Starting to get bud rot! Should i harvest?

Leave the ends open for sure. Unless you can roll them down at night then open then in the morning. Throw a fan or 2 in the if you can and call it good. I had a whole field outdoors where it got down into the 30s last year at night and it didnt effect them at all. Usually those drops are only temporary and then it warms back up.

Are you sure I shouldn't heat it and run a dehumidifier? It's only gonna stay in the 40's all next week? How many nights did you keep them in the 40's at night last year?
 
I really need sedative bud and cant afford to cut early. I basically have to be a crack head and take all precautions to make sure I don't lose my bud to rot. I mean if I want early cut shit i can find that in the shitty dispensaries. That was the main reason I grew this year to make sure my bud wasn't cut early with no sedative effect!

Damn! Well I haven't seen any other spots on any of the other plants. And the top colas on the herijuana look good. My concern is I have a 12 ft wide x 50 ft long x 13.5 ft high. Can I even heat that big of a greenhouse?

I have 12 plants but tons of empty space between them. Lots of air space. I added another fan.

My green house is tiny compared to yours but I as well caught a plant with mold and removed it. I got two fans running and although I know they don't reduce humidity, they seem to be helping a lot keeping moisture off the ladies.

My weather is fucked.. got snow almost down to the valley last night and humidity levels in greenhouse during the day were between 40/50%.

Just went out to close bottom flaps and within 3 hours, the humidity is up to 80%...

Caught between a rock and a hard place here. Have a dehumidifier but I have to wire a gfi to my greenhouse and the house itself is not 100% sealed.

Not the kind of greenhouse you have. You can heat huge greenhouses 100x30 footers even bigger if they are steel framed with double wall insulated plastic with modine heaters concrete radiant heat flooring ect... but your greenhouse is uninsulated and all the heat rises. So itll be the top half warmer but youd need alot of heat dont think eletric heaters would work. You could use propane heaters but thats going to create even more moisture if your plants are covered your better off then the majority of ppl. All my full terms are outdoors and exposed to the elements. My seed plants with the biggest best buds arent molding at all, but my cookies and gelato clones are molding. So i'm seeing mold on 18 plants total out of 42 but the rest of my clones are wedding cake,ice cream cake, birthday cake, mimosa which all have smaller nugs. The worst it about to be over. You may lose a bit to mold but it can easily be trimmed out and if you are covered then you probably wont end up losing much at all. This weather is crazy though so wet and cold. All the hemp farmers are feeling it here in SoOregon. Imagine trying to cut mold out of acres of hemp fields lol

If you can seal up and insulate your greenhouse then dehums and heaters will make a dent in it but honestly it needs to be pretty sealed.

Yes all my plants are from seed with thick ass stems! Damn well I guess forget heating it! But yeah I think your right I think the biggest advantage we have is we have a roof over our plants so at least their not soaking wet. Its very dry in my greenhouse! And I have the fans on 24/7! I dont care if my electric bill goes up a bit. My neighbor is paying the price big time for not covering his plants. He bragged to me last year that noone needs a greenhouse in southern oregon. Glad I didnt listen to him or my whole crop would have mold like his do now. Plus he does it for money and all his crap is early cut shit. So of course he doesnt give a shit about having a greenhouse! I think he was trying give me bad advice on purpose or just an idiot.

What state are you in? Yes I do believe the fans help not let the mosture sit and fester on your buds. Yeah fuck thats why I thought twice about sealing off the ends cause had feeling make the humidity worse. I think its better to have that huge open airflow.

You think maybe the next two weeks will get sunny again? Seems like this storm was a freak occurence. Even the midwest said it was odd ball weather.

Do you think if the weather gets better I'll still be able to get a good bit of amber by the middle of october? All my plants are 100% Indicas or mostly domniant Indicas. Or will I have cut early cause of the night time temps?
 
These little bastards might been the culprit for that rusy brown spot bud I removed two days ago. I looked at it under a digital microscope. Anyone know what bugs these are?

I'm in the interior of bc Canada
Snowing in the mountains in my valley as we speak.
Just wired my small greenhouse and got her pretty sealed. Going to put the dehumidifier on tonight and see if it makes a dent in th nighttime humidity

Hey_ I think I those may be Russet Mites. Had those a couple years ago in Portland. I was amble this o get rid of them with SM90, but I caught them in Veg.
 
I have already lost a Grape Pie and 9 lb Hamer to this crappy Portland weather. Was counting on the 9 lb for my bedtime meds. Have an AK 4 Way by AK Bean brains that I planted in the ground with no cover and it looks like like it is loving this weather. Still outside but covered In plastic greenhouse are ECSD, Dominion Skunk, TK/NL5 Haze, Lemon Tree, 400 Blows. They have has some slight bud rot but nothing major. Hoping they can make it through.

I didnt have a choice this year. I would have never chose a strain thats designed for indoors like hashplant. Next year i will be doing a locally famous strain that was bred where i live:)

Hashplant is mostly indica. These look sat dom for sure. Also hashplant is built for outdoor. Lots of outdoor growers swear by ghash genetics to withstand wet and humid climates. You don't have hashplants there. Should get a more reliable source for clones.
