First dry HUMIDITY got up to 90%

still_mikigan · Aug 20, 2020

I'm ending for first grow and this is day one of drying. My humidity was at 46% and I read that I need it at 50-55% so i hooked up my humidifier and cut it to the lowest setting and the humidity was at 91%. I immediately unplugged the humidifier. the walls of my tent were wet. AM I SCREWED? Again this is my first grow and i'm nervous.

Thanks

Yikes, sounds like @Dizzy88 had good practical advice for this batch. In the future, the best way to control the environment is by monitoring Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) which is based on temperature and humidity (here is a calculator). Each grower's VPD is their "secret sauce" for optimal growth.

VPD changes depending on your plants' stage of growth. Here are some guidelines:

Cloning: approx 0.8kPa
Vegetaive: approx: 1.1 kPa
Flower: approx 1.6 kPa

If your humidity and temperature are low, your VPD will be low, as you increase temperature and/or humidity your VPD increases. There is nothing wrong with a humidity of 46% as long as your temperature is also low enough.

You need a controller to turn it on and off. Just need to make sure if it's electronic on/off it has auto restart if the power is turned off from the socket.
