My Humidity spikes when the lights go off

medidedicated · Sep 28, 2023

I know that feeling, except I really messed up and deserved it as a lesson for future grows, I am just now getting back into it about to harvest my first in a while and it is a little bit but it is something.

Like I said I would pick sma small area to take apart and see. Some have said they think it is air flow some say it is the rh I think it is both. But now there are spores but I have grown with same equipment with minimal sanitation. So far so good.

If the plant is healthy it could be a lucky scenario that you can cut effected areas and finish. otherwise I wouldnt be affraid to chop early. I am considering chopping an auto early due to health of plant and mold risk and being there before.

What kind of dehuey you got, is it appropriately space for the area? You got fans in there or more to add?

I'm going to have to chop them soon. I can't afford for the rest of it to go moldy. It's only a smoke for myself so I'm not worried if it's cut a week or two early. I've cut them at 8 weeks flower before and it's still got me stoned.

I've got a 25 liter dehumidifier and it's usually enough to keep the mold from taking hold but this time the humidity outside is 90% and the dehumidifier is not enough to keep up with it.

I've got three fans running in there but there is spots where there isn't much airflow. Especially against the walls of the tent.

I've cut the moldy bits off the plant so hopefully the rest should be fine?

I'm going to buy an extra dehumidifier for next time and learn my lesson from it.

Up to you, I thought early chops are more about harshness than it is getting high. Maybe it is different if to make wax or bubble hash etc from it but maybe it can still effect end product. I chopped early a few times and it was a bit harsh.

I havent been growing as long as you so I cannot give much advice. That was just about it. Mold I had it spread like wild fire so hence saying I would chop if it is that bad.

I've had a tolerance break so I only smoke 3.5grams per week. There is a lot worse stuff on the streets when I go to dealers. I don't mind if it's harsh it will make me cough harder and I will get more high lol haha. The humidity is nearly 70% right now since the lights have gone off and I just can't risk anymore problems with these humidity spikes. I've cut at 8 weeks before and still got really high from it. It's seeing mold that has freaked me out. The rest of it could be full of mold inside the buds so until I've dried it I'm not going to know how bad it is. I've never had mold before so I don't think it's worth the risk. If I let it go till week 9 or 10 of flower it could get a lot worse.

Spray some h2O2 on the nugs you are checking for mold first. If there is mold in that one, it will keep it from spreading while you dry and cure. Nothing worse than a jar full of fuzz
