humiduty ok at 70 during flowering?

hey , i dont have the cash for a dehumidifier atm and my humidity seems to stay at 70 , i cant open the windows like i normallly do thelast few days cause its been very cold outside and evn atm my temps while the lights on due to how coldit is are like 19 degrees C. i am just going into week 7 of flowering my of my 12 week flower and am rectifying a nitrogen def atm and would like to avoid another problem such as temperature and humidity!

from what i have seen, the plants prefer high humidity, also spider mites hate it. the issues high humidity can bring are powdery mildew and other moulds, these can destroy your harvest. if there is good airflow and you keep your eye on them i'm sure they will be fine.

my humidty is regularly 70+ and i have never had any issues with pm or bud rot.

High humidity is good during veg but it is not good during flowering. Low humidity promotes increased resin production and high humidity decreases resin production. It also causes trichome stalks to be overly long/tall and thin and the heads are easily knocked off when handling plants.

thanks.i openin a window there for an hour to see can i drop it to 60 anyway whilst makin sure my temps dont go below 15 deg max .i turned off the fans in there and it brought up the temp a bit but it aslo pushed up the humidity! thanks for your help!

I am not saying it is the very best thing you can do, but it is something that will help at least some.

I always put two of these in my boat for winter storage and it keeps the humidity low enough that I do not have mildew problems. Different companies make similar products for closets etc.
