Ok everyone, I’m new to the grow game. I’m a veteran and started my own grow for my own medical reasons. This isn’t available where I am at and the VA pushes pills. I have a question that’s probably simple for some.
I have a 4×4 as my main flowering. ACINFINITY Complete set ups. I bought this product before I found your show. Great quality I do have to say and great show. I have (2) 2×4 complete set ups as well. I used one for veg and the other will be used for drying or possibly a mother or two.
I am having difficulty in controlling and dropping the humidity in the 4×4 for flowering and 2×4 veg. I guarantee the same problem if I ever make it to drying.
4×4 w\-Upgraded Controller 69 pro- I have a dehumidifier (VIVOSUN because AC didn’t have any available when I bought my set up and figured I would defiantly need one in the future. A dedicated AC portable unit blowing through a 6″ vent tube into the tent. Keeping the temp 72 during flowering when the lights- are on isn’t the problem. , Exhaust fan comes on when the lights are on as well. Two fans moving air inside. Fresh air is pumped in by an inline fan from an AC cooled lung room with filter. With all of this I can’t get the humidity down to 65-62%. Is this a correct humidity range during flowering so I don’t get bud root? Or did I get this wrong from the show?
I live in a very humid location especially in the summer months.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Idk I just take what I can get. Lots of air flow helps me. I’m in a very hot and humid environment. My ac runs 24/7. I’m generally in the 60-70% area. I crank the ac when I’m hanging plants to get it as cold as possible.

I’m in humidity village Louisiana and I get my humidity down to about 50% – 60% inside my tents when it’s 80-90%RH outdoors and I have 3 tents in my backyard shed in a small lung room I built in the shed!

You should be more worried about VPD than low temps. For most of flower 80+ temps are fine. It’s only late stage flower that it becomes more of a concern. Strategic defoliation can be a game changer when you have a tent packed out to the max. Also some strains are much more resistant to mold and disease than others. Lastly like others said above I want a ton of airflow in my grow. If there is a corner where I don’t see at least a very tiny bit of moment in the leaves then I’m going to be concerned.

@Endo-Monte also dehumidifiers are usually not rated with plants dumping gallons of water into the air daily so go big. Plants transpire 97-99% of the water they drink.

@m1ghtym0u3e 1.1 basically the whole way til the last couple weeks. Temps in the mid to high 80s are fine. It’s all about transpiration. Keep em in the butter zone. Healthier plants at higher temps can fend of infections better than sad plants.
