keep the air moving. 50-55 is not that bad, really. How much longer are you thinking on your plants? They look good.

My extraction fan is hooked up to a vent leading to outside the house, so all air is taken out anyway

I am thinking 8-12 days until harvest.

I would think you'd be ok, just keep air flow moving. Had a grow with a friend and RH was about 65 during flowering but we had fans blowing and they turned out fine. Good luck!

2 weeks won't hurt anything, just keep the air moving like BarnBuster states.

My room is almost always over 50. Frequently over 60 and i dont have problems. I prune the low stuff and have 3 fans circulating. Your genetics will also play a large factor. Super dense indo buds tend to mold easier.
