Hey folks
Well what a fucking nightmare ive had over the last 20hours or so.
As you can see from the pictures of the BUD that has been chopped from the plant there is a dark (different colour) part of the bud in the centre this is where the mould was found. IT had taken over roughly 1inch X 2inch long area in the centre of the bud which was around 4inches wide and 8inches long.
I inspected all of the plants quite thoroughly last night and havent since found any more problems. So today i have Had a small defoliation session with a good friend, whom you may remember from my motherbox build thread, MR P DOWNWARD, and we have stripped alot of the large leaves from the centres of where the plants all meet. Creating more air between the plants. I have also fitted a 6inch clip on fan to the tray of the WILMA which points directly up through the canopy now.
I have also ceased the 3 feedings during the dark cycle to reduce how much moisture is present in the air. As each of the plants came out of the wilma for a hair cut they got sprayed down with ROT STOP from my local hydro shop, this is supposed to stop BOTYTRIS in its tracks, better safe than sorry.
Current REs Stats, EC rising slightly to 1.4, ph drifting from 5.8-5.3 still using just the RIPEN and the BOOST. I will be topping up the WILMA with just plain water with BOOST no RIPEN tomorrow to bring the pH up and the EC down, rather than using any acids etc unnecessarily.
I have arrowed the BUD in question which i had to chop off for you to see.
ANyway hope you like the pics from my fucked up evening. lol.
