Hey guys I'm on my first grow about 8-9 weeks in and I'm having a humidity problem a lot of they times it's ok especially with my exhaust fan/filter but there's times that the humidity goes into the 70's and I don't want to get mold, now I'm on a budget so I cant really afford a dehumidifier so is there any budget ways to lower humidity?20180911_105650.jpg
 
What kind of ventilation and exhaust do you have?
I battle humidity daily it feels.
This is what has helped ME.
Put an ac unit in the window this lowers the room temps dropping the humidity
As higher temps mean the air can hold more moisture
I also have my room kinda lined with cardboard and a bucket of rock salt
with these additions i dropped my humidity by 25%
Before i had the WC unit i had a short run of ducting taped to an ac unit in another room to tunnel cold air into the room
 
Seriously. He needs to turn off the HPS and take another picture. It looks like he's got bud rot already.
 
A cheap humidifier should be a part of every growers "budget"
I'm getting one I was just waiting because at first there wasn't enough humidity than it went into flowering and it started to rise and it's been raining here every day and I guess it's been making it humid inside but losing my job affected my budget so that's the main reason I don't have it yet
 
That shit looks fucked up already.
How when it's more than halfway done flowering? I'm not being a dick I just wanted to know why or how they look sick? They have like 3 weeks left and they are autoflower not photo sp they kinda kill theirselves off anyway no matter how good they are getting fed, now this plant is fucked lol but it's still budding so I figured I'll keep it why not20180906_165755.jpg

Thank you for this! I have a 6' fan and charcoal filter and i had a heatwave sp I had to keep the door open so my ac could get to it lol but it looks like I'm just going to have to get a humidifier like I'm kinda strapped but If I can find 1 under 80 I'll be ok but until then I'll try some of these things

Heres with the cob lights turned down, I looked I didn't find any budrot I mean the pistols are turning orange but that's normal with any bud this late into flowering I looked all over I didn't find any budrot but maybe you see something I cant idk20180912_110843.jpg 20180912_110858.jpg

They are cob lights not hps

Whatever, asshat. Fact is they're fucking yellow as hell in color like an HPS is and your buds looked fucking black like they already had bud rot. Like this:

Now that the picture you took is in white light, I can see that it's actually purple, not black.

That was my point.

You can't tell jack shit under colored lighting. ALWAYS post your pictures taken in regular white light.
