hey!

i harvested my plant yesterday and found mold just in the big main bud! this happened to me the last time i grew this strain but in the last time the plant itself had a moldy smell because the humidity was up to 90% in the dark period.

this time the plant smelled great and i left the ventilation and extraction system on 24/7 and still i got mold on the main bud.. the humidity did not go over 65% in the dark period.

it could have been worse, i think only about 2 or 3 grams were really affected but the rest is ok.. still.. it's a big deception to see your work eaten up by mold.

so my question here is.. how do you who have huge main buds stop mold from f*cking up your plants?

there are some pictures of the plant before harvest, the main stem after cutting the buds and some of the affected buds.

:peace:

You have to keep your humidity to under 50% all the time. The mould is setting in at night when the humidity is higher, its a perfect fungus environment.

You need a dehumidifer and possibly something to bring the temperature down? How warm is it?

too moist...either drop the humidity or slow on the water at the end and if you even suspect mold when close to havest....harvest
