Guys, I think I may have caught this just in time. I can smell the mold, but even with a 10X I can't see it. I took my plants out for some photos and noticed they smelled less like lovely skunk buds and more like sweaty socks/mildew....I seem to have encountered a N deficiency in mid flower and adjusted in by giving it a bit more of the veg nutes, that has stopped the leaves from dying. But now....
I was told my cab temps were too high, so I am leaving the doors open (don't think the passive intakes on my cab are workig well) and got the temps down to low 80's (from 85-87) But since it's in my basement I think it took more mold spores than it could handle. I'm a newb so anything I get is gravy but can anything be done to stop the spread of this? With my amateur mycology experience (yay shroomery) I know that weak h202 can kill some molds but will it affect my soon to be harvested girls's and their delicate trichomes? I have an ionic breeze and put it in the cab for kicks based on some threads I saw elsehwere. Will my plants get Ozone burns? Since I may just harvest it early I don't want to use any Neem or Sulphur
PS-I have a food dehydrator that goes down to 90 degrees and dries my shroomies out in a day (even the one footers) I was thinking about immediately dehdyrating them after harvest to stop the mold growing---that is, if I harvest early. Any thoughts on this?
What STRAIN are you growing? BAGSEED
What was the establishing technique? (seed or clone?) SEED
What is the age of your plants? ABOUT 3 MONTHS
How Tall are the plants? 2-3 FEET AVERAGE
What PHASE (seedling, vegetative or flower) are the plants in? FLOWER
What Technique are you using? (SOG, SCROG etc) NATURAL
What size pots are you using? (Include how many subjects to pot) 2 GAL-1 PER POT, hols in bottom a and clay pot pieces for drainage
What substrate/medium are you using? What brand of soil mixture are you using?(percentage of perlite, vermiculite...etc?) FFOF STRAIGHT UP
What Nutrient's are you using?How much of each with how much water? How Often? *Knowing the brand is very helpful* EACH PLANT GETS ABOUT 1-1.5L every 3-4 days, use 1 capful of Botanicare PBP Bloom each watering or every other water
What is the TDS/EC/PPM of your nutrients used? Don't Know
What is the pH of the "RUN-OFF"? 6.8-7.0
What method of pH test was administered? Using Strips? pH pen? pH pen, about 6.8
How often are you watering? Every 3-4 days
When was your last feeding and how often are you feeding? About 3 days ago, feeding with each watering
What size bulb are you using? 250 W HPS
What is the distance to the canopy? 6-12 inches, varies
What is your RH Factor? (Relative Humidity) About 30%
What is the canopy temperature? About 80-85
What is the Day/Night Temp? (Include fluctuation range) 80-85 F day, 70 F night
What is the current Air Flow? (cfm etc.) 4 in Can Fan going 24x7 with a small muffin fan to keep air moving and passice air intakes
Is the fan blowing directly at plants? pretty much
Is the grow substrate constantly wet or moist? Not really, moist for 2 days, dry for 1, then they get water
Is your water HARD or SOFT? Water is pretty neutral, but tending towards hardness
What water are you using? Reverse Osmosis (RO)? Tap? Bottled? Well water? Distilled? Mineral Water? Tap, sits for 24-48 hours to dechlorinate
Has plant been recently pruned, cloned or pinched? No
Have any pest chemicals been used? If so what and when? No
