im not the best person to rate this stuff simply because of the amout I do use.most of the few that have tried this stuff quits after a few hits kickin there butts---I wish it was like that with me.i smoke 10 to 15 joints a day---if I don't work away from home that day I start with coffee and a fat one on my porch--me and mother nature---then its every few hours to keep my buzz--till I turn in with a fat one!!!my tolarence is terrible!!!!for how many years--since 1968!!!!someone could smoke me!!!

OMG! :clap: FINALLY someone that smokes as much as me :dance: now I'm not feeling alone.... It seems no matter size of my harvest it all last me about the same time... I've yet to get bud rot or see it, unfortunately on tapatalk right now and pictures won't load... Definetly got to look into that as of lately since the hot weather I've seen my RH at some points go to 52-55% which from my understanding is when bud rot can occur...
So thanks for the updates littleT killing it as usual!

budrot can happen from spraying the plants too much, they never dry out in the middle of the buds= bud rot ..trust me I know it can happen it happened to me!.. hence I never spray my plants anymore.. you can just cut the bud off and continue the grow

i never spray plants during budding however we had 13 days of wet moist weather --rainy every day during end of budding so they would not dry out---of corse they were grown outside

What dragon(s?) showed bud rot and what was the outdoor weather like?

To understand bud rot is to master bud rot. The RH where I am today is 95%, it mostly is. It is a cold damp climate where lichen hangs from the trees. Fortunately, it is also a fairly windy climate. Bud rot is the maryjane name for it commonly known as gray mould. It is everywhere in the environment, feeding on dead plant matter. It's spores settle on the surface film of liquid on the leaves. They feed on dead material such as the brown pistils on the flowers. Once established, they necrotise the surrounding living tissue for food. A damp windless period means the leaves never dry out and provide a breeding ground for the fungus. Exactly the same conditions cause potato plants to blight.

Indoors bud rot is beaten by cutting away rotting material and increasing air flow. The fans must remain on after the dark switch to evaporate condensing dew. Outside, there is little to be done. Any number of fungicidal sprays could be used. However bud rot comes fast. You can go from buds to mush in a couple of days. This makes mould resistant varieties obligatory in such climates. The highly potent variety adapted to the Californian deserts will probably rot in this climate. Clearly a windy hillside is going to be better than a hollow full of still air as a grow spot.

That's why we need more landraces in the genepool, instead of using generation upon generation of indoor cultivars. I'm experimenting with some swedish outdoor-only strains that didn't rot untill they've been in constant rain for two/three weeks at a temperature of below 20C. However, these are just semi-auto's and what I need is full auto that's fungi resistant as well. Every year I'm getting closer.

I've only had this problem slightly on one bud on an indoor grow. I know why though, moved this one plant on its own for a few days and forgot to turn the dehumidifier on. Thankfully only a small part was affected.

Growing outdoors in the uk is like mission impossible with the crap weather we get.
