Just thought I’d ask what people prefer. I hear different things.
I’ve been keeping my humidity between 50-77%.

Favorite humidity level for Flowering?

I start at 50 for flower and slowly drop it. I’m 3 weeks in at 46%. It will probably stay there for awhile but ultimately drop to about 40 towards the end. 77% sounds like a number proposed by the lobbying arm of the international society for bud rot.

77% is a shill for Big Humidity...

50%
lmao, mine is usually close to 50% and it does fine, unless this old gauge is broken...

40% when they start to put on any significant weight.

Big Humidity...love it. I just shoot for under 50%-my dehumidifier is a tad small so I'm running it 24/7 and it stays right between 48 and 50. Then I raise it up a bit when drying.

Is there a thread for managing humidity when drying via timer/humidity control? I looked.
Basically I want to make sure the RH is on point without having to pop down there as much. I'm in the PNW so it's always 65-70%-ish.

Agreed. Week 5 or 6 and I'm belly up at the 40RH club

Yea I’ve heard different things. The ladies are only about 2 weeks into flowering and seem to love the higher humidity. I live in AZ so as soon as I turn down the humidifier the RH drops fast. I definitely will begin to try and lower it as time goes on but for now I feel like I have good enough ventilation to run higher humidity. It also does a great job at keeping my temps down. With the humidity I cruise around 75-78F. With it off I’m looking at 79-82F.

43% here. Should I keep it around that you think? My humidifier only has 2 settings. I have to have it on otherwise it’s like 20RH and warmer.

Colorado is dry so i veg and flower at around 30 rh i have tried using a humidifier and haven't noticed a difference. They will adapt to the environment the last 2 weeks of flower i drop it as low as i can to help produce more resin. ( My temps star between 68 to 75 F)

Personally I find the best way to control humidity is by increasing or decreasing the exhaust.

Should be ok but in another 2-3 weeks i would get it closer to 30 and keep your temps down...id cut some of those big fan leaves off that are blocking bud sites as well.

Yea I’m going to be doing a bit of defoliation in the next few days. I have trouble keeping the temps low with the humidifier off :/
Depends on ur temp I tend to follow vpd for flower to , if anything 5% less then what vpd is when ur in flower , if everything else is proper you won’t have any issues roughly 70-74 veg. 60-67 in flower depending on how hot it is never have a problem I do strip em pretty good and have lots of airflow

The strain/strains you are growing has an effect. Some indica dominant plants with thick dense colas may require below 40%rh.
I am usually content with 45% for most strains, anything above 52% late in flowering would send me sideways for sure.

I’m still in early flowering for my auto. My other plant is a bag seed and seems to be flowering a bit so I thought it might hopefully be an auto but it’s not moving nearly as quick as the seed I know is an auto. When I have my humidity around 45-55% my temps stay at about 79 right now. They shoot down to about 75-77 when I have the humidity 70+

I’m also under 24 hour light. I only have the one tent right now so.
