important question about humidity + mould.

I have three plants that are one week into flowering. They spend the mornings under cfls in the grow room from 7-9, then between 9-5 they are usually out on the screened porch where they get excellent sunlight, then back in the grow room 'til lights out.

The grow room itself connects to a large empty room which I have sealed off all the light from so I open the doors of the grow room to allow air to circulate.

I do not have regulated airflow in this room so there is no way to expel the humid air. I have a dehumidifier but it only drops the humidity 8 to 10 points tops. The humidity is usually in the lower 60s, today it was it's highest, 67.

I have three fans blowing, 2 oscilating and one small stationary to keep the plants moving and the air really circulating to reduce the chance of mould, and like I said the doors are open to a very large room. All of this aside am I taking a huge risk here? Is there anything else I can do to reduce the chances of mould? I'm really broke and can't afford the typical set up that would make this super safe.

It sounds like you have quite a bit of airflow, which is key, since you can't reduce the humidity any further. Keep lots of air circulating around the pots and plants, and you should be just fine. :)

Great advice +REP As long as those fans are humming along, the grow should be ok. I suspect grower is in England? That is horrendous humidity...

I'm actually in florida and it's been really balmy lately. I have one fan per plant so I think these ladies should be A-Ok. Thanks.
