My first attempt at growing

[hothousemary]

what are the signs of bud rot?? Yea thank ganja god I am set on bud! got a good lil bit stashed away from my last hustle.. pretty much knew I was over with that so I got greedy with a qp..

 

[bfq]

ever see lettuce start to go over? how dark it gets? same basic idea... decomposing vegetation.

 

[hothousemary]

ok, good dont have any of that going on. this I assume happens when you wait to long to harvest and allow the entire plant to die on the stalk? Or can bud rot happen b4 the right time for harvest.

 

[bfq]

both ways happen... you arent too likely to see it though before the plants kick off though.... you arent suffering high humidity or foliar feeding... bud rot *can* happen at any time though.... dont get a new thing to worry about from talking with me though

 

[hothousemary]

lol Im off the ledge man! just learning! as always thanks man!

I haven't done my own grow before but I have helped with a couple of harvests and they look just fine to me, those babys are still producing plenty of bud, you see them everyday but since the last picture you posted there is quite a difference.

Not all strains have tricones that go amber, when they start going opaque you need to watch the plant closely if half of the trics are opaque then my friend used to harvest even if only a few are amber.
If you leave it too late the THC will start to break down and the bud loses potency but more often than not you will know when its time to harvest, I'm sure you probably felt a bit like this last time.
My friend has been growing for years and he still frets when it gets close to harvest time.
Youre doing a great job bro, I hope mine are even close to as good as your girls.

I will add that my experience is second hand so to speak so get a second opinion before you take my word as gospel, I;m just relating what I have seen in someone elses grow, I wasnt there the whole time

 

[hothousemary]

all that makes good sence! thanks barker!!

hot house I can tell you how much I love your avitar. My g.f is a die hard packers fan so it just reminds me every time how I get to rub it in her face

 

[hothousemary]

lol just changed it to.. I like farve, but enough is enough..already had to watch jordon hang on a lil to long imo, wish I didnt have to do it with brett also..

 

[blazin waffles]

If you harvest soon the worst thing that will happen is you get an energetic headie high!!!

 

[hothousemary]

yea Im gonna stay patient, I tend to get a lil crazy in these types of situation... but im gonna stick it out and try to get the bud the couch lock that I like.

Yo HHM,
I saw Tetra say in my thread that some white strains won't get amber. White Rhino I think he said was one. I'm starting to get some leaves like yours. Been doing light nutes and started 100% plain water today.

 

[pigpen]

so you go and change it man That sould be minus rep lucky I like yeah =)

 

[hothousemary]

IM real close to starting flushing... prolly start next week, still looking for amber though,,

Thats what you gotta do! Let it ride bro. Patience is key......its almost like wine. You gotta age it just right! And don't settle for C get what you came for !!!!!

But you gotta admit your worst case senario is better than somes best shot! Your kickin ass and taking names!

You talk'in gray mold(botrytis)
One dying leaf, drying and dying, just one fan leaf, is the start. look out, I've lost a lot of bud to it.

 

[bfq]

just strolled back through to look at yer buds before i call it a day... damn skippy!

i SO miss my HID's

and i had a thought... next grow if you have the space for it, tie a plant so it grows horizontally and watch what the buds do. it will show you a LOT about the anatomy of a bud it will also show you why us depraved, er, deprived fuckers like ScrOG for our micro spaces.

and while i am thinking about it, havent heard you lament heat in awhile.... that AC working out for you? sure looks like it

 

[JayDRO]

hhm those buds are huge and
are looking awsome dude. your almost there bro

hey mary was up them girl's are looking good... but as far as being amber not all strain's will turn... some time's they never fully turn... i would chop in 7-8-9- day.. no more at that time they can start decomposeing.. brakeing down... i just dont want you to start haveing problem's with that.. so how meny week's are they now..
