SO i about 5 weeks into flowering and i cant get the humidity down past 50 after i water..i have noticed a mildewy smell, im worried about mold..
I have been leaving the zippers open after the lights come on...and last night it was at 56 when i they woke up..after i opened the zipper it only went down to 53... What can i do to keep the humidity down? Ive looked into dehumidifiers but thats way to expensive for me to justify? $250.00 ouch...

since i have to wait to get my little dehumidifier in the mail. I had to find a quick solution to my problem... so i went looking around online, i ran across this product...Hunted it down at HD in the paint section...
 so in the last 24hs, my G-room went from 58 humidity to 47. I dont like the flowery smell that comes from DampRid but it will have to do for now. Just thought id share that...Hope it helps someone. can i get Some feedback Please!

What is the RH outside of your room? Do you have a fan running at all times? Not just the exhaust fan but an oscilating type fan? If your RH outside the room is the same it will be very tough to drop the RH inside the room with a dehumidifyer.

It is about 10% less outside where i draw air from... thanks for being helpful screwnuts. I was more trying to see if that damp rid product had any kind of toxic effects as i thought that could help bring it down 3-5%

a real dehumidifier is the only way to go...I keep my RH at 50-55% and it collects 1.5 gallons daily.
