Hello everyone, last night before going to bed I removed the accumulated water in the dehumidifier and forgot to turn it back on... have spent about 7 hours without dehumidifier while the light was on and the humidity reached 80%.
I'm in the sixth week of flowering and some flowers are nice and big and I don't want to have started the process for botrytis.... Any good men who can help me figure out if I screwed up?
Ps: All flowers are reached by the air
 
All right I will try not to think about it too much.... But you couldn't get it down with the dehumidifier? Because anyway I put it at the maximum dehumidification (35%) but when the lights come on it goes up to 58/55%rh (always with the dehumidifier on 24h) and I don't understand if it is gone the dehumidifier ,which is very good and expensive, or if there is something I am overlooking! One thing is certain--I am not giving too much water.
However unfortunately every time I go above 65%rh I start to see mold...I insist on making big tops instead of distributing the flowers and then if I make a mistake with the humidity I'm screwed.

Air flow air flow air flow.....with humidity so high you need lots and lots of air movement & try venting the dehu out of the space if you can. I made a cardboard duct off my dehu to vent it out of my grow space, it helps lower the moisture as well as lowers the heat.
 
If you happen to have central heat/AC, then you have a whole-house fan at your fingertips.
If you are in a tent, it will be less effective, but it will still help pull moisture out push fresh air in.

I gave up on using a dehumidifier in my grow room (I'm not in a tent) and I just use the house fan or AC to lower RH.
