In my basement this time of year my humidity stays at 55-60% and the temps are around 18-21C. Talk about a perfect spot to dry lol, in the winter/spring its so dry i need a humidifier.

I live in the south, USA. The humidity here is horrible, I have to run 2 to 3 humidifiers while drying my buds. It's a constant battle with mold every time. I have been lucky so far, but several people I know have lost crops because of it.

Yeah, that was supposed to be "dehumidifier"Many times and especially in the winter our humidity is really low, makes no difference to the drying process so no idea why some need humidifiers. Organic matter cant dry any faster than the cells allow water to be released

Air exchange should defeat high humidity a lot just like how we defeat mold in grow tents

I have an over abundance of air flow, running air conditioning unit and still it is like breathing water here. I used to live in the North, even in the summer the humidity wasn't that bad, but here in the deep South it is a bitch.Air exchange should defeat high humidity a lot just like how we defeat mold in grow tents

Recently people seem to be using the most complex error prone methods and are clueless to the real art and knowledge of producing bud

I agree with you on that. The plants have been here a lot longer than we have, and did fine without us. I have been growing it for longer than I bet 80% of the people on here have been pissing in the potty. And am learning new things about it every grow.Recently people seem to be using the most complex error prone methods and are clueless to the real art and knowledge of producing bud

It's a battle, I never seen humidity like this anywhere else.
