    Everything is dependent upon your strain and your environment, but you do not want to be above 60% humidity when you get into flower. You may be able to look up whatever it is you're growing on the breeder's site and find out whether they're resistant to mold or not, a lot of times they'll tell you that for outdoor growing.

    how long can flowering plants take before they start showing signs of bud rot/ mildew isit a matter of days ,hours etc?

    It varies. The less the plants have been stressed, the lower the chance of mould. I've had the reflector too low sometimes and there would be heat damage. Almost always, there was mould on that part of the plant later.

    I have a pragmatic attitude wrt mould. It happens and it's part of growing. I don't have much choice in that because my cellar is 80%RH. What I care about is how much didn't have mould. I'll take 20 good + 1 mouldy over 19 and no mould. I've done many cellar grows and I still don't know exactly what does or doesn't cause/prevent mould in high humidity. I've had some decent yields with zero mould. Everything the same next grow and there was mould.

    My losses to mould went down when my son starting helping me. He can identify mould inside a cola before it's visible. He taps every cola with his fingernail, like checking a wine glass for cracks. When a cola feels wrong to him, he gently prises it apart and snips out a teeny bit of mould. I'm getting better at that but the internal mould I discover won't be that teeny. Still better than waiting until it is visible.

    Is the dehumidifier located next to the intake? I used to have mine set up so that all air that came into the tent had to go via the dehumidifier

    Similar to my readings ..just over fan and exchange air as fast as you can ..works for me with very little collateral ,plenty of air movement in groom also and all tho not ideal unless your gona throw real money at the issue it's part and parcel ...
