Humidity to high!

[oks226]

Hey all, my dehumidifier went out and I can't afford a new one for about a week.
My humidity in my flower room gets up around 75%-80% at night now. They are only in day 3 of 12/12, so I'm thinking I should be okay for a week, but humidity causes huge problems in flowering that I would like to avoid, anyone have any home-made solutions to lower humidity?? My fans stay on at night, but it is a completely enclosed grow room so they don't help.

my non-expert opinion is that you aren't critical yet when it comes to age. it would be worse if you had flowers on there. but you need to get the humidity as low as you can as soon as you can. i don't know of any cheapy alternatives but hopefully someone will.

what is the humidity outside your house?

what grow medium?

hmmm, what about that moisture absorbing stuff they use with electrical equiptment (i'm stoned and can't think of the name)?

The humidity is really high outside, between 85-90%, I use soil(roots organic)

i don't know that much (or i'd be grow staff) but you'll get some help. there are lots of members who do things the inexpensive way. the grow team is usually around in the evenings.

increase air flow (ventilation) to combat high humidity without a dehumidifier. Another option is a air conditioner. They act as a dehumidifier.
