dony get fucked with mold

never payed attention to humidity, until i had a bud that weighed 5 ounces !!!! seen mold growing from the inside out, now its worthless ill throw it onto a bbq lol for s how about all i can do , people pay attention wile flowering dont learn the hard way

Same thing happened to me, except mine was a whole plant of giant buds! Now, if I have to choose, I err on the dry side.

steps i took i bought a big ass dehumidifier , and i have 7 fans running, i got humity at 60 % now trying to get it to 50 and useing very little water to just keep plant alive during last few days of flowering, yeah i seen the big bud mold and i was pissed but hopefully saved all my outher plants from the evil mold with the steps im takeing

After:

Those who live where it can be humid - avoid those strains described so well as having "hard dense nugs" or some such. Meaning most indicas or indica-heavy strains.

the strain that got fucked was kc braids, cyber crystal northern lights skunk holding

I started flowering about 8 weeks ago, and was just closing up the tent at night. Well, I realized the humidity was getting up to 90% at night and I asked here in the forum if 30% humidity during the day would keep the bud from getting moldy even if it went to 90% at night.

I got shouted down with a resounding NO! So I ordered a dehumidifier on Amazon (I'm in the northeast and the stores only have humidifiers right now). And now I suck the humidity out of the tent at night. I did not want to spend another $140, but I just thought if I fucked up now, I'd want to kill myself after all this work and expense.

I don't see any mold, or smell it. But I'm still worried I'll cut a bud open later and see it all gray and nasty.

same happened to me once. very sad day it was. GL

Yup that happened to me first grow too... Got a meter now
