Humidity problems, I need some help

L.AzyStoner420 · Jan 25, 2022

Hi, I have a little moisture problem that is driving me nuts. Some time ago I had problems with bud rot in the densest buds and I tried to get around the problem by buying a good dehumidifier but it seems that as soon as I get to mid bloom it can't do much anymore... basically if I keep the grow box closed the humidity starts to rise dramatically and only twice has it reached 65% and then the rest of the time it stays between 50/57%. By now I've opened a crack where I put the dehumidifier in front and it's doing its job keeping everything between 38/47% but I'm afraid the damage could be already done... I have one that is super dense and the main top was practically stuck to the wall for a day while the humidity conditions were not quite right, I wasn't home, and so far I don't see anything except for a few pistils that died but seem to have resumed their normal growth but unfortunately I'm "burned" since one of my most beautiful tops inside was practically a single block of mold. I have 2 fans on the tops, one in the middle of the four plants pointing up and a large fan pointed at the wall moving air behind the last few plants. Thanks in advance guys

need better airflow, its not the rh. those clip fans are too weak when plants are this large. Looks like you're in a 3x3?

need oscillating fans above and below canopy

Eh I know you're absolutely right but unfortunately I burned 2 large, swinging ones.
Do you think if I put one swinging and leave the other two where they are now I could fix it? At the moment every top is reached by the fans and as I wrote above I have one placed in the center of the 4 plants pointing upwards and a large fan with the plant that I disassembled and put at the maximum pointing the wall, the flow was far too powerful, which moves the air behind ... Or I have a nice oscillating tower fan but I can only put it on one side and it would cover both below and above at the same time.. might be the best solution? Thank you for the sleeve you are giving me brother and by the way yes it is a 3×3 (120×120)

Bruh how many fans total it sounds like 4? if so 4 is good. Cant tell by the picture for sure but it looks fine..if you dont think it looks fine chop the bad part off and take it as a L and by L i mean Learn from your mistakes hehe.

You understand the concept, thats the most important part. I trust you can make the best decision with the tools at hand.

ideally we have enough airflow so all the leaves are "fluttering" or showing signs of movement. even if slightly, when the leaves are moving the airflow is good. we dont want to see leaves that are still and not moving at all. hang in there

Ahahahah thank you brother for the trust you are putting in me! I will try to do the best I can. Anyway yesterday I introduced the fan but I think the ones closest to me will be burned by the wind before long! Now I post two videos and show you and tell me if I'm right.
In the second video I focus on the leaves closest to the fan...tell me if I should give a crap and pull to the end like this or if it could really be a problem...I definitely don't want them to stop now to continue their life cycle because of some stupid stress

I checked and it looks fine...the top keeps swelling. However I for safety added a tower fan as you can see in the video! You can also see the fans I mentioned

dig it. is it perfect? no, but it doesnt need to be, this will work. the last 13 seconds of the video shows you have the air moving properly in there now.

ok to remove the fan at the bottom in the middle facing straight up. you have enough airflow down their with that oscillating fan on the right and the other one on the left

nice work

Last night I fixed it again and in addition to removing the fan in the center, I found a feature in the tower fan that allows you to set it to "natural breeze" mode. Basically the jet every 6 seconds can increase, decrease and every 12 seconds it alternates power facing either just right or just left so every 12 seconds the plants are with a much gentler breeze in an alternating fashion and then it comes back like the video! Last night I was already starting to see signs of wind burn like hooked leaves, bronze colored spots and some were even with dry edges! Rightly so only those that were practically raped by the violence of the air.
Thank you brother, you have been really helpful to me

I have Tower Fans and have Vent Hose going into my Tent drawing air out with my Inline Fan.
