Strains suited to a higher humidity?

i'm planning on growing 4 plants in a growtent.
thing is - my room humidity is already between 50-60% most of the time,
dehumidifiers are out of my budget.

will the constant airflow help keep humidity down?

are their strains more suitable for growing in higher than ideal humidities?

thanks.

sativas or mostly sativa hybrids wont be a dense as many indicas where high humidity can cause mold. sativas have a more open structure to let that air flow through which will help prevent this might want to try c99 as its quicker than most sativas.

pretty much any tropical plant will suit you, although they are difficult to pull off indoors...

50-60 rh isnt that bad, you could do just about anything as long as you have ample air flow.

Try some tropical sativa, those kind of plants are "born" to high humidity and hot climate. However, if you dont have access to such strains you should read what stoney420 posted, you should choose some sativa strain anyway!!!

By the way: I have been hearing that even an sativa that can hold high humidity without mould, will start molding in those tents.... Anyhow, this is your project so you make selection where you gonna grow, but please consider some other option than those tents. They would probably do well when veggin, but when you start to flower those tents will mold it up!!!! (I think)

Just my :2cents: for mold free cannabis...

Keep It Green & Growing But Don´t Forget The Smokin!
Peace Out Growers!

If you have the humidity between 50 or 60 all the time and if it's not too hot or cold, u should be allright. I have the same level of humidity, I can get mold in hot summer because of the humidity in summer is higher(where I live anyway), u can go for something that has not a tight budding structure... a cross of indica and sative should be good...my m-39 is prone to mold in the summer on 30 to 50% of my grow because of the hard bud structure...As long u have good air flow u should be good.(C99, like Stoney420 wrote is a very good choice)

NL, Kodiak Gold, Nebula, Amsterdam Flame, W.Rhino can take it.

But its not that critical as the h20 outside often are at the same level. Just have the air flow.
Peace :wave:
