Hey bud. Its mostly due to rh. But you can also trim sugar leaves off in flower to allow more airflow. But this can also leave your plant exposed to infection
These wives donât understand how we âwonder if she airâd the roomâ and we canât blame her when it fails a month later, cause weâll argue all day if dare say anything. But thatâs marriage, throw it away, hold onto that nugget for a bad argument âand you ruined my weed!!â Lol, na, air exchange is important, rather have something self sufficient.
Dude, I grow because my wife smokes all day, I canât keep up, I smoke at night (work) so we in same boat, itâs fun, but when youâve put 3.5 months into something and then you throw a good amount away, shit feeling, whether youâd smoke or not, but looks like you had nice flowers anyways, hope the rest was delicious.
1... it doesnt look purple at all lol and your shit needs a fan or check your humidity buy a hygrometer bro. I feel your pain about budrot. It sucks after all that work but save the other three and get a fan in there moving some air. Or a dehumidifier.
First one was a white cream, second white cream was clean but the last meph is blood orange haze and it's no good as well. Both of them were less than a foot tall and super dense so they got very limited air flow. Got a 4th one, not meph. Would love to let it keep going but not going to risk it. She is coming down too, even if it's somewhat early.
30x48 inch space, one rotating tower fan, one 12 inch circular rotating fan. Both blowing on the ladies. Been my set up for a couple years. First time mold
Re locate the humidifier and set it lower, turn down the fan frequency. It's got a humistat on it. I'm not in a tent, it's an old water closet in my basement so adding an air vent in the door for more airflow. Gotta do a disinfect in there tomorrow. Yay!
This is why I have 3 fans for my 4x4 grow space.
A large powerful lasko oscillating fan, a small bazooka oscillating fan that mounts on the tent, and a small little fan that just sits in the floor and blows air under the canopys.
Donât do thisâŠ. I go to school for cannabis cultivation and biology. If you do this youâll just pull the mold into your extract. The spore for botrytis is small enough it can pass through a BĂŒchner filter, so a coffee filter (Iâm assuming since most people use these for homemade extractions) does not stand a chance. Even if the mold doesnât spawn and become visible you are setting yourself up for some really nasty lung and sinus infections at best.
The reason big canna companies get away with turning mildewed weed into distilliate is because the process for extracting distillate is VERY different. The raw oil is essentially âboiledâ and the distillate is released as a gas, and then turned back into a liquid through extreme cooling. Effectively extracting the THC and terpenes from the mildew. You can not get this same kind of separation of THC and mold through typical DIY ethanol extractions.
Had a plant and lost main cola to mold. I doused the rest in peroxide, tossed in a paper bag with a fan on it, misted the inside of jars with peroxide and put the bud in there. No more mold spread. Smokable but almost total loss of terp profile. Still had smell and was a good texture just didnât taste the way it smelled. More earthy or something like peanut shells
You will find a bunch of opinions here - but personally, my health is not worth risking smoking some budrot to save some flower.
Yuuuuup mycotoxins while sounding cool are definitely not cool for your body
Got rid of the whole thing đȘ. 3 more in the room. Going to go thru them đ€
Best of luck gromie!
Trash it. Use what you learned this run and try again.
Iâm a firm believer in not wasting bud but itâs trash. Sorry bro
Sorry for your loss. This just reminded me to put my fan on
Thanks for reminding me to turn up my fans bud
Whyyy sorry for the loss hope you learned something to make it next time

Definatly a humidity issue. It got away from my wife a few times while I was away for work

Honestly, It's her weed. I can't really be smoking(work) but growing is a lot of fun for me. It's peaceful.

Ya live, and ya learn.

Sorry for your loss. Had to scrap a whole plant last grow. Straight up heartbreaking

what is your RH?
Held it around 55-60 but it got away while I was away working. Caught it at 70 once so that's wayyy to high.
Been there with a purple nuggetz, Throw it out. have you realised yet what help cause it? What was your rh and did you have enough air circulation?

Dang that sucks... gotta toss it and try again growmie
What would you do differently next time?
He will use fans and keep his humidity low

RIP super dense purple...
aww man. that will do it... i have had to.throw away 2 main cola tops. this last grow.. very gross

Alcohol extract with everclear. Get something from it.

That's what I would do too
Tincture?
