Stink...its raining hard and i got a little worried about mold developing on my fresh hung boxed buds. Normaly i wouldnt worry about it but I set my thermo out there where i usually dry and it was like 51 deg and 70% humidity.
So i resulted to stacking the boxes in the corner of my flower room and put a black sheet over them to block some of the light. the temps and the humidity in the room are near perfect for drying 75deg 40% rh.

Is this OK? at least until the wet weather stops?

Some of your roots may have died and are rotting. Get some Hygrozyme and put it in the rez.

It may be too late though. If you have clones ready and the plants look real bad, you may be better off starting with fresh plants.

Yes, everything will work perfect.

I've been trimming my buds right at harvest and putting them on a big window screen. I put the screen over a couple of spare containers with a fan near to keep the air moving.

I just leave it out, right behind me. I turn the buds twice a day. It takes 4-6 days to dry that way.

I always trim the shit out of my bud. I don't leave any leaf unless it's covered in crystals. I also cut the main colas down. If I can cut a bud off the main stem, I do.

This lets fresh air into the places that would normally mold.

This process will work for you too. It's humid here too. Cold but humid....

Dirt brought up a good subject to talk about, The dreaded bud mold.:cuss:

Mold likes warm, wet, dark places. Just like the inside of your huge dank buds. So what do we do?

The best thing is to avoid it all together. Keeping your flower room below 50% humidity will help. Use at least two fans to keep the air circulating at all times.

If this mean using a dehumidifier then that's what you have to do. You can't just vent your flower room to decrease humidity if the outside air is 60%+.

All you will be doing is bringing in fresh humid air. You have to break down and buy either an A/C unit or a dehumidifier.

So how do you check for bud mold? It's virtually impossible to find the mold until damage starts to occur.

Keep a look out for a single dead leaf coming out of one of the buds. All the other leaves will look fine.

Now follow that dead leaf to where it comes out of the stem. Look for mold spores. It looks just like bread mold and the plant material will be brown and dying.

If you find some mold you need to cut that entire bud off and take it out of the room. It will have mold in it that you can't see.

Many people see spores and think that's the mold. The mold is actually tiny fibers running through the food source like tiny roots. The grey/green stuff we see is actually the spores of the mold.

What's a spore? It's kind of like a seed but with only one set of genes because it's produced asexually. Think of it like getting yourself pregnant every time you masterbate!

Good thing us StinkBuddies can't reproduce asexually. We would overpopulate the Earth in a matter of weeks!

Anyway, back on subject...Many times you can just cut the bad part of the bud out and let the rest of it dry normally.

Then I put the moldy bud on the table and shake my finger at it yelling "BAD MOLD", "BAAAAAD MOLD"! I think it helps...

Do you really want to loose all your friends?

Let me tell you what will happen. Have you ever been to a bakery. Smell all that good yeast in the fresh bread? Emmm, yummy!

That's what your house is going to smell like. All your buddies will come over and be like " Emmm, fresh bread! Bust out bro"!

And you'll be like " I ain't got no fresh bread bitch"! And then they'll be like "Fuck you, I can smell it! You just want to Bogart all the fresh bread! CYA beotch"!

Is it really worth it?

Besides, yeast dosen't work anyway...

Either does anything else beside a CO2 generator or tank.

stink (or anyone who knows more than me)
how fast do the plants take in the co2? im wondering if it would be worth it to get co2. my room is small and when the hps and dehumidifier are on it gets hot, the exhaust kicks on to keep the temps straight, i dont know if i would be just wasting it. just doing some research before i spend some $$$, the regulators and whatnot are not cheap so i want to make it worth it. thanks.

BIGTIMEROOFERR that yeast fermenting shit is for the birds don't do it it does not work and create enough co2 to do anything i tried. I still cant afford co2 tank your best and cheap way is get a small prpane burner you know the ones you use for camping be very careful of the carbon monoxide its deadly i turn mine on for 15minutes every 2-3 hours. Stay in their why its on they are dangerous also watch temps they will rise. after you turn it off wait a couple of minutes then turn your fans on and blower on. I don't know exactly the ppm but they are probobly close to 1500 right after you turn it off. i have seen great resuts from it. It does not beet the tank but will work till you can get a tank just more work and not as precise. Also for everyone that has built stinks system it is a good idea to build a contacter for your timer and pumps. It will save the life of them. You are runiing a good amount of amps running 5 pumps and whatever else on the same circut. It cost like 50bucks to build one it is better then smoking your timer that cost almost 100 or so. Andyman helped me with great pics that show exactly how to build. If Andyman does not mind i can give you guys exact diagram and places on net were to get parts get at me.
