RQS Cookies Gelato Fem.

The plants were doing well, but with high humidity and deformed buds, it was clear that this run would be ended by mold. Unfortunately, Plant #1 was the first to get mold. Luckily, it was already quite mature, so the remaining harvest can still be of high quality, though I lost two main colas. Plant #2 didn’t show clear signs as quickly. When I noticed the first brown spot on a bud, I decided to harvest it. Unfortunately, three buds already had bud rot inside. Overall, I lost about 30% per plant. Moving to the basement didn’t help much initially; I should have run the dehumidifier for a few days first. Humidity was around 60% at first but has since been lowered to just under 45%. Now that the basement is dry, I don't expect any more mold problems in my next grow. I knew this run would be rough since I only got my equipment piece by piece. One key learning is how much an EC meter helps understand the plants' needs. The Cookies strain was really easy to grow, and I’m excited to see how it tastes!
