I've read somewhere that u can use milk mixed with water in ratio 1 to 5 as well. Can some one confirm that?

amazing post. Very well explained! This year I had a mini outbreak on a few of my gurls, I followed directions similar to these and the results have been very good. All my ladies are healthy and are approaching the finishing line! Number 1 rule - Inspect, Inspect, Inspect... & Keep them lower branches off the ground!

It's 2012 and still having issues with bud rot. Cleaned the area now I need to desinfect it. The plant had some underwater issue for a day while I was gone and the big fan leaves around the bud kept the moisture in the bud.
I hope to have no other bud rot cases

Check plant daily. I see alot of new threads popping up about mold. I have had problems with the my main colas trying to mold because the density allows for mold spores to get inside the bud where there is no light and the mold just eats the bud from the inside out. To combat this, I get in there and bend the buds away from each other and try to create paths for light to get down in the colas. It has helped. There is an old saying that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. In the case of mold, there is not much cure you can do once it hits. You gotta get rid of the infection and hope to hell it dont spread. Use anti-fungals featuring copper sulfate and remain vigilant. good luck.
