Earlier in the week, I saw a discolored bud, and upon closer inspection, I found bud rot. Ugh. I immediately cut off the infected bud and the one closest to it.
I looked through the canopy but couldn't see any more affected buds.
Right after, I went out of town for a few days to Mary Jane, the big Cannabis Conference in Berlin.
It was the first one after legalization, and it was wild. I had an awesome time, and it was great to meet up with friends while in Berlin.
What wasn't so great was seeing more signs of budrot when I returned homeβthose days of +85% humidity at the start of last week made the botrytis go brr. Sigh :(
Checking the trichomes showed it was still early to harvest, but I decided to chop anyway to save the unaffected buds.
I also decided to hang each branch separately, as it would allow me to inspect each one closely to ensure no affected buds made it into the drying tent. Another reason is to decrease the drying time. Usually, I prefer a long dry, but due to botrytis, I aim to speed up the process.
Overall, I found 12-15 affected buds, and of course, they're always the nicest-looking buds.
I don't care about the yield loss, as more than enough is still left. I only hope the remaining buds are unaffected, and I'll inspect them daily throughout the dry.
Now we wait. And hope.
@StarLorr, Right?! So pretty. No clue if it is due to the low temps or the UV. I suspect the UV more than the temps, to be honest. The mom plant experienced lower temps and never turned purple.
@Still_Smoq, Thank you :) I travel frequently, so I need a system that cares for the girls while I'm gone. The last piece of the puzzle I need is a camera to remotely monitor them.
What happen π
be honest you are sleeping in the tent π
Its called camping under the stars.
And I can see there in the last row the 2nd from left is a bit missing of the bud , you did snack it in secret π²
