You’ll have to wait and see. Get the rh as low as possible in the flower tent. I mean low like in the 30’s if you can.So I'm on day 43 of flower of my very first grow... The other day (Thursday) my area got a substantial amount of rain and I was extremely busy and didn't get down into the basement to check either of my tents (one flower, one veg with round two started). I got more water in my basement than I've ever gotten before and my power strip got wet and blew the breaker (strip on the floor, won't ever do that again) when I checked my plants yesterday I realized the power was out and got everything going again... Basically the flower tent was up to 90% RH and I'm concerned about bud rot. I've got the RH back to 60 and still dropping, but did what potential damage may have happened in those three days. I downloaded my hygrometer readings today so I know it was three days of no humidity control or lights.
Thank you, trying, today it was 58 when I checked, if I have to I'll get the whole basement down and humidify the veg tentYou’ll have to wait and see. Get the rh as low as possible in the flower tent. I mean low like in the 30’s if you can.
6 weeks in flower. Get it down as low as possible these last few weeks.Tent has been 48-55% RH the entire flower cycle, dehumidifier in tent and one the basement, bought a second for the basement
just to bring it back down asap.
That’s probably what you should do. It will help those buds that were exposed to an rh of 90 for three days. Keep air moving on them too with oscillating fan.Thank you, trying, today it was 58 when I checked, if I have to I'll get the whole basement down and humidify the veg tent
Will do, have two fans in there already, one clip on in the top of the 2x4 and a small oscillating tower fan blowing under the canopy, given first grow and I only got two females so I don't exactly have a dense canopy in the tent. Hopefully I can pull through this, not going to quit even if it fails, but would like to not have my first crop ruined.That’s probably what you should do.

Moving air and a low rh will help mitigate the potential of bud rot. When I flower my plants I keep rh mid 40’s and last 2 - 3 weeks I take it as low as I can. Low 30’s isn’t to low.Will do, have two fans in there already, one clip on in the top of the 2x4 and a small oscillating tower fan blowing under the canopy, given first grow and I only got two females so I don't exactly have a dense canopy in the tent.

Temp is good, hopefully the rh gets to a more acceptable range for late flowering. Keep at it. Don’t think you can do much more than you are.Humidity still higher than I wanted this morning, so I duct taped my intake to the DH, going to monitor temps today to make sure I don't get too hot... my LEDs run fairly cool so I'm only about 78°F with lights on normallyView attachment 1161076
He went three days with no power in tent.Post a picture of your bud Rot. Pictures speak a thousand words.
*edit
How long was the rh 90% and how much airflow do you have? Intake or exhaust?
Oh damn.. yeah that’s probably not good. But I’ll wait for the picture. Easier to see what’s going on with a pic.He went three days with no power in tent.
He hasn’t found any rot yet. Been trying to help him recover from the power failure and mitigate potential for rot to take hold of his grow.Oh damn.. yeah that’s probably not good. But I’ll wait for the picture. Easier to see what’s going on with a pic.
I don't know that I have bud rot, basement flooded slightly and power strip got soaked, tripped a breaker, I wasn't home... RH was 90 when I realized there days after, hygrometer showed when humidity spiked... Trying to prevent bud rot if I canPost a picture of your bud Rot. Pictures speak a thousand words.
