Was there any tell tale signs of bud rot, like dead pin leaves in the buds?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.
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.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.

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.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?
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 qualityThe 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.

I'd go with bleach at 1-2 cups per gallon of water.Is alcohol or peroxide better for disinfecting my tools and grow area?
