Hey guys,
I need some help. The last two harvests have ended in tradegety. I didn't notice anything on my plants at harvest time but while curing the smell and taste of the buds got worse and worse.
I water cured the first harvest a few months ago and when drying the plant I noticed rust looking particles left behind. In hindsight I assume this was leftovers from PM.
The weather is cold and damp in Melbourne and I do live in a swampy area.
My last harvest looked so perfect. The only thing I noticed was how quickly the hairs turned amber. It was almost overnight. I should have known that color changes that quick probably means PM.
For my next grow I bought a new tent, organic citric fungicide, a microscope, pingi dehumidifiers. I will take my grow out of the garage and into a spare room to increase ventilation and control temps better.
Going to be a pain in the ass if my landlord decides to inspect but oh well.
Rather then waste the bud I am conducting an experiment. Right before It turned full on gank I put the lot into jars and filled with water and diluted peroxide. I have heard a good water cure can help, I have read anything about adding hydrogen peroxide. So far the water has been brown and green.
My question is, are my assumptions correct that hairs changing color so quick is a sign of infection?
If prevention was impossible should I have tried to kill the mould before it got worse before harvesting?
