This was a great week! Transplanted all the plants into 5 gallon fabric pots, started up the Spider Farmer SE3000 light about 24 inches above at 40% strength, and watered every 2-3 days with 6.5 PH water. Growth is good and no issues so far. I will increase the light strength by 10% per week. I plan to start nutrients next week.
My critical cure has some of the smaller leaves near and in the buds which are starting to turn rusty brown. Is this a starting sign of bud rot? Should I cut them early?
I do not see anything abnormal under the microscope or when separating the large buds by hand. Thanks!
As someone who has been experiencing a LOT of bud rot this humid summer, I can tell you I don't see any signs that you've got it... the rusty leaves would actually be DEAD leaves, not just discolored, if it WAS bud rot - and if you don't see or feel or smell anything out of the ordinary, I think you're in the clear and can breathe a sigh of relief.
Just make sure you have really GOOD airflow through your plants (which are stunning, btw).
Good luck!
