FAQ over at overgrow says 50-60%. Mine was 10% so I put a bowl of water in the box with them. I can't imagine mine went up that much and they're flowering just fine so I would guess you're fine as well..

chuck get it up buddy.lol i run about the 70 percent range ... some say that you need low humidity in flower ....but i think you need higher humidity or as much as ya can get without causing mold,,, the only reason ppl are scared of humidity is mold ......so i do this i crank up the humidity and the fans ,,,fans are key with high humidity....the plants breath better with higher humidity,,, this is where the oxygen and co2 combine and make the plant release toxins and the sugars are replaced so matublisum can be burned off ,,,then prosess repeats so my point is this. the more it breaths the better it grows ... so what makes it breath , cool tempsunder 79 80 deg. and humidity... hope it helps .. by the way there is more that takes place just too much to list ..lol

Hey there CYF...I don't know where you're located, but Wal mart has humidifiers starting around $20. That would solve your prob. MG

Hey peeps you're waaaaay off base here. You want low humidity to increase resin production and potency! Try for 35-45% during flower. Too low and the leaves suufer a bit of cracking at around 30% or so. During veg it isn't as low up to 75% is fine. If you want Ed to tell you instead of me I'll call him, lol.

Like what Badmf says Lower in Flower especially with all them indica's ppl got going with those rock hard buds. I wouldn't put a humidifier going towards the plant atleast. Good Luck Jubei

Clearly, the answer is humidity is mostly a non factor in the growroom. Unless you have massive, thick buds and 70% rh or better and are about to harvest, dont worry about it.

I dont believe in over five years I have ever checked RH in my room.

I use a little Hygrometer, I am at around 55% ATM, has gone up as high as 70 when the flower room is full up and on watering days as what runs off on the deck evaporates, but Ive had no mold probs in the grow, only tiny bit Ive had was hangin over new year when it was real cold and damp, but I caught it in time and only lost about a 1/4 OZ.
Here's a question for u. Does any1 know how to read one of thiose min/max thermometers, lol, I cant make sense of the fucker, lol, I think its got scales to show how low below 0 it goes too. I got no idea how to read it, I just upgraded it fom a crappy therm to tell u what the temp is at the time u look, but it dont tell me the extremes does it, so i got this min/max. Any hlp ppl please???

Another point is bugs like higher humidity I believe and lower rh would lessen the chance of bug infestation, IMHO.

...your words sounds very good..and the theory is real...cause the plants can breath very well at higher levels of humidity..(mine are around 50%)
but when the flowering state is advanced i preefer to reduce the levels due to the resins production get more good...(around 40 % or less)
i think act like this cause they respond at the stress of the ambient factors by sprout much resin..probably to protect himself but is tangible(the bud goes more sticky and brilliant)..hope it's clear (my language is elementary) :smile:
