70-76what is your temperatures at?
I've read over 55% is horrible and can cause bud rot. Is that not true? You'll change my whole outlook on this lol.in all honesty i don't even use dehumidifier. you can control that with a bit more heat. Just make sure you have proper air circulation and 60% in flower is actually good.
Thank you very much for your reply. Good to know the 55% is bullshit, glad I was informed incorrectly. The airflow is really good, all parts of the plants get good air through them. Shit hot air is exhausted out. I think I'm good them, I'm going to try and continue on without a dehumidifier.I flower at 50-65% depending on the strains reactions. Indicas a bit drier and sativas a bit more humid.
You get PM and bud rot from lack of airflow, reaching the dew point consistently for a few days, low humidity during lights on combined with high humidity during lights off, leaves stacking and causing condensate.
I would say thw biggest cause is lack of airflow, stacking leaves and the temp change at lights out that causes the humidity to spike.
But thw notion that over 55 will cause bud rot is absolutely bullshit. Its not one factor that creates ideal conditions its almost always 2 or more leading to micro climates close to or at dew point which is 100% humidity.
I'm not recommending that you go without... more control is always better. Im just saying it is possible you can go without but now let's say you get 10-15f drop in temp right at lights out.... well depending on the room size the tent is in that may cause you issues right there.Thank you very much for your reply.

I have the 6 in and 4 in also and the 4 is just too small even for my 3x3 tent.. the 6 in does well in my 96x80x48 but actually wish I had the 8 inmy setup is similar to yours. i'm using a cloudline 6 inch exhaust and a cloudline 4 inch for the intake with 2 monkey fans in the tent. both cloudline fans are capable of being programmed and tethered which is a really awesome feature. i'm able to get the humidity down with this setup and am very happy to hear that it's not a necessity to drop RH to 40 as i too was worried about purchasing a dehumidifier.
i will say that i wish i had another 6 inch for the intake fan as i know it would move air better than the 4 , but they were out of them at the store
i'm contemplating getting another 6. most likely will be my next stoned amazon purchaseI

thanks for the heads up. good to knowThe fans weaken after a few months of 24/7 use.
