Grey Mold....About 10 days ago I noticed a white powdery substance on some of my lower fan leafs.
I thought... either these girls are partying without me or maybe it was a residue from my humidifier. The water here is a hard water.
Last nite I noticed that the white powder had turned grey and I found more of it.
The conditions I've created to keep the nodes tighter and stretch to a minimum during the first 2 weeks of flower with the lower temps and humidity between 50-60% has been a perfect environment for "BOTRYTIS" aka Gray Mold. After more research (3 diff grow bibles and a friend with many years of experience) I came to the conclusion that this is what I have happening inside my tent.
I've cut the rh down to 40% and will be using a sulphur burner or vape for the next few days during lights off.
This should work.
I'm lucky that no buds are involved.
I will still keep the temps on the low side in keeping with my original plan.
Sorry no pics .. riu is having problems again?
I've done ok without the "likes" not working but not being able to view or display pics on this forum makes me think that this is NOT a very good website for doing journals. I may have to go back to pen and paper.
For what it's worth,
Just my .02
