just the one oscialting fan, but it's a big un. I could turn it off at night, but I'm nervous about humidity and bud rot now too.
Just replaced the batteries in my weather station and the humidty is at 70%. I could turn my heater up a bit and also turn my idle fan speed up too....that might help keep the pressure up and everything going through the filter. I'll have a fiddle with the idle settings tomorrow and see if that helps.
In the mean time, I'm looking for a dehumidifier now too. Fuck 70%!!!

thinking of something like this.....but I'm not sure if 250ml a day is good enough. I don't want it to not be up to the job. Then have to get another one. But it has to be small as I don't have much space.

youll be emptying it every day, but if your in there every day then who cares i guess?!
dehumidifiers are excellent for swelling crystals in the last few days of flushing

yeah, I don't mind emptying it every day. That's not a problem and it has a 500ml capacity and auto shut off, so it'll be safe at least. I don't have the room for anything bigger really, so reckon I'll pop out to argos today sometime and pick one up. They have one for 44 quid.youll be emptying it every day, but if your in there every day then who cares i guess?!

Never had to use one before. But I'm not taking any chances. And anything that helps with swelling crystals....i like!
Cheers don!

i know mate, tell me about it. 74% now!!! Not happy about that at all! Just been out over lunch to pick up my dehumidfier. Running it on my desk at the moment to test it out. I think it's going to help, whether it will get me down to 40-50% remains to be seen. We will know tomorrow.70% RH is no good for late in flowering.
Get what you can dude to reduce that.
Keeping a grow like yours Snowy healthy, is worth what ever it takes

Have you got any heating in there for the "night"? last winter (my 1st grow) my humidity was really high too 75% at one point and the heater got it down to 45/50% plus i have my extraction on 24/7 at full blast coz i haven't got a climate control unit thingy. Like Mammath said whatever it takes i'd hate to see anything go wrong with your grow, its a beauty. Budrot is a bitch

yeah man, I have a little oil filled radiator that I run on very low during the day (lights off) and my room is always 19-20 deg C.....but 71% RH at the moment. It was 60 ish (lights off) last time my hygrometer worked, then I got new batteries and it's 70...I shit myself. Especially after your small budrot problems. The weather is more humid now too which won't be helping as my intake ducting goes directly outside.
Tomorrow I'm going to put my little dehumidifier in place, turn up the heat on my radiator and also increase my idle fan speeds so there is more air flow when lights are off. Then I'll monitor the RH throughout the day and see how it helps. If the radiator is running hotter, then the climate controller should run the fans higher to cool it, so I reckon that will help a fair bit. If I can get it down to 50 I'd be much happier. 40-45.....I'd be surprised, but VERY happy. But we'll see.

My little dehumidifier is in place now....
As mentioned yesterday, I also increased my min idle fan speed and set my heater up a notch. will let you know how it all works later. Lights off at 9am.
Friday pics.....7 weeks 12/12......
They were dry after Tuesday's flushing.....so I've hit them up with their first dose of Top Shooter today. I followed the instructions acuratley and EC'd 10L of my base nutes to 1.2, then added 5ml of Top Shooter, mixed in warm water and all that. If you're interested, the EC went up to 1.5. Next week the dose goes up to 10ml, so I guess that will be around 1.8EC. One to two weeks of that, depending on how they mature, then it will be flush time.
I also sorted out my smell problem. I've got more ona blocks on order, but in the meantime I got one of them nutradol block things from the supermarket. I placed it in my intake ducting yesterday and inside my room doesn't even smell of ganga anymore, it just smells of this nutradol stuff....so I'm happy. The mrs has yet to complain again, so hopefully she'll be happy too and that's the main thing.
If my humidity stays in check today during lights off, I will be a very happy boy indeed!! Fingers crossed!!!
Happy Friday!

Thanks Don....I'm just really wanting them to be done now. They are just teasing me! 3 more weeks. (talking to self......Come on man....you can do it!!)
hahahah, yeah buddy. I'd have ganga pot pourri all over the house if I could. Or just grow a plant in every room....LOL....Love the smell. But of course it's a stealth issue more than anything. My mrs likes the smell of hash but hates the smell of skunk....I can't figure it out. How can anyone not like the smell of stinky skunk!

yeah, 3 weeks till chop, give or take. I'll be smoking them before they are cured though man. Needs must I'm afraid. I'm going to smoke the lower buds/popcorn off each branch as soon as they're dry. The proper fully swollen and fat buds, will not be touched until at least 3 weeks curing. I really want to take a sample now...but I'm staying strong....and generally quite sober! damn it!!!!
I wish she meant proper hash....alas, we are talking kaky soap bar here!! It's a good job she doesn't smoke anymore to be honest........smoking that shite!!!
Temp still 23.....RH went up to 58%, now it's at 57%, think I'm sorted on that front now too. I'm in a much better mood about it all today!

I don't need any encouragement Don mate.....LOL....but seriously, gonna go 8 weeks! One more week and I'll take a cheeky sample or two. There might even be a lower branch I can take off one of my SSH that's not getting much light. Probably should of trimed it weeks ago, but it'll do nicely for an early taster.

In the mean time, I have a bit of gold seal to smoke. Got a half for 60 quid to keep me going. It's not the best, but it's ok and better than the 8th of soap I was offered for 15 quid! 15 quid for an 8th of soap! F*ck off!! But if bars are going for 650...then I guess that's why.
Still not gone above 57%......sorted!!
