    Bored At Home: First grow ever (outdoors, bag seed, attempting organic/living soil)

    Ended up chopping old girl on Friday, after I found another spot of bud rot on a lower and the forecast had two days of constant drizzle coming up. I’m gonna guess I’m only looking at 1-2oz smokeable bud, maybe just as much of the looser N-burnt buds to use for hash/edibles though. Did a baking...

    Chop before rain? Week 10ish

    Trust me, I’m at full paranoia, poking through the buds with a chopstick levels of alarm right now, ever since I found the first bit of rot. I just scored a day off tomorrow through a bargain with my coworker, so I might just get some buckets and a wardrobe box, chop, wash and hang tonight...

    4 Auto strains 2nd time ever grow after massive failure on 1st!

    He never said the GSC he revegged was auto. I’m guessing they weren’t since they revegged

    Question about trimming

    Even if a low branch is producing buds, if the buds aren’t getting good light through the top canopy, they’re not gonna do much. Removing those can focus the plant’s energy on the tops. Or just keep em and use the larf for edibles/hash

    Chop before rain? Week 10ish

    Forgot to mention, rains ended up coming at some point in the early morning anyways, woke up to the plant nice and damp. Gave her a shake but not much surface water, she’s nice and evenly coated. Love to see it! Gonna put a fan on her when I get home this afternoon and hope for the best

    Am i ready for harvest? 1st grow.

    Congrats on making it to harvest! Early or not, you made it from seed to buds, I’m sure that’s gotta be a good feeling. I’m right at the cusp for harvest on my first right now too, trying to hold off against nature like you’ve been

    Chop before rain? Week 10ish

    You think spraying is a good idea at this point? My biggest concern right now is definitely keeping the plant dry, if the thrips won’t kill the plant in a few days’ time then I’ll just do a h2o2/baking soda dunk when I harvest I did make an impromptu rain cover for the last all-day rainstorm...

    Chop before rain? Week 10ish

    Thankfully forecast has cleared up for tomorrow and it seems like probability for rain is dropping for the next few days. The gods have taken pity. Now I just have to kill these damn thrips :wall:

    Chop before rain? Week 10ish

    The right mix of sustained higher humidity and cool temps can cause bud rot spores to germinate and spread like crazy, and I got some on this plant after the last rains. I did a half-ass job covering it then and may have actually just confined some of the humidity that got in, so I might spring...

    Chop before rain? Week 10ish

    Yeah it’s in a 20gal fabric pot, kind of a pain but it can def be done. Does the fact that I found some rot on it after the last rains make it more likely that it’ll show up worse after another storm? I covered the plant with a makeshift canopy but it still got some sideways rain past that

    Chop before rain? Week 10ish

    Bump! if the recommendation is to chop before the rain comes then I may have to do it tonight, looking at showers in the morning right now. Honestly terrified of losing my only decently dense colas to rot. I really appreciate any input

    Chop before rain? Week 10ish

    I don’t know exactly when this plant started flowering but I first saw buds August 4. If I treat that as week 1, I’m in week 8 right now. If I take the internet’s word for it that buds don’t show til week 2-3 of flower, then I’m at week 10-11. The plant is very Sativa in appearance. Some of the...

    Harvest now and cut my losses?

    TL;DR at bottom I have a bag seed outdoor plant that’s getting sorta close to peak harvest right now (from what I can tell), but I have a few factors pushing me to maybe harvest early to save as much yield as I can (this is my first grow and my only flowering plant). I first noticed small hairy...

    Extremely early bud rot?

    Thanks, I knew I may just be paranoid when I posted the thread, but I’m on hyper alert now that I found rot on the plant earlier. I’ve only ever sprayed the plant with BT, neem, and thyme oil, occasionally with silica mixed in. Haven’t done any of them since flowering started though, but the...

    Is this rot or spider mites?

    I’m a total noob and only doing my first grow right now, but I also have pulled some rot off of my one plant today. Over my last few months reading thru these and other forums I’ve convinced myself that spraying anything on the plants at this point invites rot. Botrytis spores should be assumed...

    Is this rot or spider mites?

    If you’d cut open the dead bud from plant one, it would probably look like Plant 2a, not totally certain of that, but 2a is 100% bud rot, and you can be pretty sure all the other brown spots are the same. It’s up to you whether there’s any salvageable colas, I would probably still try...

    Need Help diagnosing this problem.

    Backed. I think I’ll like it a lot better next year once my HF/OF is used up a little and I can focus more on amendments. Still frying mine as we speak.

    Bored At Home: First grow ever (outdoors, bag seed, attempting organic/living soil)

    I have no idea what this plant is, it just came from some random pretty-dank weed I had at one point. I think she started flower early because I’m mostly in the woods, so she’s only ever gotten a few hours of direct sun per day. My backyard looks like nighttime at times where there’s still...

    Extremely early bud rot?

    I finally had a free day to really inspect the flowers of my unknown bagseed outdoor plant which is around mid-week 8 today, and found the unmistakeable beginnings of bud rot on one bud site on a low, small branch (white fluff, brown plant matter, black spots) and immediately cut off the branch...
