Grow QuestionsHumidity Spike - Bud Rot

Humidity Spike - Bud Rot

THC123started grow question 4 years ago

Today I went in my tent and the dehumidifier was full and shut off and my exhaust fan broke. Humidity was at 90% for likely 12hrs. Buds were sagging. Back to 40% now and exhaust running. Should I be worried about bud rot?

Keep an eye out for it but you really have nothing to worry about. It would take a prolonged exposure for this to cause bud rot unless it was already forming prior. Remember, they face these conditions out in the wild all the time and rot isn't too common even then.

Bud rot spreads slowly, good thing you fixed the exhaust. Keep the humidity low and good airflow! Happy smokes!

All depends on if you have the fungus in your room. If the plants are healthy and no open wounds no fungus in the room you should be fine.👍👍 From The White House

Genetics or budrot?Hi all, my Royal Jack Auto from RQS is in 7th to 8th week and on the tip of the main cola these red, brownish spots appeared. Humidity has been 50% yesterday and before 40-45%, plenty ventilation in the tent. Around 24 to 28 °C. Could this be the start of budrot or am I paranoid?

First Grow 4 weeks into Veg - Let my humidity get too high for 1 night. Need help with mold/septoria/?Last 3 days I've pruned diseased leaves every morning, foliar sprayed peroxide leaves & topsoil, & added some to watering solution. Is only affecting one plant in tent. Humidity no longer issue (was waiting 4 inline fan). If I keep pulling off leaves it's going to die anyway.

Mould on seedling This seed was late to spawn. Now it finally opened, even if it's quite short on the soil. I can see a fluff of mould just below the cotyledons. What should I do? Can I save it or do I risk contaminating the rest of the plants in the growbox?

Is this still good or is it ruined?Hung plants to dry and waited for stems to snap, unfortunately when I checked the buds were so crispy they basically crumbles in my hands. I heard this could be mold/rot also. Did I mess up and over dry my buds, or is this something much more awful? Is this still salvageable?

Help, what are those weird yellow spots in late veg?Hello everybody, I've checked in on my plant after I was away from home for 2 day. Now I come back to see these ugly yellow spots? During day 23°C / 55% humid. During night 18°C / 50% humid. Checked the whole bud, but no insects. My other ideas are mold or stress from the light?

Fungus on plant I know where it comes from... I was too stingy and didn't want to turn on the heating on cold rainy days- air too humid. Can I somehow save the affected bids or do I have to remove them? ( Just fan without heater I’ll have about 10*C)
