Scared of MOLD - How can I tell before it's too late?

Discussion in 'First Time Marijuana Growers' started by Liflow, Jan 17, 2008.

  1. Hi everyone. First time, middle of week 6 of flower on my White Rhino and things are looking gorgeous but I'm scared of getting mold / bud rot. My bathroom is directly next to it and my climate is fairly humid. (Have no idea of RH but I'm sure it's up there)

    I detected a faint change in the smell today. Went from smelling sharp and citrus-pinetree-ish to a hint of a musk. Is this natural progression of bud maturity or is it possible I'm getting some mold? How can I tell?

    I can't afford a dehumidifier, so I guess I'd just cut her down if things start to go wrong but I don't know...

    Am I just being paranoid? I've pretty much screwed everything up so far it just amazing I've got the 6-7 inch x 2 inch DENSE colas I've got.

    Thanks in advance!
     
  2. just keep air flwo (fan), just dont overwater, that's the first thing that will give you mold
     
  3. Yes I agree, keep air flow constant even during the dark period. Do not water and leave too much run off to evaporate into the air. if humidity is really a problem get several boxes of baking soda with the side panels, open them up and place in your grow area this will absorb a good amount of moisture.
     
  4. No more showers! :D
     
  5. I forgot to mention... it's a 5-gal bubbler bucket. So overwatering isn't going to be a problem :D But I wonder if the bubbles passing through the water could be adding humidity as well.... I have a large fan constantly blowing and an exhaust pulling air out of the room.... (which probably means it pulls the humid air from the bathroom after I shower)...

    No more showers! :hello:
