First Grow Stealth Bubbleponics

That "blond" part doesn't look like mold to me. It looks like a dead or dying leaf which would be natural. Does it smell like mold? You're closer than I am to it! LOL!

Sadly its mold. definitely. But we chopped most of it off and it looks okay. Plus now that we cut away the leaves there is a very nice shiny coat of crystals which shimmers when looked at under a light. And despite even being chopped early, the trich's seem mostly amber. Odd?
 
Ray,

please tell me and others, with some detail, how that happened? What mistake or procedure can you share with us that caused the mold so we can all avoid it?

Me? Give advice to ROSEMAN!? This is an honor.

Well to be perfectly honest: We're not totally sure. None of the other buds have mold on them, but here's what we think happened: The bud got too big and rested on the screen. That probably caused a build up of moisture on the underside of the bud and caused it to rot a bit. That's what we think at least.
 
Hey ray... I think that's probably what it was... maybe some of those leaves all resting on eachother on the screen, sweating and the water being trapped.

I guess that's what happens when you grow monster nugs that won't even stand up any more. Next time strings for monsters... like a puppet. A pot puppet.

I must say... as much as it might be wearing on your patience, it's nice that such a great ride (your grow and journal) gets to last a little longer.

The Hydro shops now sell little winches, like a pulley, on a tension, that you fasten to the ceiling and tie it to the top cola, to pull it up straight so it doesn't fall over.
 
Me, I'd just attach a cup hook to the ceiling or whereever and tie it to the ceiling like a hangman's noose. I think your right on the diagnosis of the problem. Crushed by it's own weight! Don't think that bud got much air movement while it was laying down on the job!
 
There's actually a picture of the bud tied to the top of the box but it was too late. We just used a thick piece of twine that seemed to work well.
 
So we tried some stuff out on the final girl to get it going... and we have no idea if it was right but it seemed like the right thing to do. We did 3 days of darkness, then cranked the light up to 15/9 and added two gallons of fresh water with a packet of micro nutes and a packet of bloom. We also stabbed the bottom branches again since that seemed to get the plant moving.
 
Dear RIU, why did all three of our plants develop differently? They were raised in the same environment, given the same nutrients, same water, same pruning, the same love and care (and the occasional spill of blood from that fucking metal grate!). Why did they all form differently?

Here is the pic of the first plant (from all the way in the corner of the box) the second (in the center) and the third (still growing).

Dear Ray, The Ice plant is a four way split and three of the four splits are crosses themselves and your wonder why you get three different looking kids? LOL!

I'm planning on maybe breeding and been studying up. I'm addicted to growing and all related things! This is actually a treatment center! Didn't you know?

Same reason me and my X wife had three children, that all turned out different. That's just the way it is.
 
So today we finally chopped the last plant. Measured out about 170 g's wet. Unfortunately, due to the two rotting stumps and a recently deceased fan, the plants were just beginning to mold. They were about ready anyways, so we chopped em down. Pics coming soon!:weed:
 
Harvest Pics!!!

Total Trimmed wet weight = about 75g's.

Nice work ray. Good show. Glad to see the last one finally come down. I know you'll enjoy all that smoke.

Take a break, refocus and we'll do this whole thing again. Only this time bigger and better.
