I have been looking at two wireless hygro meters and they've been around and under 45% till I found a bit of pm ( powder mildew) so I bought one more meter and put it down underneath the canopy and sure enough the meter now says 48% so its probly at around 50% were im seeing the pm. Can anyone assist me in what to do as I am getting tired of spraying neem oil

I have one in there and it keeps the humidity down outside the canopy. Not sure why its not working inside the canopy

I've been using neem oil for pm for a long time and it's very difficult to control, it keeps coming back. I was told that Potassium carbonate works great and read that milk also works but didn't try them. I'm giving the neem oil the last chance, I'm spraying every 7 days since the plants were small and see if it really works or not.

Also moving the air inside the box is meant to be very important.

Good luck ;)

If the air is not being moved around and through the canopy, the dehumidifier has no chance to control the Humidity in the room. Now that summer is coming here, I can't run my dehumidifier as it generates too much heat which can create new problems.

use a fan to move the air around get an a/c to combat the heat of summer. Since i purchased my dehumidifier the pm has gone away i spray greencure on the pm from muckboots.com. I run my dehumidifier on auto at 30%-40% 24/7 that will get that m it did for me.
