Just spread the branches out when you hang to dry to minimize mold. Remove water leaves.Thanks, originally my plan was (maybe still is), to hang the whole plant and dry trim. Maintain mid 60s for temp and 60%rh. Really Droopy is the only one concerning me because she has stayed so compact, I had to do a little defoliation the other day and spread out some of the satellite nugs because they were super "wet" and bright green. Still have some time to mull it over, but figured I'd let you more experienced growers chime in

Wet trim if you suspect a problem. Or the buds are really big. To be sure.Question for everyone, would I be better served wet trimming? The plants are so compact, don't want to risk mold

So... woke up this morning to this...
2 buds were rotting, I snipped the cola and the 2 buds on the left were unaffected. A little bummed, but it happens.
Question, can I quick dry the 2 buds on the left and "test" them, or should I trash it all? I was going to chop on Friday morning, got to keep an eye on the rest

I wouldn't ever quick dry bud. It's ruins everything. And slow drying would assure you're not smoking mold.So... woke up this morning to this...

Why are the cups still in the one gallons..Those are beautiful! Wow, nice work. I hope I can pull it off that well but I have too many plants. I need to start seeing some girl parts cause the are not feminized. I have 20 plants in a 4 x 4 and they are a little too happy if you know what I mean.

Just to be safe you’ll want to do a peroxide wash. 1 part 3% peroxide to 5 parts water, gently dunk a couple times, then a freshwater soak for a minute or two, lukewarm.

Yeah, I discarded most of if, couldn't resist and ended up microwaving a nug. Not as bad as I thought it would be, so maybe some potential for when I actually do harvest and dry/cure properlyI wouldn't ever quick dry bud. It's ruins everything. And slow drying would assure you're not smoking mold.

I had this happen to me on one of my wedding crasher plants. Still good after curing. Found a few seeds. I had light leakage in my tent. It didn't affect the other girls though. Just that plant.So... woke up this morning to this...

Sucks you had to go through that. All part of the process, I can't wait to try the harvest after a proper dry and cure!I had this happen to me on one of my wedding crasher plants.

So final harvest was about 4.5oz dry. Just bagged them into .5oz grove bags. Going to test the little jar tomorrow. Lessons learned for the next grow, and now patience for the cure!

Sorry that Im late Im new to the forum but yes, you could have waited for some amber to ensure maxium maturity but most of them are fairly milky so you will get the head high that you want I bet! Really good first grow overall I would say and dont worry we all run into trouble from time to time, but specially at the start is those problems that make you research and you always end up wiser! If you ever wanna salvage some moldy weed just use the solution that was posted above and dry them with a fan for a bit, that will destroy the spores making sure you dont catch a lung infection. Its not great when you have to put your havested weed in water with hydrogen peroxide. I had to do it once but it was many years ago, I recall the pistils looking a bit burned and the flavor decreased aswell as the potency, and a slight chemical taste, maybe I used too much hydrogen peroxide or its normal, I dont know but better safe than sorry and being asthmatic it didnt hurt me, on the other hand moldy weed without being treated irritates my lungs.

Thanks Eledin, this was a great learning experience and I look forward to future grows. I appreciate the tip for moldy weed. That is one of the fears playing most in the back of my mind.Sorry that Im late Im new to the forum but yes, you could have waited for some amber to ensure maxium maturity but most of them are fairly milky so you will get the head high that you want I bet!
