I have a fan circulating top and bottom. My humidity was at 55 steady now I have it down to 35 40% bouncing back and forth. You think I should go ahead and chop or should I keep going with the flush? And what's the best way to dry it out to keep it from getting worseWhat’s your RH, and are you providing enough air circulation? I’d chop the offending bud off carefully, baggy around it then chop, don’t want to spread the mold spores. Keep an eye out for any spreading of the rot.
Sounds like the air circulation at the bottom of the canopy isn’t enough.
Someone else may have more comments to help, Good luck.
Are you exhausting your grow space also? Is 30-40 the RH during lights out?
As far as flushing, you’re just watering, no feed right? Might want to slow the rate that you’re adding moisture to your plants. How’s the ratio of trichs white, amber clear on buds?
Along the lines of what has been said, rh tends to spike at lights off. It is a good practice to run you exhaust on a different timer so you can keep it going for an hour or so after lights out, or just keep it running all the time.
Beyond cutting the rot out, I have seen people say spraying the affected area with an isopropyl alcohol solution is a good extra step.
I try and keep rh real low during the end of flower.
The co2? Or go ahead and cut the crop?Cut it out and keep it movin man.
Here's it what I know about bud rot...
Temperature fluctuations allow bud mold and powdery mildew to grow. So what I have done is keep my day and night temps as close to each other as possible. I have not experienced either of those in many many years. This tip came from an old thread on here from many many years ago. Good luck and I hope this helps!
Co2 should have been cut a week ago. Shut off A/C/ and turn on dehumidifier to increase heat and reduce humidity.
I'm going to take your advice as well specially since I can't find any other buds at all with rot, just the one tiny bud I found on a bottom branch at the very bottom of just one of my hydro pots. My other dirt plants and my other 3 hydro pot look fine as far as I can see. Thanks for the advice I greatly appreciate it!You might lose a bit more to mold, but I would take it through at least a week of flushing. I am a bit conflicted there as I do buy into the "flushing not necessary" arguments, but since we don't really know what your build up levels might be, better to lose a bit more to rot rather than have all of it be kinda crappy due to to much residual nutrients.
My dehumidifier makes my room hot as hell if I do that tho. My fan might be able to make up for some of that thoI meant cut your a/c at night only!
