High Humidity for Autos in Flower

Just a matter.of time at that high RH before you get hit with a mold issue…may not be this run, or the next, but it will happen with RH in the high 60’s after lights out.

Also, once you get PM in a space it can he very difficult to eliminate it…it will have a tendency to pop up again at the first sign of moisture.

2 out of 3 almost ready. 2 Blue Dream autos showing mostly cloudy Trichomes with more amber each day. The Do-Si-Dos is still lagging by at least a cple of weeks.
Buds are solid, only lightly frosted and super aromatic.
High RH experiment near its end in the grow tent. Final results will only tell when curing is complete. But to the eye, everything looks healthy - no issues.

High humidity grow complete. Harvest after 10 weeks of flower. 2 Blue Dream Trichomes cloudy/amber. Do-Si-Dos not as far along. Mostly cloudy/clear. More convenient to go ahead with complete harvest. Buds dense/solid.
Day 2 of drying in tent. 70-75F/56-60%.
Happy with yield.
Thanks to any/all who noticed & offered support/ suggestions! :peace_symbol:

Looks like a nice haul there @Willum congrats! I flipped my 5 ladies in the 4x4 38 days ago, and humidity here at lights out hits in the 80’s. But as long as I have ample air flow in there, they seem fine, no stress, no spots, no mold.

Nice to see your humidity come down for the dry, that’s when you do need it lower, good on you!

Thanks @Spudgunner! Right now the temp & RH in the drying tent are consistent at 73F/58%. I need a dehumidifier to get there, and it seems it’s about the best I can do.
The flower phase was 10 weeks. Temp was typically 77-82F and RH near 60%, rising to 65% at times with light off. I had the tent infiltrated with fans for constant air movement. And like you, I didn’t experience any signs of mold or PM.
I plan on constructing the room my tent is in into a full-on grow room. Hopefully with that change I can manage the environment better. But for this grow - all good, and can’t wait to sample my reward! Thanks again! :peace_symbol:

Be forensic in deep cleaning your interior surfaces, pots and tools before your next grow…I learned the hard way and had to trash my gorgeous Northern Lights big as a fist of a mould covered bud…:broccoli:

Thanks @James68. Next grow will be in different environment, pots, etc. Good advice. Thank you again. :peace_symbol:

Out of the drying tent and into jars. 15oz’s in total from the 3 plants, with the Do-Si-Dos offering up 6.
