Sup. I ain't posted since after last falls outdoor harvest. Am update on that...
I got about 16 oz off of those 4 plants out there, and only lost 1 branch to bud rot.
Now, I did an indoor grow. Man, the idea is the same, but the challenges are a little bit more, at least for now.
Did my first serious indoor grow. I went out, and grabbed up 2 HLG 200RSpec lights. I just had to cut the plants down, just shy of 8 weeks. Woulda been 8 weeks this wednesday. Lost them to bud rot. So angry about that. Only a handfull of buds were affected, but, I chopped the entire crop down. I ain't gonna monkey around with it. Got a whiff or 2 of them crap buds and my sinuses are...irritated. Almost as irritated as I am about wasting all that electricity to grow these things. Couple of them were dense as hell, and looked good. Spin the bud around to check and boom, bud rot. The entire plants weren't affected, but I dunno if I wanna chance it.
I think maybe I need more airflow. The room size ain't that big really. 3 wide, 2 deep and 6 tall. Wasn't a whole lotta moisture, but these plants exploded under these lights, and the buds were....healthy sized. Dense. I imagine that is how this happened. Low air flow, and dense, sweating buds made for a nice, cozy rest area for the mold to take hold. I had not noticed it until it was too late. I saw a bud a couple weeks back that looked like it maybe had a few cobwebs on it, but nothing serious. I couldn't see the back of the bud tho. On the back, man....fuzzy as all get out. Found 6 more big top buds that were pretty much the same way. The rest of them look ok, but I dunno if I am gonna mess with them. I have not decided yet.
Should I toss the whole lot out, or just be ok knowing I could only see/feel the symptoms on a those buds I found it on?
I'd hate to flush all that money down the tubes. Maybe I can find someone who don't care about it, and give them a great deal, and recoup some of it.
Also, any ideas on what type of air flow I can maybe look into for said small area? Any dehumidifying ideas? It's not a huge space, but I have these killer seeds I wanna get one going of, but not until I get the space better to better try and prevent this from happening again.
anyways...I'll attach a photo of the issue, and one of the salvagable buds (I think)...

but indoors growing is easier than outdoors once you get the hang of it. The problem was probably high humidity and heat in the tent due to insuficient or lack of airflow yes, thats the most common cause for botrytis to appear indoors. Do you have a thermohygrometer with a probe to set the probe on the top cannopy? You can also swap to the thermohygrometer sensor with a button or sometimes both show on the screen so you know the temperature of your upper canopy under the lights and the temperature of the tent, which is often not the same.
now you know why I dont read books anymore, you said it and I had to figure it out because I missed it.
