bud rot

Discussion in 'Growing Marijuana Indoors' started by hatmat, Jul 23, 2020.

  1. found atleast 3 sites of advanced budrot, gray web and ooze... I need to get dehumidifier but issue is sorted for the most part i believe since i don't close the rooms door anymore... it's about 40% RH in the room and 50% when i havent watered... 56% RH after watering at tent floor

    harvested it within 24h of discovering moldy bud branch, discovered that main cola was affected too when i harvested. Threw clearly infected area and surrounding buds to in the trash and inspected and put to dry healthy bits from main cola. it's been drying for over 24h I didn't know and have ingredients and enough clean buckets for bud wash... only thing i do have is baking soda. i sanitazed sciccors with some sureair antibac and been cleaning table that i inspect the buds at with it and tent floor after watering. i have seen couple small flies but its 2 weeks to harvest on the rest, so i dont think i can try biobizz leafcoat, in future i will keep dehumidifier in the room that the tent is at atleast. RH lower and more sanitized tent before i grow anything again. and try to discard all dead leafs and clean runoff best i can.

    they have been drying for over 24h, maybe it's too late to wash them but i read this

    Inactivation of conidia of Botrytis cinerea and Monilinia fructigena using UV-C and heat treatment - ScienceDirect
    "No surviving spores of B. cinerea were observed after 15 min at 45 °C or an UV-C treatment of 1.00 J/cm2."

    perhaps i should pop them in the oven to atleast deactive spores, some suggest throwing the whole plant away while some salvage some so i am unsure what to do this, i might store the healthy buds in a jar but im still sketched about either vaping it or smoking healthy stuff from this plant or grow...

    I am also bit sketched out about the salvaged bud since i am not sure of the distance that i cut it out from the mold, i'd like to think 1-2 inches away, but could have fucked up.

    i think i would have inspected all the buds and washed them under tap atleast before setting to dry atleast but guess its too late for that.
     
  2. and i guess i am going to get uv torch/black light to detect any fungus/mold and buckets, h202 (12%) from garden grow shop, lemon juice and baking soda for i believe doc. buds washing method if i want to do that...
     
  3. That humidy level isnt all that high. Surprised you got rot. Any chance you had caterpillars? Anyway, I dont think id wash after they started drying. I do wash buds (outdoors), and I think it's beneficial, but probably not after 24 hours. Also, i would NOT put them in the oven. Just try to be super diligent. Take a close look at each bud for rot. You definitely dont want any spores getting into your jars!
     
  4. Im not saying spraying them with 5x butane will make it any better if you decided to turn them into shatter.
    But one of my friends did that when he fucked up a harvest.
