I guess you could try raising the temperatures but 90 is too high IMO. Maybe 85 at the highest. In my experience once you see bud rot in the buds it is already around and it will strike here and there. Even if you lower the Humidity and raise the temperature but you might have better results.Hey guys, I found some mold in my tent. I was spreading apart a bud and I saw some fuzziness in the middle. Game over? Or is there anything I can do? I thought about putting a heater in there and raising the temp past 90 and then making sure my humidity stays below 50%. Please help.
Myself I would not trash the grow. When I have gotten bud rot in the past I would just remove the effected buds as the grow goes on. Once you see one usually more will come but you can help yourself by raising the humidity and temperature. Secondly, I have also had success with bud washing. In my case it was for PM but the same principles apply. I want to say I used Jorge C method from a you tube video. Basically, there are mold spores all around us. It takes the right environment for them to take hold but to be safe a wash and a good examination when you buck the buds off the stocks should get it covered.Does this mean my entire grow is shot then? If I see mold then shouldn't I assume there are spores everywhere? Is there some way to kill the mold and safely remove it via bud wash? I had success with a bud wash on an outdoor grow before because of bugs is it possible for mold?

Raising the humidity?
Correction LOWERING the humidityRaising the humidity?
I caused it. I sprayed them with water and closed the tent - not to mention I stuffed six five gallon plants in a 4x4. I thought my 3 fans were moving enough air. I guess I just over did it. Live and learn. I could still take cutting from my outdoor plants that are in veg still and restart. I have bad luck flowering in my tent so far (I have only been growing for about four seasons now). I want to master light dep outdoor. I have some plants outside that I have been keeping in 24 hours of light via supplemental light. This is how I have gotten them big in the past. It's just this time I'm not sure when I should stop o that they flower at the right time.You should just let it go. Clean the tent. Or get a new one. Figure out what caused the mold.
When I get PM or fungus and have to do a clean:
New Air filters. Remove all debris and plants. Clean surfaces with hospital grade sanitizer. Or bleach. All surfaces. Then on the inside of the tent I use a spray bottle to wet everything down with hydrogen peroxide. Then I spray the fans and stuff with the peroxide. Not too much. I turn on the fans. I turn on the Ozone machine. (Carbon filters removed).
I do 30 minutes of Ozone. Vent. And when I go back in there a few hours later it smells as clean as a doctors office by a swimming pool. Usually fungus comes in sick clones. Or a ventilation failure.
Well then you'll will be fine. Clean it well. Ozone. Good as new. Do not breathe the fog it makes. It's always better to have a smaller plant in the tent. It will still yield really well at 3 feet tall. I find less is more. Always defoliate and spray. Keep it clean.I caused it.

Ozone? Is this a product?Well then you'll will be fine. Clean it well. Ozone. Good as new. Do not breathe the fog it makes. It's always better to have a smaller plant in the tent. It will still yield really well at 3 feet tall. I find less is more. Always defoliate and spray. Keep it clean.
Oh and a black light flashlight will make PM and all sorts of other fungus show up on your plants. So you can't catch any sick plants early.
No. You use an ozone generator and hydrogen peroxide sprayed on your surfaces. Mixed with airflow. It creates a an environment that kills everything. Don't breathe it in. Ozone machine is like 100 to 200 bucks. Very useful.Ozone? Is this a product?
You need to assess how far the bud rot has gotten before throwing the entire crop away.Hey guys, I found some mold in my tent. I was spreading apart a bud and I saw some fuzziness in the middle.
