I'm trying to find something cheap and effective to combat botrytis for my grow...ohana said they have something called oxygenator that they sell for $40 a gallon...someone on this site recommended Green Cure and it's fairly cheap but can't find on the island. Any local suggestions?View attachment 3258672
Rik that's a good idea there...solar would be the way to go.
So far this has happened to all my plants except for that northern auto, but that smoke was sub par anyways. All my thc bombs have it and I keep trimming the infected buds as I notice them. They almost always start a couple inches below the top of each cola, so I was pretty heartbroken having to toss around a pound wet into the rubbish...

Hmm...I thought making a mini greenhouse would solve my mold issues but it looks like it is still a problem. I'd try to open up more walls if your property allows for it or maybe try those semi opaque shade cloth's for your walls to allow air through. It's been a pretty dry last couple of weeks, so humidity hasnt been too outta control lately.
Its likely due to a lack of circulation and fresh air. Also if your GH cant get fresh air then it is likely the mold spores are just floating all over. You need to pretend you are a surgeon when you cut out damaged bits....get a bottle of rubbing alcohol, fresh rubber gloves, and go to work, sterilizing your scissors everytime you touch a moldy area. Try to avoid touching any non-infected areas after handling a moldy area.
Strain selection could also be part of the problem. Some strains have pistils that are mold factories and as soon as they start receding back into the calyx they just rot your bud from the inside out. There's no real way to find the right strain except by getting a clone with a known mold resistance or thru trial and error. So far I've found blueberry crosses do well for mold, I think thats why people love growing blue dream cuz the blueberry just laughs at the mold.
i'm weary of spraying anything on buds I plan to smoke...I think I'd rather lose yield than smoke some shit sprayed on my buds.
I had 4 totally different phoenos out of the 4 reg I popped. The one that's left is sativa dom 8'+ and lst'd to the max under 6' ceiling. A good 3-4 weeks behind the others but all were together from seedGotta grow airy asian sativas in the islands outside!
I have read some good things about using milk.

so, would that make the mold or mildew.... Lactose Intolerant?Lactose bacteria
Milk? Gotta hear about this..
Stayed up till 2 in the morning trimming..at least it wasn't a total loss. I still got at least 3 oz off each even after dumping a third off each in the rubbish.
Note to self...don't chop more than u can trim if u gotta go to work in the morning!![]()
Woke up yesterday morning to a substantial amount of mold areas. I think the wind blew it from one plant to the other to the other. One plant even has what looks to be caterpillar larvae under the branches. Big white puffy things in a thin layer of cobweb material. That's a first for me. I can't believe I've not notice it before, although I've been pretty busy lately.
Hope your grow worked out for you. Nice to see you got a nice amount after having to dump so much. I'm still 3 weeks or more out on mine.
How is it applied? Diluted milk spray? I don't know...thoughts from early childhood pop into my head. Like the time I got hungry in the middle of the nite and went into the kitchen to fix a bowl of cereal half asleep...so much so I didn't notice the curdled milk I poured on my cereal until I took the first big bite. You get the idea.Lactose bacteria
Electricity cost for me is a major factor. Did ur buds look like this?:

You get any caterpillars?
No caterpillars. I think I would rather have those than the mold...bit seems u have both. I am guessing the cobweb stuff I have is from the mold being left unchecked for too long.
I guess when winter rains come there won't be anything that can be done about it. Rain everyday for months. I've wondered what growers do here during that time. I guess it's all inside growing or what? I can't imagine trying to keep humidity down in winter in a gh here.
