Hello to all and thank you in advance for your help.....
Got a big surprise when I got home from work today.......mold on my plant!!!!
Here's what I found, and what I did:
A bud located near the bottom of the main cola was starting to (from behind or near main stem) become covered with mold...the white, fuzzy kind. I actually noticed it a couple of days ago but at that time I thought it was incredible trich density in that particular area.
I started to panic
so I cut off the main cola just below the mold affected bud.
The plant in question is a Red Dragon. Breeder says max 9 weeks of flowering and today is almost 7 1/2 weeks into that. The plant does look close to being done.
So....2 questions:
#1 The part I cut off.....is it garbage? I surgically removed the mold-covered bud and I don't see any more mold on it.....but I don't have microscopic vision. It is definitely immature, no question about it but I think that there are enough milky trichs for it to be worth something if it's not damaged. I don't want to hurt myself or anyone else so I'm leaning toward pitching it. Is there any way to tell if it's safe?
#2 Is it okay to keep the rest of the plant in the grow room with my other girl? I don't see any more mold right now and plan on watching them closely. I have a dehumidifier running in the same small area as the girls...it's been going for over a month. That's why I was kinda surprised by this. It has been VERY humid in my area though since the later part of May.....greenhouse-like!!
Thanks again for your help!!!!!!!
