better ventilation.
60% is to high when you have big buds cranking but for vegging its fine anything below 45% for flowering though.

my plants are 19 days into flowering, so the buds are not really big
but thanks, I will try to fix that
but is there a different way to do that?

u can have higher humidity at your stage but soon you will need to crank down to 40% so you dont get bud rot. vent it out or use a dehimdifier but beware, the dehumidifier will raise your heat

-Dehumidifier (waste if you ask me)
-Lower the light/s

or as i said better ventilation helps heaps especially combing with them.
I'd be working on bringing it down though it's not to big of a deal, but just the potential of mold/rot isn't worth it and its best jsut to keep it down when you have even the smallest buds

I've had mold problems with 60% + humidity . In the past Ive used a dehumidifier to get it down . Better ventilation like Choo says can also help as well .

my temp is kinda low, but the lamps are close enough. maybe I need to put the ballast into the tent?

Yeh try putting your ballast in there that should help you with bringing the temps up abit and also lowering the humidity, what are your temps anyway? possibly in degrees celcius plz lol

tho i can imagine the ballast increasing it by a few degrees


your plants look nice btw mate

way too cold, needs to be 68 at night and ideally around 76-77 daytime. like choo says, raise your heat and the humidity will lower

Yeh aslong as its not resting on anything combustible. Nd i thought them grow tents where ment to be fire proof? Can't tell if yours is pvc or mylar but the mylar is chemical resistant and is tear resistant, it can withstand temps up to 200 degrees celsius i believe and its also flame and electrical redundant.

your temps are wayyyyy to low, you want that ballast in there for sure! it'll probably solve half your problems hahaha :D

that's how i have mine ;) ( the second one) nd my temp is always around 27 - 31 degrees and its summer right now in west aus where temps can hit 40s+ outside if were unlucky. my humidity sits on 40 - 50% constantly. although iv got air con in my room which is a big bonus (cant get through summer with out it lol)

don't put your ballast in there if you're going to do that, see how it goes for you.
