hey edux 10....Ive never had a problem with bud rot. Always had high Rh since i started. At first it was because thats what it was(exhaust to small) but now i always try for it.
Yeah i use a sulfer burner but cut it after about week two..when bud sites start...dont wanna be smoking that...but the burner is more for pm....but more as preventative so i never have it. Same as treating plants for bugs organicily before they get them. Part of the routine. I've had about every problem there is so now i just make sure i never have them agian. ALot less work in the long run.
As far as bud rot only strains i ever see a little on are blueberry strains and crosses but i never really run those any more. But if i every saw it it was only minor. Maybe 1/8 worth per 1k. Chems and Kushes are so frosty and resin coated i dont think anything can get to them. why smoke anything else? Resin is a shield.
Also i have alot of fans going above and equal with the containers. The fans at the base level will kill any attempt by bugs. they get sucked through and blown away. One time i was gone from my room for a while and came back to a few nats flying around but looking on the floor close the the fans just under the plant buckets was a graveyard of dead bugs. The population can never take off and get out of control. Plus fans make stems and everything stronger for when the buds get heavy.
I let the temps get up to about 85...as long as the plants arent getting burned by the lights. you every been to the tropics???
Also for years i always had slow starts getting them going. RH was low because plants barely perspire. Now i do my best to keep it as high as possible in veg but ussually can only get about 50. I need a better humidifier but 50 is fine. Id love to see what 70rh does in veg.
I do cut rh and temp down the last week to finish them off. Along with nutes and sometimes shorter days.
hope this helps
