Today was a sad and moldy day

Most of the big buds of my white widow has minor signs of bud rot..

I am saying minor cause you cant see them, its not even close to what I see in articles, no outer sign, and even this is only in small part of the bud, I have to search for it.

But when I break a big bud some of them has this inside.. I can't see it with my eyes, but when magnify it..

This is so sad, and I probably waited too long to cut them, almost 13 weeks since flip...
I toss most of the buds, save some clean small buds, and I am not jarring them, put them in a bag (they are dry now)


humidity was perfect - 35%
temperature was perfect - 25c
feeding was good, no signs of issues
watering was perfect
2 fans, 2 in vent, 1 exhaust fan

It was going well and I grow white widow before without any issues..

I should have cut it 3 weeks ago.. who cares about get it ripen to the max when you get mold..
I am not a pro, and its for self use, so I can manage with early harvest if that's what happens if I wait too much.
Not saying this is the reason! but for a non pro, its hard as there where no external signs...

Advice?

I have a second round harvest to do, h2o2 wash can help of the other plants to avoid issues?
I harvest partial and I checked, all other (dry) buds from the other plants are clean, but I need to finish harvest
Should I wash them with h2o2? it will help?

Next time - only 2 plants with scrog, small buds is the way to go for me in a small tent.

Love

I wondered whether you had wind-simulation fan? If so, what's its on-off schedule?

BTW - bud so clear from the outside, make me wonder how many of us even notice that.. I am a bit paranoid and had mold before, so I always break buds and check for it, but how many times we smoked this before?

I use to buy weed on the street, what are the chances that I never had this even minor in the buds..

In a way, in every bud that you don't break there is a pontial for a minor amount like this, no?

Fan in each side of the tent, creating kind of a wind circle
Not sure what is wind-simulation fan..

I just mean something that blows reasonably hard across the plants. I've noticed in many growers setups, from pics posted here, they have large fans above the canopy. In mine, I have a monkey fan, pole mounted, pointed horizontally across the tops of the pots but under the canopy. It runs 4 hours per day, it goes on for 1 hour every 6 hours. I have 2 other small computer-type fans, one a tent exhaust fan, the other a top to bottom fan, both of which run continuously.

Good advice, next time..

Thanks

Oscillating fans are good as it's not a continuous air movement on any 1 bud, I have 1 osc fan and another stationary fan to hit any buds that are too close to the osc fan, mold is a real bitch have a lost plenty of buds in the past due to it

How did you deal with it?
Toss full plant or throw only the effected buds?
I checked all buds, mold was seen only on microscop and only on the big buds.. I lost about 50 grams (dry) from this plant, considering what to do with the clean buds. Not sure I want to vape it, even that I sure have vaped worse black market weed in the past...

Thinking about decarb the rest and make edibles, what do you think?
It clean also under the microscope, just the same plant
