Lmfao seems like more work than doing a DIY hood. Me other DIY reducer did the trick bro that was only bit of plastic bottle n tape 
cost me nowt. I’m not set on doing it anyway just thinking it could be a possibility if it doesn’t reduce the RH by just sitting beside it init anyway glad to see your properly back now ya facker had me bit concerned

It will work fine just situated in the same room. Just has to work harder as you have to get the entire room humidity to drop before the cabinet will.
Yeah I’ve been dealing with some stuff mate. Sister in law her cancer has moved into her liver now but I also buried my labourer I had working with me on the roofs on monday. He was only 31 and took his own life. Been a really shitty few weeks for me and struggled coping with it all. Needless to say I used the wrong methods of dealing with these problems

Keep that fan running 24/7 until you get a dehumidifier…

So we done a bit of feng shway today. Dismantled the SCROG net and trimmed down a load of side branching that I actually couldn’t see was there because of it being in the screen got enough for a decent taster test off the GSC.
Came across a beast when I took the screen down
Anyway was contemplating chopping one of my 3 Girl Scout Cracks which is why the following pic is only with 4 plants but long story short I managed to rearrange for a second time and all 5 have gone back in. They’re not ready and to be honest with chopping so many limbs it has left a lot more room between buds.
So yeh the reason for all this was because I had some bud rot show up on my Washing Machine strain on one of the top Cola’s so I was pretty pissed to say the least. After initial rage and a good chat with a close friend I’ve come up with a better idea than running a dehumidifier in the room so am returning the dehume and cutting another hole for a night cycle fan to run quietly as me an the mrs sleep beside the drobe so has to be quiet but anyway haven’t fully solved my night time RH but am confident that removing the screen and trimming down should give me a couple days grace to just get my thoughts together on the plan of action ie what fan I’m getting.
Thanks for reading

Haha SO. Yet another hiccup on this grow came across some rot on the stardawg after having done that switcharoo thinking they’ve got more air flow n shit should do good but didn’t make a difference as 2 days later I found this…
If ya can’t quite make it out it’s all fuzzy cos it’s you guessed it! Bud rot! Woooopie so have gotten sick of trying to fix what I did wrong so I lost my shit and chopped the stardawg. No flush nada.
Am considering just chopping everything now and cutting my losses so I can fix the airflow issues I’m having and just take it on the chin learn my lesson for next round. Haven’t made the straight plunge yet but most likely look again tomorrow and have more bud rot so it’s looking likely at this point

Sorry to hear that man, hopefully they will survive without any more damage.
Our weather here has got warmer, been about 18-20 degrees the last couple of days, I put 4 jars of the Hog I just trimmed up on Saturday into the loft, where I store most of my weed that has dried and needs curing. I had to get it back down again today to check, as it has gotten so warm, good job I did they were pretty hot and sweaty up there, first time I ever had a mason jar lid pop off, from pressure when the ring was removed. Gave them an airing for a couple of hours before jarring again. They wont go back up to cure until it cools down outside again.

Well I chopped that one and I’ve said I know I need to do the upgrades but reset my hygro so will see what levels we get overnight tomorrow. Think the max I want it to be overnight is 80. Figured with this grow if you get into the 90s it spells trouble as I’ve had root rot before which is similar but this shit is chronic like it all feels like a waste of time it’s just a constant oh that’s another bud that’s been affected, give it another week oh look there’s another, give it a few more days you get the point it’s just gradually getting worse but lesson learned man if I chop em early so be it I’ll still get a nice smoke.

I was the same with my autos outside, I couldn’t handle the disappointment every morning of seeing more rot and losing good smoke.
For peace of mind sometimes you have to just give up and chop, then start again with better conditions hopefully.

It doesn’t mate it’s like I do stuff and justify to myself that it’s all good it’ll have the effect I want and then it comes and shafts me again.
Made the decision I’m chopping 2 Girl Scout Cracks and leaving 1 GSC(seeded) and the Washing Machine(seeded) just so I atleast pull the seeds out as planned and maybe finish a couple of plants how I intended them to. But that said if either of the 2 I leave get rot I’ll just chop em cos I’ve faced enough shit with this round as I can handle. All in all only lost a few grams but probably losing more by them not properly finishing so… is what it is and as @oleskool830 says onward through the fog

So just an update on things. RH lights on is running 28-34% lights out don’t know only reset the hygro today but imagine it to be around the 60% mark. Here are the two that remain.
On the left Girl Scout Crack and on the right Washing Machine. The plants are currently on 4ml A and 4ml B, 1.5ml PK13/14, 4ml Boost accelerator, 2ml AN Big Bud per litre. Friday I’ll be stopping the PK boosters and continuing to finish these off so fingers crossed we don’t find anymore rot from now on

They will probably do better with less plants causing higher humidity. Hoping they stay good till the end for you man

That’s the plan man, checked my hygro earlier night time was bit higher than I thought it’d be but still way better than 93%
37% with lights on after watering so it literally doubles. Though I must say I’m not surprised they have a fair bit of flower on there

Yeh it’s not that at the same times bro it’s hot during lights on and high in RH lights off it’s just a cheap hygro that mixes the results

Damn Explorer. Sorry you’re having all the issues. Good luck with these last 2. What kind of fan are you running in the cab?

Easy fella thanks for the well wishes I’m running multiple bro main outtake inline fan is a 5” dual speed RAM fan which I’ve currently got full speed, got a foot tall Hyundai oscillating fan and a 6” RAM clip on desk fan but all run 12 hours on and 12 hours off so on the night cycle there’s no air flow.
Bit of a stupid problem I made for myself really the plants got bigger than I expected them to so RH was stupid high by like 3-4 weeks of flower. However I do have high hopes for the last 2 as night time RH is far less now and it’s given me the breathing room I’ve needed to find a fan silent enough to keep airflow going overnight as with sleeping with it running is near on impossible and I hate spending money to end up spending again do doing my research

Damn that sux bro… hate when shit like that happens… gonna have to just reset and get a new batch going . Hope the last couple make it through

Isn’t like I’m short of goodies thanks to certain people only reason I’ve left the last 2 is for the seeds I have in a couple of lower buds. Smells a lot better in there now so maybe the dirty smell I was getting was from the rot Fingers crossed these last 2 finish ok still need to buy a new fan as mentioned then I’ll be starting some new beans of joy
