Never have. He needs to exchange his air in the room. That spray is a band aid, just fix the problem

What's his humidity once the lights turn off?I've just been chatting with the guy now.
He said that he topped 25 plants for 4 mains in a SOG set up and he has lost 8 main colas to bud rot, yet the other 92 so far look fantastic with 3 weeks left of 12 week flower.
I've been helping him tweeking his room. I'm not sure he can improve on it much now from my point of view.
It seems like one fan leaf shuts down on the big cola and turns crispy brown dead in a single day, when inspected, this seems to be the area where bud rot has established on the stem deep within the bud.
I suggested using colloidal silver on the infected areas to try and save them. But he takes the whole stem off straight away. He said he vaguely remembers reading something about colloidal silver 'hermi-ing' them so doesn't want to chance it.
Thanks for replying anyway

I know it was very low when the lights were on when I was round there, like around 23%. I'll ask him his readings when I speak to him and let you know. Thanks for your interest mate.What's his humidity once the lights turn off?
The colas he has taken off with bud rot are from 8 weeks in. He has been drying and curing them to see what they are like.He may just want to cut @ 8 weeks before the rot starts to set in. They may not be as big but not tossing moldy buds and getting another cycle to 2 per year.
It's an option
What kind of dehueys were you running? Capacity?I spent close to 4k on dehumidifiers, bought the expensive controllers added fans all over the place and the trimmers still bitched. Nowadays when I'm ready they come running
If the strain doesnt work out....its time to change up to something that does. Ive had to do this a shilt load of times. Sometimes something just doesnt work in a particular set up.The colas he has taken off with bud rot are from 8 weeks in. He has been drying and curing them to see what they are like.
I've had some off him, and whilst a it's fairly decent in strength considering it's early, there is absolutely no aroma or taste for that matter.
He was saying that this strain haze x northern lights doesn't get any trichones till about 6.5 weeks in and the terpenes don't really develop in size and ripeness until about 11 weeks, until then there is only a faint aroma of the N- lights with little frosting.
It's like you say though, it must be a spike humidy when the lights go out and the room air cools down, cold air holds less water, which will unload the water on the nearest cool objects like plant stems in the form of condensation. This is fine where the stems are getting some air movement to evaporate the moisture, bud deep in the dense buds it's establishing spores and creating problems.
I'm going to suggest he tries coating all the budsites with Vaseline after the stretch before the buds grow, on one or two plants and see if it makes a difference. It might hurt the plants though.
Thanks again for all your replies.
Sorry op, don't mean to hijack your thread.
Hey Church, I'm on your side, I believe also that plant absorb straight inorganic molecules..I've been following these forums since the overgrow days, so yes I'd say I'm forum born and raised.
I've been designing my own hydroponic formulas for the past 7 years now and have made over 18 iterations of my formula, dialing in on the perfect nutrient profile. The reason you're seeing improvement in your grows has nothing to do with the bullshit products you've been adding. You're probably just better at growing than you were when you didn't use those products.
You say it's expensive to become "really" dialed in, but my nutrients are likely some of the cheapest on the forum. Generic salts.

Your formula seems interesting, how would you compare it to the Jacks Pro formula? I'm wondering if there is a real major advantage to switch to a custom formula like yours considering all the work required to buy the raw ingredients and making the right ratio formula (weighting everything out perfectly) than try to tweak it like you did to find the perfect formula..
Have you tried Jack Pro hydro or anything similar, what differences (improvements) are you getting from your tailored formula?
Thanks,
Sounds like a big Mike blurb.I listen to real world scientists that travel the globe searching for the latest in studies tests and the cutting edge in horticulture.
Kelp foliar sprays are bullshit. Dont work. Placebo.Sounds like a big Mike blurb.
