I am about 1 week into flowering and My temps are between 71 and 73 degrees. My humidity is at 61% though and I wanted to know how I can lower it. I had a Bucket of water in my closet during veg to keep it humidity but now that I am flowering I need lower humidity if possible correct? Please help me lower my humidity. +rep for answers.

the obious answer is to get a dehumidifer. and yes is you still have the bucket of water in the grow get it out. Do you have a min max humidity meter? If not get one. I would not be shocked to see it climb to the upper 80's when the lights go off.

You can use a de-humidifier and as mcpurple said a fan to move the air around with and you can raise your temps a few degrees to 78 or so.
Good luck

Not knowing where you live, are you heating or cooling or what? If your temps are naturally that low I would add some dry heat like a ceramix heater in the grow area. Take temp up to 76 or so and see if that gets humidity down to 50. 50 is ok for early flower but for late flower you want even lower. Indoor humidity is very much related to the outside environment.

Thanks for all the tips. I checked this morning and my temps are 75degrees and 47% Humidity. Will this be good area to keep my temps and humidity at?

That's ok, even lower humidity in late flower is desirable.

I'm 2 weeks from harvest and at 26% and I'm happy as a clam with that. Even 40 would be ok.

It's also kinda dependent on what style of grow you do - with 64 plants in a 4x4 tray, I can get away with higher humidity then most, because the colas aren't nearly as thick as they are on your larger plants.

As long as I keep mine <=55% I'm reasonably happy with it - even with a 25 pint dehumidifier in the tent running 24/7, humidity can be an issue.
