Mold on day of 55 flower

Hey RIU community,

First time grower here currently on day 55 of flower. Checked the girls this morning and noticed one of my colas had mold on it. Chopped the stem off and havnt spoted mold anywhere else, but I'm wondering if I should pull them early or pull the one plant early to avoid loosing the whole bunch. Humitity had been a problem since i started flowing. I've been running 55-65% while lights on and 80-85% lights off. Not much I can do to help the humidity right now. Can't afford a dehumidifier. Temps stay around 65-75.

More air movement if you really can’t swing the dehum. The dehum would be worth it personally. Cut all contaminated and try to not spread it (wrap a bag around contaminated areas while you cut. Bread bags work great for this.)

I bet if you check your local craigslist you could find a dehuey for cheap.

Thats Botrytis (Bud rot).. Personally I would toss any that have rot on them.

Quick follow up, ended up chopping the girls down on day 55 and getting rid of the entire stock that had bud rot on it. Currently have them drying In a cardboard box with fans blowing in and out. Hopefully I won't get any pre bud rot throughout the drying process.

Trying to find decent method of keeping the Humitity down without getting a dehumidifier.

I hate to tell you but, that's a lesson learned. Your methods just failed because of not having your humidity in check. I would make it my number one priority to get a dehu, or what ever you might need to control your humidity.
