Day 5 dry weight update: 20 g

 

[Katt]

I actually think they look like that because I have the humidity so low in the tent right now for the flowering plant. I read that baby plants actually get most of their water from the leaves and not the roots. I really need to separate them from the flowering tent bc of the humidity, just don’t have a place for them at the moment.

So water the plastic cups before transplant and try to pull all soil and plant out as one?

here is the updated chart

Here is today’s weight update. Seems almost dry, but small stems are not yet snapping. I guess this has dried slow enough... it is day 6.

Am I safe into the drying zone? I just turned up the fan in the dry tent to 80%, had been running it at 40-50% speed (6" fan 420 cfm). I want to try to get it to final dry soon, need to move the tent.

are the stems snapping?

at the point you are I put in jars with the lids off/open bags and start the curing

 

[HighestCut]

Stems aren’t quite snapping. So I cranked up the fan... they are close I think tonight I will final trim and jar cure.

here is the dry weight of the plant, I was very happy with it. After I stunted the plant with water issues and topped an autoflower twice before finding out it was an auto.

buds were very thick and dense.

Damn, I have to toss some of the big ass famous cola (that ending up at a stout 17g).

Doing finaldry trim and opened the top of it to find this :( No mold throughout the whole grow, I guess it was too fat.

This is trash huh?

Bud rot. Almost always starts in the middle. I wouldn't smoke it. It can also spread in a dank bag during cure.

Got it. Thinking back I do t even know if I could have avoided it.. I think that flower just got to wide and no air circ could reach it anymore.

what do y’all think?

 

[Beachwalker]

Wow sorry to see that! Personally I'd tossed it all but I have respiratory issues, so you might be able to save it? I would wait to see what others say cuz I've never dealt with it but you're right air flow is a major thing, I have two 9 inch high velocity fans on the floor of my flower tent 24/7 and one in veg

That has happened in the drying process. If it was in the growing process, it literally only takes a few days to turn buds to slime. It spreads really quickly under the right conditions.

If i had to guess a decaying leaf stem is the culprit.

 

[HighestCut]

I broke it up and there were some parts with zero mold, so save a tiny bit of it and keeping that separate from everything else... Threw the rest of it away.

@HeLLfiReZ great idea, i will check for small decaying leaves throughout the dry next time. A small loss, but it was from the plant's "trophy" cola haha.

 

[HighestCut]

This is so crazy! 6 week photos of my first grow and second. First grow did not know I had autos and I topped the plant twice..

 

[HeLLfiReZ]

I repost these pics, to help you spot rot earlier next time it happens. Those spots would look suspect to me.

Thanks for the tips Hellfirez! I think next time I might get a drying rack and do complete wet trim to separate the buds. It is 70-90% humidity here all the time.
