Bud Rot

[Nutty sKunK]

So it happened. Got my first case of bud rot growing outdoors. Got wet and warm for a while and was left in a greenhouse overnight with little ventilation.

lesson learned I guess. Now I believe I caught it early as the effected sites only had a couple calyxes worth of rot. I removed the rot and effected bud sites.

Now she has about 3-4 weeks left of flowering and I really want to see them through.

Ive fixed the issues that caused the mold - is that enough for it to stop coming back? Basically should I harvest now or keep her going or am I always going to be battling rot?

Cheers

if you fixed the conditions that caused it, IMO that is the most important thing, but if you’ve truly got botrytis it could potentially be inside any/all buds now, so just keep an eye out. Budrot spores can make you really sick, so keep her dry and soil dry and warm until your harvest window opens...might put her outside instead of the greenhouse to make sure of air flow. Finally, if one plant has it, all might, so watch out....bud-rot from botrytis and caterpillar-caused budrot are the lamest issues ever, watching your giant buds turn brown or black and slimy is heartbreaking. Hang in there and good luck...keep it dry!

Do you have any fans or a dehumidifier in the GH?
There are a few types of fans you can use in there. Some are installed in the wall, others hang from the ceiling inside a cage.
If you already have fans, might need a dehumidifier.

Yeah read it’s nasty stuff. Just the one plant fortunately so not going to infect any others.

She is usually outside just spends her nights in the greenhouse - so gonna keep her indoors for the nights now.

Think I’ll just keep the plant indoors for nighttime as from now on.
