Very good head high with a good body buzz. Made me take a nap towards the end of the high. Made some delicious scissor hash as well

Very sad day today. It is the end of week 7 and I discovered bud rot on the main cola of one plant. I immediately took it out of the tent and cut the top cola off and discarded it. I decided that the spores may already be spreading so I didn't want to risk losing all my crop so I harvested the rest of my plants. This is 2 weeks premature since I planned a 9 week harvest. I harvested the rest of the plant that had bud rot. Looks like a decent amount of bud. They are drying in a seperate room. I stripped the fan leaves off every plant and will do a dry trim and cure. After The cure I will cone back and report. I am really heart broken right now. Update: final weigh in after dry and 2 days of curing was 8.5 oz of bud and 3 oz of trim with lots of popcorn buds. Will be making bubble hash with the trim. Had alot of fun dry trimming all day while listening to music and cracking a few beers. Lessons learned: 1. LED lights DO produce heat Contrary to what the companies say. 2. It is very important to have good airflow. Although i had a 4 inch inline for an active intake and a 6inch exhaust, I still should of used an oscillating fan. Even with higher humidity an oscillating fan might have prevented the bud rot. 3. For sea of green I should have cut every side branch at week 3 of flower. I was afraid of losing yield and harming the plants. Definately lollipop every sea of green. 4. Sea of green should not be done from seed. Too many different phenotypes. 5. It is very important to control the humidity especially during flowering. For small tents place a large 30 to 70 pint dehumidifier in the same room as the tent to keep humidity below 50. Bud rot is very sad it's worse than losing your first love lol. 6. Make sure I water until there is run off. Especially when giving plain water between feedings. Salt build up occurs and causes wild ph swings.

If I am growing Sea of Green can I give them veg nutes during flowering? I am using fox farm trio, I feel like maybe I can continue the fox farm grow big for the first 3 weeks of flowering?

I would say first 2 weeks instead of 3. Otherwise, you should be good.

What do you guys think, should I have vegged longer? I put the lights on 12/12 after vegging for almost 4 weeks. My plants are really short but pretty bushy. The shortest one is 8 inches and the tallest is 12 inches. I wanted to get an ounce off each plant but I'm not seeing it.

Hi Sacredgeometry. Your plants are looking happy and loved. With SOG (and especially early flower sog) its pretty typical (although there are exceptions) most plants don't hit an ounce dry, because the whole point is to flower earlier, and harvest quicker with more quantity of plants, which by default generally means your going to harvest less per grow but harvest more often so it all balances out. If you are doing SOG and getting an ounce or more per plant you are doing really well. The less plants you have in your SOG the more beneficial it is to do longer veg. If you don't have pistols showing yet, you could switch it back to 18-6 without too much impact, but if they already are showing pistols and have been in 12-12 for long enough, its going to take the plants longer than I would want to personally wait to get their hormones stabilized back to veg state. If they are too far in on their flowering hormones, cut clones off when these girls get bigger, and flip them back to veg for next longer 5-6 week grow cycle. It takes monster cropped clones some time to get stabilized. Generally its a good idea to wait until they are at least 12 inches tall to flip in SOG, unless you are intentionally doing 12-12 light from seed or clone which again will be very unlikely to get an ounce per plant with 12 - 12 from seed or clone. I think I would consider just letting these finish and monster cropping some clones off of them when they get a little bigger to stage for next cycle. One thing to remember is monsteer cropped clones from flower may be slightly less potent but for a home grower like me who doesn't test my harvest, I've never noticed a difference in potency.

Still looks like a great harvest! I also once had bud rot on one of the biggest colas, but if you react fast enough (what you apparently did), the rest should still be fine!

@sacredgeometry, I completely understand, because I was feeling exactly the same. But after two days, you should be more or less safe. Then they should be dry enough to not catch any mold anymore. I'm optimistic 😊

@Buddha2, Thank you I'm just hoping no rot proliferates while drying.

Ahhh was looking forward for the final harvest weight with the same built as yours. what you think caused the bud rot?

@sacredgeometry, is summer here now, Rh is 45-55 most of the time pulling fresh air into tent. winter i find myself hard to control environment, even with dehumidifier I'm struggling to keep under 75% especially running dwc with lots of evaporation cat eats the leaves?
sacredgeometry
sacredgeometry
@DTaro, I felt a number of things caused the bud rot. I have my intake pulling fresh air from the outside into my tent which caused low temps. The plants loved it but I also struggled with humidity which was between 50 and 60 rh. Need to keep humidity below 50 next grow. Packing alot of plants in a small space sure didn't help. I also let my cat into the tent sometimes to help me defoliate. I'm lucky it was just one cola on one plant

it still looking good, nice big bud even for early harvest. how's the trichomes looking under the scope?
sacredgeometry
sacredgeometry
@DTaro, Trichomes were all milky. This strain has an 8 week flowering period. I was going to give them 9 weeks for extra weight.

And rise your light// dimm it... your plants growing with short internodial distance, the ts200o has ahigh DLI output

@Mrs_Larimar, Thanks! 😊The short internodal spacing is done on purpose because I want one big main cola.

interested to see the harvest, I got the same tent size and grow light as yours. I might try sog next growth, if the weight is good 8 plants. I'm only having 2 plants Max with the rdwc setup (limited space with the piping and buckets) of the harvest is good 8 plants sog might be my next :) I'm getting lazy with water change and tie the plant down

@DTaro, Ok I'll post lots of pictures. There will be 48 colas inside the tent lol. I already started the new diary if you want to follow it. My light distance is 18 inches for seedlings dimmed at 50 percent. Once the plant developes more nodes I turn it up to 75 percent and slowly start raising it. Towards the end of flower I had ran out of vertical space and had the light 12 inches away from the top colas at 100 percent. It didn't get light burn at all.

DTaro
@sacredgeometry, that's pretty good. I got like 5 Oz only with dwc for my first grow. you going to try mainlining your next strain? post lots of pics I'm.planing to do the same. oh quick one, what are the light distance your setup Is for veg and flower

@DTaro, final weight was 8.5 oz of dried bud. 3oz of popcorn buds and trim.
