Hi, so I am on my first grow and have had multiple problems but that's part of the experience right? I built a stealth double stacked Rubbermaid micro,as shown here... https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=100698 I built a scrog and am using what I will call a hempy trough. my temps are low to mid 70's but my humidity is run around 60ish... today I found the start of PM,and after some research and weighing my options I have decided it would be best for me to start over and try again.I b run 100% perlite in my hempy and believe this is a big factor in my humidity problems.My question is how do you control humidity in a micro system and if I switched over to a DWC would this help due to the fact that my water would be more contained and therefore keeping my humidity more in check??? or are there other options I should explore? Thx for your time....

if you spray once in veg bro then you will be covered for when you flower them
My best advice is get the air moving. I could'nt create a massive blower system so a found an alternative. One Christmas I got a smokeless ashtray. Never used it, until I put it inside my cabinet. It has a small fan and runs fairly quietly. Humidity problem vanished. With the plants & CFL's it gets hot and damp inside. Running the ashtray blower for a while daily created enough movement to work.

I run a redgreenery modified setup, a low tech version of what you described above, https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=31605
I found early on that I had to add PC fans inside the grow area to keep the air moving and fresh inside the box. Also, my setup is in a semi-finished basement, and deal with high ambient humidity. I had to solve that problem by adding a dehumidifier to the basement.
Good luck.
