Found my first little spot of mold today too. I found a caterpillar inside the bud too so don’t know if that has anything to do with it. Luckily it hasn’t rained much but it’s a constant 80-90% humidity 24/7 here every day which sucks. Gonna set my fan up tomorrow and keep a constant breeze on them

Caterpillar's will cause bud rot.
 
Probably going to chop my bigger Tennessee Kush and a satellite cindy tomorrow before the shitty weather. Still a good amount of white hairs but trichomes are mostly cloudy.

I had to cut 1 of mine today, I’m nervously waiting to cut the other 4. Same situation as you all milky trichs, but I know she wasn’t completely ready

Yeah my tk is definitely getting cut, the buds are huge and dense, I know a couple days of rain and cold will ruin them. My other strains have much more sativa in them with open structure and skinny buds, they might do alright. Better to cut early and harvest something vs harvesting a bunch of mold.

absolutely right... a smart grower knows when it's time to cut
 
I'm done, found bug infestation on 1 of the 2 OG cheese plants so I'm tossing that one and harvesting the other. It's odd because it's only the one plant, the other is perfectly fine I can't find one bug on it. I kinda feel good now since I was getting tired of taking care of these things. This was my 1st outdoor grow and will be sticking to indoors, sooo much easier. My critical purple kush I had outdoors were perfectly fine also, I won't be planting cheese again.

I'm thinking you chop chop or move inside at night or build something to cover your girls but the humidity levels plus rain & how cold it's getting at night if you can move your crop inside at night do so is the whole reason i don't plant into the ground sure i could get 3X the bud but if i throw it all away then i get nothing .

Are those aphids? How cheap is it to buy ladybugs? Might be to cold for them now anyway

Funny thing is I actually just received a catalog in the mail from Arbico Organics last week that sells different types of predatory insects and I tossed it aside thinking no need for it, now I'm closely reading up on it. I think the round green things are broad mites and I would get some lady bugs since they are very cheap but they appear to be sold out. It's so late into flower I think it's a loss, I couldn't smoke it thinking of all the bugs that may be in it. Think I just need to learn about picking better bug resistant strains in the future, the purple kush seems to be a winner for me so far.

Dsmer what did you use for those flexible white top pieces on your enclosure? Pvc? Thanks
Click to expand...

Yes, simple 1/2” pvc tubing and fittings. I bought (4) 10’ sections along with a few fittings. Cheap stuff and available everywhere. To secure it I screwed some steel conduit to the sides that was slightly larger than the pvc so it could side right inside and hold it in place. Seems to be pretty sturdy so far, but I only need it to last a couple weeks
