Hello, we have mold issues now.
Short description of our grow:
Thanks!
Short description of our grow:
- greenhouse
- hydroponics
- stem cell&lemon kush strains
- it all started from dead plants - they were all covered in a mold which further infected other plants
- only the oldest flowering plants are infected (which has only 1 week before harvest, younger plants at the middle-flower stage are untouched)
- I see that mold is infecting the following areas:
- damaged regions of a stem (1 image)
- where one plant lays on the other
- I think it is too much to have 4 plants in one Rockwool mat (this white bag), we will put 3 plants per mat next time
- our greenhouse's roof is leaking. One week ago I've noticed some flowers are wet
- Every day I am cutting the molded parts of the plants
- I've isolated the plants (video) - moved all the 33 bags (4 plants each) to a nearby greenhouse. Mold continues to develop
- I will support some of them that tend to lower or lean on the neighboring plants so there is better ventilation
- I will apply a chemical called Topsin... unwillingly
- there was a situation where our plants were watered with plain water for a week. We are growing in hydroponics Could it be related to the mold issues? Like lowering the immunity or so?
- I see some flowers are ready to harvest. I plan to work with anti-mold chemicals on them (though unwillingly). How much time should it pass before I can harvest? Any information I should know about using chemicals for cannabis?
- What could I do with the molded area of the stem? Or just cut below it and there is no other "shortcut"?
- if I stop watering them could it help to stop the mold?
- Is there a point to put fans all around them or they will just hasten the spore migration from plant to plant? When I shake a very molded area - I see a lot of spores dusting around.
- Could mold be developed because our kids are overripened? Some sugar leaves are dry, stigmas are also.
- Should I harvest ripened plants, those without signs of infections? But if they are infected they will mold during the drying process.
Thanks!
