Thanks for the reply bro, I had low humidity at the start was trying to raise it but lately i cant keep it down so I think I might have to buy a dehumidifier because I really don't wanna go through the heartbreak of them getting bud rot again the exaust fan i got was a cheap one off ebay and i the air comin out the end of the ducting is very weak so think I might need to upgrade. @Time

Yeah. My humidity went up as my plants got bigger, which reminds me. A study was done on defoliating/lolipopping canna plants for increased yields and found no difference in yields of defoliated plants vs plants with all their leaves. But, the defoliated grow room had a substantial drop in humidity.

You might want to pluck some leaves. At 80% I think I'd try to get more air moving out, pluck some leaves and get a dehumidifier.

Thanks for the advice man, I will do some defoliating and see how it goes, 3 of them basically done it themselves in early flower they lost pretty much all their fan leaves but it doesn't seem to be setting them back they are still getting bigger and producing thrichomes nicely. I am going to have a look on Amazon see if I can get a dehumidifier, also what size dehumidifier would be sufficient for my 3x3 tent i seen some that can hold 1 litre of water before having to be emptied would that do?

Ideally you want one which runs to waste with a hose and exit somehow from the tent to a bucket/drain.

1 litre - you will be emptying 5 times a day! It will stop when full - so essentially pointless!

I use a 5lt unit in a 0.6x1.2m tent. It runs to an auto drainage system. It keeps me at 35% when outside can be 80-90%.

Before I installed an auto drainage system I exited via a low port in the tent and had a large bucket.

Hey jumper thanks for the advice man, how much would the 5l unit cost roughly because the humidity is not budging there’s a storm here at the moment heavy rain so that could be what’s causing the high humidity do you think I could chop these girls at 8 weeks or would my yield be hurt even more

In all honesty - where I live... go Amazon! Less than 100£ for a 5 lt unit.

The way I work it is 1 plant is worth 1k GBP (3 oz)

Being into my 3rd grow - it is now cheap

Environment is everything!

Nice one bro I’ll have a look on amazon now see if I can find one, and how long do you usually let your autos go bro to be pulling 3oz a plant ? I was really hoping to pull 9 oz off all 7 of these girls but it’s not looking good lol but I would really be happy if I could get to a stage where I was consistently pulling 2-3 oz a plant

Generally my girls are 80-85 days from seed to flush

I grow in coco for ease and consistency.

Mephisto genetics are solid and reliable!

Have you ever tried chopping autos a bit earlier say if all the thrichomes were cloudy would the bud be airy ? I might chop the 2 girls in 10ltr pots around week 8 if they are milky because they are taking up room be lucky to get 3.5 grams off each of those girls they are really small but would be something to smoke on while I wait for the 5 biggest girls to ripen up. I'm going to have a look on mephisto genetics website see what strains they have because as soon as there girls are done 7 or 8 more are going in
