Entering Week 5 for flowering. Humidity question.

Hello all, my ladies are now entering the first day in week 5 of their budding process with the humidity levels being 57% high and 50% low. I understand that in budding you want to bring it lower to around 30%, but I was wondering how much time do I have to bring the humidity levels down, and if I don't, how long will it take for the consequences to show up?

Just a thought and only a thought..... but maybe you will be ok as long as you try to keep the Rh as low as possible.
Maybe exhaust and bring in more air if the ambient air outside your cab has a lower Rh.
Make sure you have good air movement in the cab blowing over your girls.
I know this dont answer your specific questions but might help.
Good luck

Don't knock yourself out trying to lower it. The significance is really that if you harvest after buds have been in low humidity, drying will be easier and faster. But you harvest when buds contain more moisture, you have to do your drying correctly and then cure correctly to make sure you don't get bud mold.

imo, your humidity is too high for week 5 of flowering. your taking a chance on getting mold and mildew as your flowers fatten up and hold more moisture. i like it about 35-40rh. also, are you taking rh readings at nite? your humidity will rise as temperatures decrease so its very important to monitor at nite as well as daytime. hope this helps

I have a 3x3 grow tent and yesterday night was the first time the humidity reached 60% in the tent. Low 50% high 60%. The exhaust in expelling into the same room, not outside. The dehumidifier is an option, but do you guys think I can manage? I don't have the funds for the dehumidifier yet so I gotta find make shift ways to lower :/
