61% right now. Shoud be fine bro.
Going to change during curing also bro chop them ladies
Already down and drying. 20-22°C, 48-52% rh
Trics turn amber when they're past their ripeness, and have a sedating effect when consumed. Too many amber trics on your buds will cause couchlock. You want to use amber trics to determine when a large percentage of all the trics are at the tail end of being milky, meaning "ripe".
Beautiful.
You were right my friend. Unfortunately, the main bud of one plant is starting to show mold. 48-60% humidity at all times. No idea why it happened. Any ideas on what to do now guys? Add more fans, dehumidifier or chop it into pieces?
Quickly, and completely remove any bud showing rot, because it will spread to all buds around them. Chop them all down now. Next time use a dehumidifier, and keep a small fan blowing on the plants at night to help prevent condensation.
Thanks buddy. That's what I did. Trimming right now. The mold is only on the main bud thank God. I did use a fan and the rh was never above 61%. Most of the time it was 40-48%. A little unlucky I feel but it's okay. Not the end of the world.
Be very careful at this point, because bud rot can spread to other buds while curing in jars. Smell the contents of the jars often, for signs of funky smelling bud rot. If you come across this situation, you have to find the rotting buds and toss them. Don't try to smoke bud with rot, it can cause respiratory issues, like pneumonia and bronchitis. Before jarring, id let them dry out a little more than usual. They'll rehydrate in the jars.
This ^^. Suggest multiple small containers to limit any possible loss due to mold spread.
Because mold spores can survive super high heat and extremely low cold temperatures and still be viable? No. And the only time I suffered bud rot I almost threw it my compost heap. Instead I burned it in a fit of overkill.
Ohhhh that sucks. I've lost 10gr for sure so far. Thanks for the reply!
Unfortunately, no. You shouldn't even try to remove parts of a bud that has rot, and smoke the rest. After getting some harvests under your belt, throwing out junk won't be a big deal. I toss everything that isn't top shelf quality when I harvest. But, I also grow more than I can consume, so I can afford to be very picky. Thats one of the reasons people grow their own, so they always get the very best buds, and have more of those top quality buds than they can smoke. I harvest about 3 times what I can smoke between grows, which allows me to skip grows when I want to go on vacation, or if I have a crop failure.
Thanks for all the help my friend. Much love and happy growing.
Don't feel bad. We've all had these problems when first learning to grow. You probably learn more during your first grow than in most books.
Sorry for your loss. Failures teach you more than success.
