Grow Mediums I want to try hydro, you want to do hydro with me?

Have given them some more airmovement now... did also mist them now in the morning. Just in 12 hours the strongest plant has almost recovered.. feels like soil girls is more forgiven. From today I will never let my Temps go over 27°C. Hps-lamps is garbage if compared to Leds. Led lights gives beautiful leafs, no heat stress there.

When drying buds I have never had mold, never in my jars. Never. Only time I've seen mold on buds has been in either a fat top-bud or a low bud with no airmovement around. Normally I toss 3-4 buds of 8-12 Pounds! So it's mystersterious for me. I will not use the buds. That's nasty, I've got alot of other ones, but I was waiting for this one... I would feel bad to sort them and give away as good quality. I cant do it like that, im very correct when it comes to food. I have a fobi about dirty food, or whatever you eat, drink smoke. If i dont know where it comes from or whos made it, or if touch my food without gloves, i dont eat it. So im beeing even more careful with how i treat other peoples smoke, food, drink.
Garbage it is.... :smiley1:
Appreciate for the tips about cleaning them, but its beyond cleaning on 30% so spores will be everywhere, the mold was on the inside, closest to the stem, i bet it was because i left her waaaaay to long. It was started from the very first calyxes. Lesson learned, dont be lasy, bring the ladies down when finished

Sorry to hear about your bud mold. That sucks man. Not sure if I could advice you to do right steps to prevent it in future but I tend to cut larger buds and colas into smaller pieces so they wont hold as much moisture inside of them, then give them about 12 hours of drying in an open rack and then follow with brown bag method from there on.

Yeah that cupping of the leaves is typical when the plant has trouble with the humidity / heat stress. Usually happens to younger plants. I'd just raise the RH for some time and perhaps take the lights bit higher if they are blasting with heat. I am not sure if air circulation affects too much in this case, increasing it is a good idea if the canopy is exposed to more heat, but to me this seems more of low RH related problem. Seems you got it under control bro

Thanks medgrower! I think will try to really raise the RH, will use both my humidifiers and mist around the girls a couple times a day, not at the leafs but around then so the water evaporate from the lights. I think me beeing busy reading and focusing on ppms, roots and forgot the RH% wich is very important in younger ages. Its easy to forget the small, yet very important things.

The buds we did cut to smaller ones before drying. And i always leave the bags open for 2 days to let the alot of water evaporate quick so i dont risk getting mold. Think i will look into some spray and spray all area.

Okey so the reason the girls were twisting their leafs and couldnt moist their leafs is clear... root rot. So im pretty sad.
Ill have a whisky and think of how i will proceed... im not doing a save, the girls will loose to much, go big or go home
Will order hydroguard, thats step number 1. Doing it right away.

Does it smell really bad when you smell the reservoir and the roots?

 

[Journey Man]

No, thats the thing, it smells good. I smelled the roots, if any smell i would say they smell like a touch of fresh soil.

No, thats the thing, it smells good. I smelled the roots, if any smell i would say they smell like a touch of fresh soil.

Then I would say its not root rot since it stinks of death. You have good temps and oxygenation. Give us pictures of this and lets see if its just tanning from nutes or something else. I have always tan and even black spots due to nutrients and kelp etc.

But regardless I think it is really good idea to get hydroguard, enzymeproducts and such. Nothing like using those to prevent anything like rot taking place!

 

[Journey Man]

Then its slime, i know its beyond any chance to save. My temps are the bad guy, or acsually its me not taking care of the girls environment.

Can get a real close-up so you can see the shiny slime, i have already accept it.

This, this is like a warning and how roots not should look like, no wounder my girls couldnt breath or drink.
