such a sad day for me and my bros. We're relatively inexperienced in this field and could use everyone's advice on how to move forward and how to prevent this from happening again.
It's everyone's worst fear aside from having your front door kicked down by Five O, but our exhaust fan failed to turn on after the plug came halfway loose from the wall plug. Apparently, one of us kicked it loose by accident while doing some routine work on monday night. Everything was working just fine before we left. I guess the vibrations from the fan caused the already loosen plug to loosen a bit more causing the fan to stop working completely. We came back thursday night only to find everything fried in the room. We knew something bad had happen as we were walking towards the unit cause the smell was really noticeable. We're not exactly sure how long its been like this but I'm assuming the fan stopped working sometime Tuesday cause there were new form of mold growing on the wood that were used to create the room.
It was so hot and humid in there that everything was wet and one of the reflector's lens had shattered
So we're 40 days into bloom and not sure how to proceed. Our strain is ECSD, all the pistil has a slight brown color to them now with some burning of the leaves. Other than that, the plant itself looks ok, granted half of them were falling over at the time of discovery.
Should we cut off the bad parts and let it continue its course? or just chop it and try to save what we can. Or scrap it and start over and waste 2 months of hard work. I just need some guidance here.
Also what do you guys do in order to prevent things like this from happening again? I have heard of a safety switch that cuts off the power but is there one made for a flip system, in this case the power box and with remote sensors. The box itself is not in the room where the lights are.
and what about containing the smell should the exhaust fan malfunction?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
