Sulphur burner or dehumidifier for mold prevention?

[MedUser420]

I am having serious problems with gray mold. Should I get a sulphur burner or dehumidifier?

I think the problem might be during the lights out period. When the lights are out I have the AC and the fans off. Even though I live in the desert, the humidity might be too high during the dark period.

Would leaving the AC and fan on during dark period help?

Are fungus gnats carriers for gray mold? I am just now getting my fungus gnat population down.

When lights are on my temps are 78-86 and I have 2 fans and an ac on so my ventilation is good. Although the plants are packed in tight.

Thanks in advance!!!

Unless you want your buds to taste like match heads you cant sulfur that much into flowering. Less humidity will keep away mold faster than sulfur treatments of a damp humid area. You still are better off finding the source of the mold and bleaching the F out of it. Then get a dehumidifyer.

Sterilize the filters and vents on the ac.

Verite- could the fungus gnats be the source of gray mold?

Unclean warm and humid conditions are the root of mold. Bugs is bugs.

I'd let the AC and fans run during lights off. As the temperature drops, the RH will rise since the cooler air can't handle as much moisture as the warmer air.

Verite is dead on about the mold...get the moisture out of there (via AC or dehumidifier) and spray the plants with a fungicide and clean the shit out of that room. Molds can quickly devastate a crop, so get rid of it ASAP.

the sulfur will smell and cause eye and skin irritation

I vote dehumidifier. I hate sulphur..but thats just my opinion.More resin production with low humidity and of course less or no pm.
