@Star Dog no problem at all man...

Guys i have two options for dehumidifier GHD 2000 and GHD 1200... The GHD 2000 have a capacity of draining 20L of water / day and have a 5L tank... The GHD 1200 have a capacity of draining capacity of 12L and 2.5L tank ... The GHD 2000 costs 600 U$$ and the GHD 1200 costs 450 U$$ which is a huuuuuge difference in terms of Brazilian money ... But i'm afraid of getting the smaller one and have to go 4 times a day to empty the tank ...

Hello, I'm a fairly noob grower and I ran into high humidity in my grow room. I have a grow room in my basement that doesn't have any windows. What I did was rig up an exhaust fan to a duct line that went right out my dryer vent. I just bought a tee and hooked it in. I put some carbon filters in the end of it so any air blowing out would be less noticeable for weed. With the high humidity, I had to get a dehumidifier. That sucks that it costs so much for you. I found a good one on amazon for $160, but I am not sure if you could get it in your country for that. My humidity is now 45% all of the time and my flowers will be done soon. I think if I didn't have that dehumidifier, I would definitely have had bud rot. It's amazing how much better my flowers are growing with nice humidity. The temp in the room is around 74-79 usually. I hope you can get your humidity figured out, you definitely need it much lower for flowering. Good luck to you!

@Star Dog I was growing from seeds... But i think it's not related to genetics because i've grew 3 Phoenix Fire from Solfire Gardens, 2 MR.E S1 from MassMedical, got 4 fems from Peanut Butter N Chocolate and 6 fems from Paradise Circus from Exotic Genetix and they all have no smell, but i have a clone now that i had the chance to smoke it so i know exactly what to expect in the next harvest

@erjohansen That's a lot of water... Two gallons is around 8L, so i must pick the bigger one the one that costs 600 U$$, but hey that's fine i'm struggling for a year to get good weed if i finally get it will solve this "headache"

Yes, it pulls lots of water out of the air here. I'm in Michigan near the lake. The humidity here goes up and down all the time, so I really needed to regulate it, especially during flowering. I was lucky and got my dehumidifier about a week or so into flower, so no bud rot. I just ended up hooking the drain hose to the dehumidifier and letting it drain into a bucket. I know the cost of a dehumidifier is a lot for you, but will be worth it in the end. Mine runs 24/7 and is excellent at dehumidifying the air. Good air flow is a must too, so I open up the grow room during the day time to get extra air flow through the plants.

You've obviously put the effort in I hope you get some tasty bud this time, you deserve a break!

95% isn't good but in early flower its less concerning I think.

Best of luck...

I'm still measuring the RH today it's lower than yesterday, i think it was 95% because i've watered the plants, today it's set at 75% with lights on still pretty high ...

All the dehumidifiers I've seen, even small ones, have an outlet 'hole' which you can connect a tube to and bypass the tank so you can drain straight into a container of your choice.

I'd make sure you've got your oscillating fans working overtime if I were you, you want to see every single leaf on every plant rustle. Any dead spots of air mean mold in such high RH, and once it sets in it will spread fast.

@LifeOnMars Hey man i'm getting the smaller one, indeed it has a outlet hole

Guys another thing that i noticed is that my plants are not sticky... When i rub my fingers on the resin it doesn't sticky my fingers '-'

You're on week 4 and no sticky at all? Seems like it should at least be a little frosty. Mine were very sticky by 4 weeks. Do you have any photos of your plants?

Not sticky, that's an odd one there's plenty of resin it looks like it should be sticky?
Be interested to see if anyone has experienced this.

Do you live in a super humid area? If you are venting your tent properly, the RH shouldn't be nearly that high.

Like the dude said, are you venting or letting water from plant respiration ( plus water coming off growing medium) saturate air, doesn't matter where you live....
