RH in flower?

So I’ll try to keep this short and sweet, about 3-4 weeks into flower, going away for an overnight trip, concerned about how to handle my humidity while I’m away.
If I leave my dehumidifier at it’s current strength, keeping RH under 50, it will surely fill and turn itself off well before I return.
If I turn to the next step down setting it likely won’t fill and shut off before I return, but usually let’s the tent get to around 53-55RH.
So, how detrimental could it be letting my tent sit at around 53-55 RH for maybe 24 hours?
Also have to add that I have literally zero people I can have come and empty my dehumidifier while I’m away.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts here.

Not sure if it’s worth the mention, but I have 2 thermometers/humidity gauges, one at top canopy and near bottom of tent-top canopy readings for RH are never above 40 even when on my lower dehumidifier setting

55%RH at 79F is still on the dry side of a VPD chart. If it were me, I would choose to be constant 55%RH instead of risking the dehumidifier stopping and getting a significant spike up in the RH.

Good luck! Peace:peace:

Yeah that’s what I was leaning with, I know if it stopped for a period that would be much more serious. I just wasn’t sure if being in the 50s was too much even for a short while. I’ve read, and been told, that you want RH under 50 at this point, whether that’s accurate or not I’m not sure
