Day 66 and I found more bud rot in my largest center cola. I decided to cut 5 days early, but there's an acceptable amount of amber at this point (instead of couch lock I'll be cleaning out he garage and sorting nuts and bolts).

I likely lost 6 or 7 ounces :(

Yeah it sucks. I view it as nature taking payment for the free sunlight, soil and water. What would it have cost me to grow indoors? I think about it that way and I’m ok.

Now wind . . . don’t get me started! :wall:

Great looking plant btw.

If it makes ya feel any better, I grow indoor and I've been dealing with my denser colas getting little bits of white PM/ rot on on the very inside of the core of the colas. So im getting fucked on paying for all that and still having to pay the piper with my precious gange lmao

I hear you. In the month of October where I am at it has been between like 65 and 95 percent humidity throughout the entire day and night.

I'm impressed that you've been a forum member since 2009 and you've only posted 34 times. It makes me kind of wonder if I'm posting too much. If I had to guess you must have the same computer since then and remain signed in with a browser that's never been cleaned of cookies. If not, I would guess you've taken at least one, if not several long hiatus'. And if so.. how do you remember your password?

Dy Zymes is basically citric acid, correct?

It's a fermented product, so it has alcohol and yeast. Both which aid in dessication of eggs, mite exoskeletons and killing spores.
They aren't listed as active ingridients, but as inert, which means they aren't making any additional claims to mode of action.

Citric is the primary active ingidient, but the byproducts aid in its mode of action even if it is listed as inert.

So if I use citric acid on my girls with the Big Fat Colas (lol) I can prevent bud rot from coming?
Just had my 1st experience with it. During lights on rh is fine at 55% but at night jumps up to 72%. On week 8 in that tent and looks like 2 weeks to go. Dont wanna see bud rot no more if I can help it.

When growing outdoors grow enough in plan of bud rot.

This year has been extremely light for me. Only a couple of small colas affected and caught way early.

So this year turned out il end up with more than planned.

No. Too many things can create an environment for bud rot. Spraying citric acid isn't going to stop it all.

#1 reason for bud rot is caterpillars
#2 dead leaves left to rot in the bud.
#3 excessive moisture either through high humidity in the air or from spraying the buds with really anything wet.

There is no absolute fool proof method to completely avoid bud rot outdoors. The elements will get you if you don't prepare. It will still get you if you do prepare but not nearly as bad.

When I was doing it for money I did a 3:1 ratio . Put out 3 times what I needed to end up with . Worked pretty well for 25 years . Some years when everything went right I'd be leaving bud to rot because I couldn't handle it . Not the worst problem to have...:D

I didn't have any space constraints though , anyplace I could get in and out unseen was fair game . Too old for that shit now .

Yep, lost about half of what I grew this year from it, had a whole plant I just tossed in the garbage.
Great looking plant as others have said, what's the strain?

I know of a couple of people working with this product (biological fungicide) for Botrytis control https://bioworksinc.com/products/botrystop/

No personal experience with it since I don't usually have issues with Botrytis indoors, but I'd consider it for an outdoor/greenhouse grow for sure.

I couldn't find much research done with it, but has similar mode of action to LalStop and Actinovate.
Storage seems a pain, smallest bag is 6 lb.

Shelf Life:
Ships Overnight methods only and must remain refrigerated until use.
Product must be stored refrigerated at 40°F (20°C), but not frozen (below 32°F/O°).
When refrigerated (below 40°F), the shelf life of this product is 12 months.
Product can be stored at room temperature (70-75°F/22-25°C) for up to 7 days, but the spores will begin to lose viability after 48 hours at 77°F (25°C).
Spores will rapidly decline in viability at 86°F (30°C).

yikes, the details certainly make it less attractive for home growers, my bad!
