    A little bit of bud rot, cut it out and make edibles?

    Cut down an OG yesterday and noticed some bud rot inside of the dense colas. Not planning to smoke, but looking for feedback if it's ok to make oil with them for edibles (the salvaged parts without visual bud rot). Any thoughts on if these are still salvageable? My thought is: 1. Removed rot...

    Outdoor OG, minimal bud rot inside the dense colas, anything salvagable?

    Just cut down an outdoor grown OG. Noticed inside the dense buds some bud rot. Had a lot of caterpillar issues but stayed on them, cut out what I could immediately over the past 2 months (which may be some of what I'm seeing). I was careful to cut out all the rot area. None of the buds were...

    Botrytis (aka Bud Rot) - Discussion over causation

    I'm beginning to think more and more that one of the biggest threats to having botrytis(besides genetics) is overwatering and overfertilizing. Time and time again I watch commercial farms struggle with botrytis and they are constantly trying to overwater and overfeed. Then I watch my...

    The humidity is going crazy in my room.

    Hi all RIU members, since I started the flowering phase the humidity has been going crazy and even though I have an old dehumidifier I can assure you it works. Basically with the lights off the humidity goes to 38% and with the lights on it takes off to about 51/52% rarely up to 55%. Even if the...

    Bud Rot; Salvageable??

    I have considerable damage done to my plants by bud rot. The fan leaves are mostly checkered brown and yellow. Most of the buds LOOK ok. Everything I have read online says to throw the entire plant away as it’s not worth getting fungus in your lungs. My grower friends say to salvage what you can...

    So this plant is getting close to harvest. I don’t think it is quite there but I did notice on one of the buds it had some bud rot going on. Every other bud I looked at did not appear to have this. I noticed it because there was a dying sugar leaf on that bud. Do you think I need to harvest that...

    New Buds look brown and dry. Am I in trouble?

    I am currently in my second week of flower, and all bud sites look "brownish" and dry. They don't look rotten or moldy, just brown..kind of lifeless. Could this be nutrient burn? Light/heat stress? Genetics? And most importantly, can I complete the harvest and hope that the buds eventually will...
