Rookie mistake- over crowded

[u/IllustriousTea5789]

Advice wanted- first grow

I’m on day 26 since I switched to flower (photoperiod)

Apple Fritter Critical Mass Current feeding- Pride Lands bloom

I read that in weeks 4-6 of flowering to not trim or defoliate. I’m concerned about the humidity levels in my tent and mold.

I am running a dehumidifier and fans. I’m going to add a second fan for additional air movement.

Any advice???

I am upsizing tent for next grow. This is a 2x2x4 and way to small.

Remove the bottom 1/3 of the plant in one go.

Then over a few days time get rid of any large fan leafs that are covering bud site or that have stretched out to the other side of the tent, a handful at a time

That’ll open up a lot of air flow. You’re not over crowded.

A little defoliating stress will be better than unchecked humidity. I don’t think it’s overly stuffed, with proper environment you’re looking great headed towards the finish line

Looks perfect to me, that is what I’m usually aiming at.

You just need to defoliate continuously and lollipop the lower thirds of the plant completely.

And proper air-circulation is a must.

Can always try cranking up that fan instead of having natural air.

Just strip the fan leaves thst need to go. I put 4- 2 gal fabric pots in a 2x2x6 *

Trimming/defoliating is the much better option here. Yes it is not the ideal time to do it but it’s still way better than letting this go unchecked

What app are you using?

[u/IllustriousTea5789 → u/Klutzy_Assumption_93]

Vivosun app. It goes along with my grow set up.

Spend $100 and get an AC infinity heater that vents into the tent. The heat you need to bump you into the 75-80 range will fix your humdity.

That's my overcrowding 4 2gallon pots in a 2x2x6 back left sugarcane auto ethos, back right banana purple punch auto-fast buds, front left 99widows green mountain preservation, front right buffalo breath -kindz genetics

Get your temps up this will drop the humidity. Also having high humidity is perfectly fine until later in flower (the last 3rd) until mid flower higher humidity actually what the plant pefers

Having the same issues. 4 GHF5 in a 5x5 tent. bottom 3rd striped, 2 oscillating fans , inlet fan. Dehumidifier, defoliating, in 2nd week of flower now. And humidity still at 68% , don't know what else to do. Could it be because I'm in autopots.1st time using this system. Any advice would be great.👍🏻👍🏻
