Hey guys just a newb here asking a question that I'm rather concerned about, I live in New Zealand and my buds aren't too far off their harvest time, now my worry is that in New Zealand we get hot temperatures and high humidity E:G 25-30 degrees Celsius would normally result in around 90-100% humidity. These temperatures and humidity levels are almost consistent from one day to the next, my question is; what is the chance of getting bud rott in these conditions. My fears are that the humidity is far too high.

So what do you guys think?

You need to get a dehumidifier, if you can't then get a LOT of air flow going throughout the entire room/through the plants.

Are you growing indoors or out? If you are indoors fans would help but if you out side then there's nothing ya can do. I've never had bud rot but with the humidity that high I would think theres a good chance of rot.

I am currently growing outside as the weather here is really nice in terms of total sunlight hours and great wind speeds, but as I stated the Humidity is terribly high.

The best thing to do is just watch them very closely as the next few weeks progress. If you see any signs of rot pull them down immediately so it doesn't spread. If you do tend to get good wind, then you may be ok. Are the buds growing REALLY tight and dense, or are they some what loose or airy could make all the difference with the air flow.

"Don't worry, Be happy" everytime you start to worry about your plants smoke a bowl. It's out of your hands. Everything's gonna be ok.

This is so true, at many points in my growing career I've had to do the same. Some times you just have to sit back and wait it out. Having a bowl of dank sure makes that easier though.
