    Default Will High Humidity in the Greeny deffo result in budrot/mold?

    Eh up peeps am about 3 weeks or so from me first greenhouse grow, humidity is well high in there, tis high outside too at the moment but I am fretting.. the 2 girls now have the whole greeny to themselves, at night I cover with horticultural fleece and in the morning I take it off and the plants themselves are dry.. so my question is will high humidity deffo result in budrot or molds?

    Getting a fan or heater in there is out of the question due to its location, the parafin heaters leave soot residues so dont really want to go down that route.

    If you can't get electricity to it Lucky, then your best bet is to make sure you've got as much ventilation as possible, even if it means taking a pane of glass out.
    Don't use a parafin heater or gas as these kick out lots of moisture as well as fumes, 1 gallon of parafin = 1 gallon of water.

    Stay Lucky mate

    Thanks for the advice TDA mucker.. taking a panel out is okay on nights like this but tis easier to leave the door open LOL.. we get gales here and have had me polycarbonate panels blown right off before, so taking a panel out and waking up in the morning to find me plants exposed and half me greeny flying across the Irish sea tis too much of a worry.. would never sleep LMAO.

    Am more curious to hear if peeps have grown with high humidity with no issues.. as I said they look absolutely gorgeous first thing in the morning.. no damp looking leaves, nothing just a picture of health, tis a fecker, dont want to bring them indoors as the best light is right where they are and have never done an outdoor grow before.. but if lots of peeps say its 100% certain or 98.99% that budrot and mold will visit me girls then it will be a no brainer...

    were in the same boat ashman.. into the unkown, does me nut in but spose we will soon see soon enough.. have about 3 weeks to go and forecast is mostly scorchio for next 10 days.. give or take a rainy day.

    I'm growing in a poly mate and also leave the door open, day and night atm, temps are not usually a problem but I'm in SE England.
    The fact that they're not getting rained on is the big plus, grew 5 last year in the same spot and shitty Sep rain forced me to bring them in to my garage.
    Plenty of ventilation during the day should be fine, if you find any budrot, stick a dampened plastic bag over it, then cut it off, stops the spores from spreading to the rest of the plant.
    Better to lose 10-20% to budrot, than to chop too early mate.
    Stay Lucky

    Thanks fr that TDA, I live South West Wales right on the coast, hence the gales.. this morning when I took the fleece of them, again they looked fantastic, but from what I read the real problems are going to come within the next few weeks, so thanks for the tip, will keep my eyes peeled for sure.

    One observation I have made is how good they look and grow under the great tonka, completely different bag to me 400w lumatek LOL and lot less work they seem to look after themselves more or less.

    Will post a pic of me girls later when I get batteries for me camera, artic suns they are, late October is the given date for outdoors, fingers crossed we get some good weather.. after that it can piss down I dont care LMAO.

    cheers mucker.

    high humidity will not definately lead to budrot or mould...............but it is a major contributing factor.
    if your buds are large and dense it will not help in humid conditions.it is very strain related as well and you should choose a strain that has been shown to be more resistant to rot/mould.
    if you're retired or you ain't got a job and you ain't growing and smoking weed ,i don't know what the fuck you are doing!
