Can anyone give me advice please,.,?.
I have done about 10 grows in 3 years and have learnt along the way , i have made mistakes which have been a great learning curve. I would call myself quite a confident grower now but with still loads to learn. I have never had a drying problem before but i think i messed up my girls right at the end. Me and my wife had to go away for three days and it happened to be on the last week of my 4 N.L XBIG BUD. girls. I have been flushing them with clean water for the last two weeks and would have chopped them before i went away, but with dryings issues of close inspection and smell i decided to leave them still in thier pots in the tent giving them 3 days darkness, when i came back and turned the lights on i was relieved to see them looking ok with no signs of condensation or rot. Next day i set about cutting down and trimming everything still seemed fine. I hung them up and left them happy but on my return the next day i had some bud rot in the end i had to cut off all the buds from the stem losing some of the bud. I have since cut every bit of black damp bud out and now the buds are in smallish bits in a brown paper bag in the tent. I realise that all the water they drew up in the last to weeks was still abundant in the stem and flowers and leaving them in the darkness for 3 days is my biggest mistake of my growing career. But they were grown organic and some of the bud looks ok. any advice by anybody would be a great help i am sure. Many thanks.
