Bud rot happens with big buds. Advances rapidly. Once you find it that yield is only going down. Which is why my solution is to trim it immediately. Break down every bud. Discard any sick buds. Scissor trim it. Dry it with fans on it. Quick dry. Lots of people will advise advise to do this and that. Not worth it. If it develops bud rot get a new cultivar for the next grow. Bud rot is so fast. You can still save a lot of it if you start now. Longer you wait the further the sickness spreads. At least 2" of material above and below rot has to be discarded. But.... verify your bud rot with an image first.
Well. It happens. A basic 5x5 with a 600w and a fan setup isn't that much money. You can drop a couple pounds in it. And with a supplemental 2x4 tent you can pre veg and have 5 or 6 crops a year. Easily do it for under 500. Simple 1 part and some promix. Budget grows work.
Thank you! I’ve seen the tent prices and I can do that. I will need exhaust though as I live in the downstairs apartment (cheaply) & mom, who also uses medicine and concentrated CBD will not go for big odor. lol. She does have a few rules. But she’s given the ok as long as I pay the uptick in utility.
The basement is ideal. And just run your fresh air in from a window. Build a box to mount furnace filters to. And draw through that. Plus the CO2 levels might be better down there. How high is the roof? And can you put the 5x5 down there and keep the 2x4 in another room? Easier to do that.
I could put the 2x4 in another room yes. But I’d need a whole other set up for it, right? Lights, exhaust? I need to do everything I can to keep all costs low. I’ll have to check the ceiling but at least 8 feet I would guess. There is a room upstairs I’ve also been given permission to use, after, and only after I sell her treadmill which is in there. lol. The thing about the basement is the furnace is off most of the day as we have wood stoves for heat. I’m in the NE so I can’t use the cold air from outside, right? There are windows to be used. I know one will be an exhaust. If I say something that makes zero sense it’s the novice in me. I’m here to learn and know many of you can and will teach/help.
The smaller 2x4 uses a lot less costly fan and lights. And you use it to get the plants ready to go into the 5x5. You don't need to do it. But it saves you 35% or more on time. And let's you have a mother to clone from. Thats all. Seeds and a 5x5 are plenty for the most part. I use an Inkbird temperature controller. They're a sponsor here. You can hook that to the fan and it can draw in cool air from outside to cool things down. And if it's too cold it will shut off the fan. It can also run a small heater. (The smallest kind).I could put the 2x4 in another room yes. But I’d need a whole other set up for it, right? Lights, exhaust? I need to do everything I can to keep all costs low.

Indoors can be done for a good price. I spent about 200$ for this little 2x2 setup. Currently have 3 lemon kush clones under a kingbrite 240 watt led.
Ok thats not bad at all. You can easily get that.
. Will be hard at first but once the first crop is in, and cured, I’ll be good. Going to look at these products. Quick unrelated question… is this more rot or just brown pistils?
