    Yes mate 2 plants in flower. Is it ok to leave it at tht over night or is it going to cause problems. iv now got a cool star shade aswell so when the light comes on its not drying the air as such

    if it stays there it may be ok..I once had humidity of 75% to 80% for weeks and weeks when I used my oxypots..are you doing soil or hydro?

    D.i.y hydro at the moment. I understand that all the water involved helps create humidity. Just didnt think this much.
    Max and min is 69% and 44%. That ok?
    Im hoping that when i start using the wilma it will stop it slightly cause the resevoir is more concealed

    lights dry the air out with their heat hence why its higher at night, you need to keep it under 50% or you can get budrot ive been fighting rot on the last three grows once i got the hr below 50% it slowed down and i hope now it stopped you can cover you pots to stop evaporation and remove any water laying anywhere
    get a dehumidifer only sure way to keep it down, you can get a good secondhand one on ebay for 20 quid they cost 80 or so new for a three L one ,
    i lost a lot of main colas to rot its heart breaking i can promise you dont risk it

    as up2 said on wet days it much higher and in winter its really high

    just seen you using wilma cover the pot with plastic and that will stop some rh

    yeah it should be ok for a small grow.. price is a bit steep for the size but price is nothing when your lovely buds stops from getting budrot

    Cheers lads. Il be looking at purchasing. Not big are they? Havnt got loads of room. Just checked and its 51%. Iv only ever had budrot once on a diesel because the buds wer squashed up the wall due to size of the plant. But iv never had problems with it ever. Until i bought the hygrometer and now cant stop checking lol il sort it..
