Beginner takes on 4x Sweet Seeds Speed Auto

NEAR MISS DESASTER ... .. struck this week on my grow. I think my tent was a) to full (5 ladies) b) it got VERY rainy over here and it was hard to get humidity below 65% or VPD above 0.8. c) I had used a microscope, which needs to touch the cola to inspect (bad imho). On lady #2 (of four) I realized somehting funny was going on. Within days the leaves on the main cola started to get VERY brittle and dry and fell off. Within 2-3 days, the color changed dramatically (see photos). So I inspected this and other plants and it was f***ing mould - Botrytis. I decided to remove the two infected plants (#1 and #2) from the tent and harvest those early - AFTER I removed the infected parts thoroughly and generously. Lucky me it seems I was pretty early with my detection and I "only" had to remove the main colas on both plants. All side colas were fine though not 100% ripe yet I think. Better than nothing. Nice effect: There are now only 3 ladies left in the tent and all 3 have plenty space. Humidity stays below 60% and VPD is stable at slightly above 1.0. Should be fine now... Other than that: I will harvest lady #4 next week (started to flush her). Lady #3 will get her sweet time and ripe on. PS: Growdiaries fucks up my temperatures repeatedly ... dunno y.
