    Im in my 4th week of flower and humidity is still sky high.

    Is it okey for them to wait 2-3 weeks until I buy dehumidifier or they will get bud rot ?

    I get away without a dehumidifier in my 4 plant grown room using an oil rad with a clip on fan does the job keeping the temps/humidity the same as lights on but then again I'm growing autos with lights out only for 4 hours

    Sorry meant to add that what stopped me buying a dehumidifier was that when I went to visit the hydroponic store after getting bud rot clutching a couple of hundred quid to purchase one the store manager pulled me to one side and explained do everything you can not to use one listing a load of reasons why, I forgot most of it but cell walls was one reason so went home and dialled in the radiator
    But many members use them here with no ill effect so I dunno
    Atb fella

    Do everything you can NOW to drop the rh or you'll end up doing this whole grow for nothing. Rot is a proper kick in the balls, mate. Don't leave it too late. In the interim, make sure you have plenty of airflow in your room. It'll help a lot but probably still won't stave off rot if you're 90%+ rh at lights off...

    Increased air flow, dehumidifier, bigger extraction fan or increase your temps at lights off.

    Make a decision and do it right now.

    Unless you do whats been said above, the buds will be sweating on the inside as there is nowhere for the transpiration to go. When ive inspected rotten buds, they are usually dripping wet on the inside.

    The buds need to be dry ( rh sub 40 ) by week 4 as once they fatten, you will be stuffed..
