Greetings & love everyone !

simple question here; are there any strains which can handle very high relative humidity (like 80-90%) during flowering ?

Sam the Skunkmans mix seeds and KC Brains Leda Uno did very well for me with high humidity in a greenhouse.

80/90% of humidity is very high, you risk some problem with mold. You can grow strains with very airy bud, such as tropical sativa with short flowering time, for example power plant.
Good luck

I think the most important thing to do when looking for seeds with needs like this is find a grower/breeder who is already making seeds in conditions similar to what your conditions are.

Thats why I think KC Brains and Sam the Skunkmans seeds did so well for me but Chimeras seeds didnt. (I could be way off)

Kc brain is an excellent seedsbank, be cause their strains are made for outdoor and the seeds making is made only in outdoor. You can grow also the purpurea strain, it's good for swiss climate

Nice greenhouse you got there ! Thanks for the tips :)

Power Plant ? Is it not a rather thick-budded strain ?

I don't think it matters, if it's 80-90% humidity all the time, you are gonna have mold. Is this indoor or outdoor?

Well, it's not about me, some friends have moved to a new place and only space where they can put their grow tent is in the cellar, where is also the washing machine...
Plus, lacking experience they forgot to shift from MH to HPS when going to 12/12, so now they have nearly 2 cubic meters densely PACKED with 12 Kushes gone totally wild. Sound like a total disaster in the making, I think it's wiser to chop down everything, move the tent elsewhere and start again...

Irie !

go for sativas, having fluffy buds and not much leaves will help, also some sativas gentics came from tropical places with lots of rain or rainy season, think Colombia, Thailand or Caribe, and are more mold resistent
 
Blue dream cut I've run is resistant to PM even when everything else had it. Might be an option. Cherry bomb from Reef might be a good option also.
 
I just want to post this again as I think OP is missing the point.....if you are growing indoors with constant humidity of 80-90%, the solution is not to look for mold-resistant strains, but to buy a dehumidifier. He's looking at it the wrong way......80-90% indoors, you are gonna have mold no matter what you grow, as there's definitely already spores in that cool damp space. If you wanna grow there, a dehumidifier is the only way to go.
