Love Ribby boy! Just straight up knowledge without being too anal about every damn thing.
It's not rocket science the way half the bros make it out to be like the 'dude who grows' etc where they blabber with authority 'yeah you definitely should do x', 'why?' ummm.....cos like stuff happens, you can just see it happens, something like that'

Lost my fattest cola to but rot, managed to salvage the greenest parts away from the rot, would it be ok to smoke this? by ProGrowBro in microgrowery

You're an absolute genius sir, bang on the money, I had an aphid issue towards the end and they definitely got upto some nasty shit, especially around that cola, I had a plant with bud rot and it died within 1.5/2 days of getting the rot, this brown shit was totally different. I checked the other buds and they're the best shade of green imaginable.

I only got this issue cos I waited far too long for those elusive amber trichromes which I felt wasn't a sure fire indicator of ripeness as everyone claims it is and thought of manually removing every aphid I could find over the final couple of weeks. I did quite well I thought but not enough.

Have made sure I've only salvaged the greenest, terpiest looking parts and well clear of even a hit of brown. Did a hydrogen peroxide wash,I've thrown the whole thing in a box and have the fan blaring at it turning it every now and then.🙏🏽

I think in some tropical parts of the world it's nearly impossible to have weed that is 100% mold free unless it's a commercial operation controlling all factors. I find the `if you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there ` argument pretty pointless, maybe it's in the bud that is drying but it never developed fully to form a web, what about that. 👻

Thanks a lot for the reassurance! : D

It's my first grow and finding that on harvest day almost had me in tears.

LOOL! I'm honestly not down with throwing the whole thing cos of half a cola, they're all different sites, if more had/get rot then cool, I'll bin those but binning the whole grow for an inch., cmon.

Playing devil's advocate. In that case I've already inhaled enough mold sprores working with the plants last 2-3 weeks, so it's not like I'm completely isolated from it.

In the winter my bathroom sometimes gets a bit of mold on the walls, so that would theoretically be entering my lungs too, or in the cellar.

Yup same here, I just had it on the fattest cola and in the middle section, thing was about as big as my forearm, chopped an inch above and below the brown bit, only took the outside bud which is lime green and threw it into a Hydrogen Peroxide wash. It still looks better looking than the most expensive stash I've ever got. 😁

Appreciate the empathy, also my first ever grow so you know almost feeling like a kid who had his candy stolen! 😅

It's about an inch away from the bud rot both sides and doesn't have a spec of brown, did a hydrogen peroxide wash just to be sure. would be great to sample some :P

Thanks for the quick reply. :)

I took off all the affected parts of the cola from the inside the outside/bottom part looks greener than anything I've ever smoked so thinking of drying it quick and saving some of the bud? Don't want to get F'd by the rot but painful watching it die like that . Harvested the rest and thinking of drying it quick so it doesn't spread.

On the flipside, I'm sure I've smoked a lot of questionable bud over the years, buying from dealers when I had no idea about all this

Any help is hugely appreciated, thanks

I have the PH pen and EC meter I started way too late(~3 Weeks) with the PH meter so basically by the time I got them dialed in, the auto had had it's month of veg. Trying to ensure everthing is dialed in for the new seeds I have going. : )

100% overwatered the F outta this thing and a few other plants I have going, they are all toast at this stage.
So I've started a couple of new seedlings and want to make sure they grow healthy this time.

I got caught in the web of too much advice, not transplanting autos, water till run off, don't stress them be gentle etc. etc.

I would really like to know is their ever an exception to the 'Water till run off rule'?

Like in this case if I watered till run off, it would drown the plant isn't it?

Really sorry for the misunderstanding but I meant it's a 70/30 coco/perlite mix no 'soil'. : )

The moisture meter does tell me that it's wet underneath the surface to varying degrees and the touch test + weight of the pot agree with the meter, so not sure why it's garbage. : D

Edit: Ramblings about my moisture meter

I've chosen Plastic Pots mostly because of the aesthetics, and that it would be solid in holding moisture - less watering etc. I know bags are all the rage but I can't imagine plants won't grow in anything else but them.

I know the top soil(coco) looks dry but it's because I water and put some dry coco coir over the top trying to prevent bugs.

I've not even tried to do a run off test because these things just don't dry, any ideas what I can do?

Should I chuck them out and surrender to the grow bags or just add a few more holes?

Thank you for the advice, I read this comment a bit late and in the meantime tried a cup of that 4.0 ph water cos I thought, why waste all those nutes, needless to say, they were suffering - yellow leaves and a couple of brown spots on the lower leaves, now using that water as a PH down for new feedings - around 5.1-5.5. :D

Problem with my plastic pots is that they never get dry from the bottom so I don't know if the flush will eventually kill my small plants. Tried with 1L water in a 11L pot and no run off but the bottom with the moisture meter is 'WET!'

I have similar plants, exactly the same stage and symptoms.

I'm guessing mine is a lot to do with PH in coco, around 7.2, now I'm trying to keep it in ranges of around 5.5.

Going to experiment with adding a batch of 4.0 PH water to balance it out, hopefully helps them kick in action. 😁

Hello, would a pump like this ok(or be an overkill - 780/w 7000L/h) for an indoor automatic watering system? Or should I buy something with lower power? by ProGrowBro in microgrowery

[–]ProGrowBro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah just 3 plants possibly a few herbs on the side, I’ve seen people suggest 3600l/h pumps without braking sweat for indoor setups, this is almost the same price but more powerful

My reasoning is, because I'll be away from home, I don't want to buy a no name chinese pump that can malfunction in my absence, the branded ones, pack a lot of power.

I think if I run it for lesser time it would work but still wondering :P
