I think the idea is you get one or two of those hygrometers for your jars and you can base the rest of your jars without them on the one or two that have them. There's a thread on it in the drying and curing forum. It might be a sticky. I think it might be called "How to get a perfect cure everytime" or something like that.

Went out to check on the girls this morning and while I was watering, I noticed what looked like a stick on one of the lower colas. So I went to pull it off, and it was a dead sugarleaf. Fckn budrot! Checked the rest of the plant, had to cut 4 colas off. Thankfully the main wasn't affected.
How are you guys dealing with budrot? I'm outdoor, trainwreck/diesel, about 2 weeks from harvest. I've also got a widow and some unknown kush-looking bag seed under the same tent that are unaffected. The other two are farther behind though, maybe a month from done. The tent is PVC frame with clear plastic, open on 2 sides and has good airflow, but I guess all the rain yesterday was too much humidity. The plants don't get wet from the rain though.
Ive read people using serenade or sm90 for budrot, anyone here use it? Im kinda hesitant to spray either on the buds this close to harvest, but at the same time I hate cutting affected colas off the plant. Appreciate your thoughts guys

Have you seen the jorge cervantes video on doing a hydrogen peroxide bath to salvage moldy weed? I've never tried it but I fucking hate mold and we're supposedly headed into a wetter winter season with the predicted el nino this year. I just try to keep my plants as dry as possible, thats why i like using 10 gallons, so i can move them under cover more easily. Supposedly you can remove small pieces of bud from large colas to prevent mold by allowing more airflow to the center of the bud where the mold begins.

Interesting video, although it was on PM, after I did a quick search it looks like it might also work on budrot. Might try it on the colas I removed today. Hopefully all the rot was cut out. Thanks man.
any chance it was worms? i have had a few this year, looks like rot when they are gone.

I did pull a catapiller looking worm off one of the colas I cut off the plant. I also noticed a bunch of shade leaves had been eaten. I didn't know that it could look like budrot. Makes sense though, they haven't gotten rained on since I put the tent up, around a month ago. So If it was that catapiller it hatched in the bud and ate its way out? The one I found was about an inch and a half long. Didn't notice any worm eggs, but then again I wasnt looking for eggs.
Thanks for the input Dyna Ryda
If you found one the were probably others. I check everyday for them, the first sign is a dead sugar leaf. They kill the area that they are in. Did any of the rot have white web looking sticky shit in it?

Just for you Del. I'm not 100% sure, I only keep the good buds and strip the rest for oil, I use it on my skin cancer spots. 3 lbs

She is getting fed every day. FloraNovaBloom, CalMag, JungleJuiceMicro, Molasses, Copper Chelate (to offset the zinc in the trashcan), Phosphoric acid (pH down 8.0 hose water to 5.7). I just started hitting her with 0-10-10 bloom and SeaGreen (potassium). I used Safer Caterpillar Killer (BT) to prevent bud worms this year. She has the blue tint that some of the old masters say is a sign of high Brix and good health. The main stem is as big around as a Coke liter bottle!
Here are some tip shots:

None of the rot had that white web looking shit, but I did notice that on the underside of some of the fan leaves. Where I did find that web looking crap I cut off that blade of the leaf it was on. Did a check today, didn't see anymore colas affected

Last year I picked them off by hand and I thought I was doing a great organic job. When I was trimming I must have cleaned out over 200 bud worms and lost half of my harvest to poop filled buds. This year I am using Sevin to kill the soil bugs before I plant and Safer Caterpillar Killer to kill the budworms. Working great so far. Started seeing the worms in June and sprayed the Safer two times (need to use 2 tbsp per gallon and Coco wet) and I have not seen any more worms! We will see what she looks like at harvest - that will be the final test.
