I might be in luck.
The plants I started to trim were in a spot where the airflow was the most stagnant because of where I placed my fan.
Tonight, I'll take a couple down and biopsy them to see if they have any signs of rot.
I'm a realist, I'm not going to hold out much hope, but hope abides none the less.

Yeah, I'm more speaking towards disposal. Never had to throw out a large quantity before. I've decided to compost.

I appreciate the sentiment. Shit sucks ass. Luckily, I got enough from my last grow to keep me going for the rest of the year (I don't partake very often)
I haven't got around to examining the rest of the dry tent, but if I have one plant that doesn't show signs of rot from bottom to top, I can give it a light cure, and see if she's worth keeping around.

So 99% of my crop has been disposed of. I have some select lower, more arid bud, that was seemingly unaffected enough for me to attempt a cure.
I realize the entire crop has been exposed. When it comes time to think about smoking it, I'm going to go over it again with my loup, and make a game day call. I realize the risks involved, and I'm not taking them lightly.
I'll have more updates soon. I'm going to clean my flower tent, tray, and res in the next few weeks, cut clones, and get ready for my next round of flower. I'm tempted to veg out a few Chem fuego and run 4 small bushes, or possibly run the mothers and do a full veg tent reset with new clone moms.
I'm also contemplating pulling all my veg plants out of the room, ozone bombing it, give it a good cleaning, and prior to returning them, giving a quick spinosad treatment.
Still weighing pros and cons. So time will tell...

I appreciate the sentiment, I will look into Regalia. I am extremely confident this happened because I had very low air exchange, dense buds, and "dried" on the high end of the scale 65/65. I believe if this started in flower, it would be much worse by now.
My flower tent becomes my dry tent, and it shares a lung room with my veg tent. The veg plants were struggling with low temps and humidity, so I put a heater in the veg tent, thinking the ambient lung room temp wouldn't be heavily affected. When the temp stayed steady at 65 and the humidity plumitted, I set the exaust to turn off when in the "optimal" zone and when it would kick on, it would be a 2 out of a possible 10. This is only my 2nd winter harvest, and it was extremely educational.
I believe what I should have done is hang them to dry in another part of the house with a fan moving air around, and check them daily, perhaps using a rack or bag method after a 4 or 5 days in the cold/dry spell we were experiencing. Perhaps removing the buds from the stem all together would have spared them, idk.
If I was a heavier smoker, I would be devastated, but I am just on a quest for quality keepers for personal enjoyment and potential future breeding. The time and effort spent hurts, but I learned alot, so it wasn't a complete waste.

I have a 16 yo Phresh filter that needs to go. I've had my eye on this.

I was looking into methods of breaking the rivets on an old AC infinity filter I have lying around when this launched.
My only concern is how I will manage to get the filter packed effectively, unless I grow absolute fire in the next 2 grows, I likely wont get to refilling until late this year or early next year. I will have a review at some point.

Front of the veg tent is having a show off grow off. Can you tell which is the sativa?

I will put it on the wishlist! Any recommended models?

I know you might want a brand name one but for the most part just really a decent wine chiller modified and if made right perfect temp and humidity and throw a digital hygrometer in there to see on your phone. I don't have skills to build one though. Just been seeing everyone around here with, never heard of but after results I've seen instead of hanging fat buds to dry out and woring about mold for me been searching if I find something good and not crazy expensive I'll let you know.

Fuck yeah, I'll start researching during lunch. I appreciate the suggestion.

It's like @curious2garden says it's her pot humidor. Since you don't smoke alot will stay perfect taste and smells. Also looks really awesome through glass windows.
With the monster crop I pulled if I hadn't used a freeze dryer I believed I would have lost them during the dry.

Thermoelectric wine cooler drying and curing - DIY
I had read about these for a while before trying, this is not by any means a new idea nor did I come up with the idea. I was tired of over drying and drying too quickly in the winter, then freaking out about mold in the summer. A google search will give lots of other ideas, but I get a lot of...
