Ok heres the situation, On day 58 of a 62 day flowering cycle I noticed a small bit of PM spores on a couple lower limbs. I decided to chop the crop whille the pm was only showing in a few lil spots.
While chopping the crop down I payed real close attention so I could spot and remove any buds with pm forming on the leafs. I found about 4 leafs with pm dust(about half a dime size spot) on a total of 6 plants. I found a few buds that were attached to the leafs that i had found pm allso had a lill pm forming on them, so i clipped off the entire bud and discarded them with the leaf material.
I trimmed all the buds real close leaving no leaf material. I understand that PM can still take hold and spread as the nugs are drying. I also understand that wind spreads the spores around so I turned all my fans off and now only the scrubber/exhuast is on. So heres my question: My temps were at 75 F/ 50% rh, i flipped my a/c on to bring the temp down to 69 F/ 40% humidity. I figure the lower the humidity the harder it's gonna be for PM to spread, but I'm also worried that with no airmovement in the drying process might cause other molds. So whats the best option for me in your opinion?
I've talked with a few people that have battled pm before and they tell me since it wasn't an abundant amount of pm and just a little bit that i found, I chopped everything away, trimmed the buds real close etc. that I shouldn't worry about it and it'll be fine, but they also reccomended no fans just incase. I may be worrying about nothing but i've never dealt with this before and i can't find any info on the net reguarding controlling the spread of pm during the dry cycle.
