AK Bean Brains

[Dankortowne]

I'm gonna be wearing a helmet and sitting in the bathtub when I try it, just to be safe

I found that it creeps a bit I smoked a whole joint before it hit me ,then it was off like a shot!

 

[GrassBurner]

Hell yeah!! It's been a while since I had any creep

Now I'm scared to chop this 2nd Darien Gap. The first plant has dried, and I was trimming it up lastnight, and found bud rot. Lots of it. I scrapped it all
Valuable lesson learned. I bent the main stem over, and let all the sidebranches do their thing. They were just too close to each other. From the outside they looked beautiful, but breaking open the buds revealed a white, stretchy, spider web appearing material.
My humidity was pretty high for a while as well. I got a dehumidifier a couple weeks ago. Was in the 70's, brought it down to the 40s. Im hoping since this second plant has plenty of space for airflow between the buds, it won't suffer as badly. My apologies Mr Dankortowne.
My question now is, I have 2 other plants still going in that tent. All of the mold was discovered inside the buds, but do I still need to worry about it being spread to the others? Should I chop them now and check the insides of some of the colas?
I had a Doughlato next to this plant, and I found a small amount of it in some of the larger colas. Probably thrown away 3oz so far between the 2 plants. Better safe than sorry, but still painful.

Was there any tell tale signs of bud rot, like dead pin leaves in the buds?
I didn't notice any in the photo of the trimmed bud you posted, but on further inspection I may see what could be rot, hiding in the shadows.

 

[Bakersfield]

Bud rot is easy to find. Just bend the bud slightly to open it up and you'll see it if it's there.

 

[GrassBurner]

Yeah there were definitely a few of them that had turned a very light tan color. They were the leaves touching each other on the colas packed together. I trimmed all that were touching, and removed the parts of the leaves that were brown. Looks like I missed some.
I'm guessing by the time I see the light tan color, it's too late? I'm gonna go up into the tent and check the other plants for similar leaves. I read that I could give the sugar leaves a tug, and see if they just fall out? Thanks for the diligence in checking the picture for me, I appreciate it
Is alcohol or peroxide better for disinfecting my tools and grow area?

Yea you really need to keep the humidity down and good airflow around the dense colas. You can use something like popsicle sticks to slide into and hold open the cola buds. Most likely your other plants have the same issue, I would check them out.

Pull on the dead leaves in the buds. If they come right out, look at the base of the stem and if there's rot, you will see mold and little spore sacks.

 

[GrassBurner]

The Darien Gap looks okay I believe. Bent the colas over at different sections, and the color is a nice light green.
The Doughlato colas are crazy dense. I couldn't really open them up. It's about time to chop that plant anyways, it's on week 11 right now. So I'll know tonight.
Thanks for all the advice! I moved the dehumidifier up into the loft where the tents are, its set on 40%.
Here is the Gap, let me know if yall see anything concerning.

Thanks for the popsicle stick trick @mindriot

mmm I dunno, I’m a bit concerned with the frost on that one, you might need to send a sample to check it’s quality

 

[BOY GENIUS]

Americanna x Beatrix Choice almost ready for the flip. They’ve exploded this week with warmer daytime temps and topping. I haven’t documented individual measurements for the lot, but they share similar form and node spacing.

 

[Spondylo Grow]

Is alcohol or peroxide better for disinfecting my tools and grow area?

I'd go with bleach at 1-2 cups per gallon of water.

 

[colocowboy]

Physically scrub with hot water.

 

[Romulanman]

I've been using iso on the equipment and outside the tent. I use bleach/water solution inside the tent. Working pretty well so far.

 

[Bakersfield]

I'll use alcohol and flame on propagation tools and bleach for cleaning trays, walls, etc.

I've never really tried peroxide although I've considered using it in hydro, but with my cool rez temps and frequent changes, mykos seem to do the trick.

In the late summer and fall, during our Southcentral Alaskan monsoon season,
I have to be on point watching for botrytis on big to medium buds.

 

[GrassBurner]

Lost a few spears to rot. Maybe 20% of total plant volume so far. I chopped each cola, and pulled them apart at different sections. Ill strip everything off the stems just to be safe. Look at this big fucker

 

[Romulanman]

Any idea of a drop for the Sensi Star F4? is that still in the works? @Dankortowne
