its at 60 right now, all this wetness happens in the morning when i wake i go and check and there is very minimal dusty white stuff on the top.it looks like ground perlite dust but it isnt perlite

any fan that you have now, have it blow across the soil, to dry it out, if outside the tent rh is lower than inside,then open up the tent. these are immediate thing's you can do.:tiphat:

oi oi there ast..im growing in a cupboard i just put a 2nd fan in just few mins ago... i find i get get it to as low as 49 if i keep my door open a few inches,losing light is better than losing my whole plant.the plant you saw today is fine its the other plant behind it that has the powder on the soil, but its leafs look fine.i have no vent you see so im sort of stuck hmmm :slaps:

ive put some more all mix over the top, left door open a little ,got 2 fans one on the ladies, and the other pointing out toward the open door..hopefully this will do the trick untill i get my humidifier

That can mean your soil is nice and active, which is a very good thing.
