How? Is there a way to tell?If you have a Loupe, scope it under 10x mag and you will know instantly.
I’d check a healthy bud first, this way you know how it should look healthy, then the bad bud and if it appears fuzzy or anything not “normal”, cut it off. First, bag it before cutting, so you don’t spread any spores.How? Is there a way to tell?
Good suggestion for veg! Though I wouldn’t use a bicarbonate in flower, don’t want to smoke that stuff, It leaves a residue. also the mildew will be inside the bud as well, and it’s impossible to spray inside themSaw this in a thread earlier about mold.
Get potassium bicarbonate 1-2 tsp mix with ½ gallon of water and ½gallon of straight (no camphor or other additives) 70% isopropyl alcohol. Spray everything. Potassium bicarbonate will raise the ph of the surface of the plant and help prevent fungal infections. It won't hurt the buds.
Good luck friend!
High humidity
Hey guys, I hope this finds you well. Hey guys, um these past few weeks there has been constant rain where I live. I have a cheap hygrometer and well seems like when it rains humidity inside my tent reaches around 68%, and my hygrometer has a 5% error so it is (63% , 73%). which is a too much...www.rollitup.org
Yeah trichomes will be shiny with a circular head on them while the mold will not be shiny and you will easily be able to tell the difference. Mold grows like cobwebs almost, completely random pattern of fuzzy shit.How? Is there a way to tell?
This is exactly it! What most growers run into that can cause severe mold problems is the rapid temperature change from the light turning off. What happens is the change in temperature upon thermal regulated objects such as a pot of soil that continues to hold heat, while the fans, tent, leafs, etc. Rapidly cool, as well as cold air being blown on hot leafs.This creates much condensation! To avoid this, most run major changes like this at the most homeostasis time. This in turn will reduce such a rapid temperature change between objects, potentially decreasing the possibility of water droplets that need to be removed, mostly from air movement to the dehumidifier if available. The idea is to create an environment that doesn't fluctuate drastically and slowly decrease temps as a whole. The same can be said for lights on...Bummer! Growing here spring and summer in the Northeast mold is always an issue. One thing to watch for is when your lights go off and temps drop, the RH will spike and that can trigger mold. I run my AC during the day and my dehumdi's at night. Another option is switching up your lighting schedule so lights are on at night, off during day... that can help in summer months. I switched my plants up last summer from a daytime light schedule to nighttime - I switched it up in one day and the plants didn't seem to skip a beat.
