Humidity?

I like to keep mine between 35 - 45%. I have had my garden at 60% during veg. w/ no problems though.
This is like asking a women if this dress makes her butt look big lol. Your gonna get a lot of different answers on this one. To some 55-60 in late flower to others as high as you can get it without any mold or pm.
My opinion is b4 we started growing inside I don't think we had dehumidifiers big enough for the great outdoors and our weed turned out ok.
I keep oscillating fans running on mine 24/7 and keep my humidity as high as I can.
Now drying or curing is another story all together.

In veg I like to keep my relative humidity above 50% (upwards of 75% at times), in flower <35%.

Does lowered humidity later in flower increase resin production?
this is accurate. in flower lower rh will help with resin production. Lower rh allows the stomata under the leaves to open larger and release more moisture from the leaves. Meaning the plant will be drawing more water and nutes so yes more juices will be drawn into your buds.
Plus lower rh is good for pm prevention.
I would add that you should make sure your humidity gauge is accurate. I have 3 of them and all three give me different readings. You can check them by doing this: http://exoticpets.about.com/od/herpresources/ss/hygrometer.htm
Some you can calibrate manually but with the cheap ones youll have to just add/subtract in your head.

Will humidity in the 70% - 90% slow growth? In Flower. Weeks 1 - 6.
Mold and PM issues aside. I just want to know if that is what is slowing my current grow (or its other factors).

my room manages to stay around 40-45% RH...sometimes it creeps up to 50 or so but my exhaust system never lets it get above 60....
I'm battling low RH as well. I have a cool mist humi in the room with my cab, but the RH is at least 20% lower in my cab than the room.
Someone here at IC mentioned placing an airstone in a container and covering the airstone with perlite then filling with water. The bubbling is supposed to up the RH.
