So, bud rot,the brown stuff taking over a little more daily, has caused me to harvest. They prob could use more time but I'm scared imma lose my crop. It's so humid and Its def spreading. So...I put them in a closet 2 days ago with fans in the dark. I was going to dry, but before I do this, am I doing all I can? My trichomes are milky and most of the pistil hairs are red, and brown. They smell great you close but then smell like grass. The ones that I plucked and removed rot, I decided to dry n cure as an experiment to see if the smell come back. It's not. Still smells like hay or grass, plant material not lot material. Lol. Any advice would help, but please help. They are so pretty and I've done so well....I was so confident and now my babies don't smell great and are spreading brown rott and one plant has fukn mites. I'm so discouraged. Please help, I'll do all I can for them

You can chop out the rotted buds and let the rest go. You need more fan action in the grow room.

My plants were outdoors.... I have cut out the spots but it seems to be on nearly every bud day by day. Are you saying to bring it back outside into the light? All my books had said better to pull the crop a little early than lose the whole thing to rot.

Were you spraying BT? Without seeing photos it kinda sounds like caterpillar related bud rot to me?

Heh, hand is in focus, but not the flower!

If you search "Bud rot" you'll find photos. That does look like bud rot to me, even out of focus, I'd carefully remove any affected flowers, sucks but better to get any affected parts off of the plant and in the trash sooner rather than later. The good news is it's likely easier to remedy (with removal) than botrytis.

BT is one of the few things people spray even late into flower. In my neck of the woods I'd regret not using it.

Looks like you have thrip damage as well. As far as putting back outside. Umm. I don’t think I would if your trying to salvage anything smokable. You don’t wanna fry what you do have left

Thrip damage?? Oh god that sounds like a venereal disease! I'll be googling that....yeah, my camera sucks. It's got moisture in the lense...lol. I try to take pics with the selfie side but it usually ends up with me making a contorted face in the background from trying to get my subject in the frame. I did have someone look at them, and they said to just harvest and I should have smokable bud. My whole house smells like a skunk.

What's BT?

Obvious, I presume, but I wouldn't smoke the budrot affected area, I'd get rid of that. The rest should be fine.

Let's see how I do with spelling, BT is Bacillum Thuringensis (or is it Thuringesis?)... a soil bacteria that affects caterpillars. Approved for organic gardening, and doesn't affect other little creatures (unlike, for example, Spinosad, a modified soil bacteria that is very effective in veg for killing insects that eat your plants, but also will kill spiders and bees so you have to be careful how you use it... though thankfully the time of day gardeners spray plants they aren't trying to kill coincides pretty well with the time of day bees aren't as active).

Yes! Thrips! That's exactly what it's been beginning to look like. It kinda happened all of a sudden, but I think s flowering plant I have on my deck might've infected it, it was close to it and now they are starting to do the same thing

I have pulled itty bitty light light green wiggly wormies now and then. But I have a vegetable garden with cruciferous veggies and they always get little wormies. I use an oil based organic pesticide on the veggies before they start and had very few this year on the vegetable garden. I have a lot of things growing in my yard. Probably over 50 annuals and perennials on top of bud, veggies and fruit (the birds and deer did a number on my edible section this season. The only pests I've had to deal with are my cats and white flies on some rotting material I ended up putting in the woods, I didn't even compost it bc they looked really infected. They were not close to my weed, but I watched close and peroxided the deck. Id say I picked off half a dozen wormies since may. I didn't really think much of it.

Well, the bud is in the closet, drying, perfuming my whole house, and I examined it yesterday and trichomes are def milky and probably a tenth of the harvest had light amber trichomes. She probably could've gone another week or two, but it was daily collecting more small issues, so I just did it. Now I hope I do not screw up the homestretch. Lol

Can we make our own Bacillus thuringiensis?
It is a bacteria and should replicate.
Can this be done?
