Simply discount his offering and move on then. People are allowed to be incorrect at times. I must say in his defense that we see MANY people come around that say they have something but they don't, all it would have taken from you to mitigate this would have been one picture.

Portland Oregon. My friend out by the coast has lost virtually his entire crop.

I really suspect that I don't need to explain that I liked this post, because you provided a picture, and not because it's happening; right??? I didn't think so. Lol.

Man, that sucks to see. None here yet, but I'm just waiting....

No, its painted saw dust i think from the neighboor sanding something, was floating around the air a while ago when the guy was sanding and cutting for like 5 days. When it gets water on it or when touched it seems to break into a fine powder looking like pm

you'd should probably get that plant inside asap if you want to save it.. you need to control the humidity.

or maybe try using a hydrogen peroxide spray.. cover the plant with it, let it sit for 5-10 mins, then spray again heavily with water to clean everything off. do that everyday. hydrogen peroxide will kill bacteria, mold, mildew etc and is quite mild if diluted.

Honestly man I dont see any bud rot in those photos. Look up photos on google of botrytis youll see what it looks like. Bud rot usually happens way later in flower when you have huge dense kolas that are a few weeks out from harvest. Those buds arent even structured/big enough to have botrytis. Im dealing with some bud rot in my gelatos they are outdoors a few weeks away from harvest due to some unexpected or expected rain here in Oregon, but the buds are rock hard and the size of my forearms. I cut it out carefully and remove it inside a plastic sandwhich bag. When growing big nugs outdoors youll always lose a little bit to mold. Here is pics of my gelato. Tomorrow if youd like I can snap an upclose shot of the bud rot that is present here and there. Losing 5-10% to mold always happens with outdoors but as long as you have a dialed drying environment it will stop and you can cut it out. Im still expecting 5-8 ounce plants from the gelato with botrytis present. Your plants will be fine. Let me know if you have any questions I have been growing outdoors commercially for 5 yearsView attachment 4399986 View attachment 4399987 View attachment 4399990

I have a greenhouse but only the roof plastic is up. I did not close up the ends yet fearing it would make the humidity worse. I'm also in Oregon but the southern part about 40 miles from Northern cali border. My colas are really starting to plump up and I'm getting a little worried in 2-3 weeks they will get mold. Is it better to leave the ends open in the greenhouse? Or is it better to close the ends when it gets colder in October? I'm checking NOAA and its supposed to get to 34 degrees on Monday with possible showers. My bud won't get wet cause the roof is on but I'm worried about it getting too cold and humid. So I plan to close up the back end of the greenhouse and put 3 fan,s a heater, and dehumidifier. Will I NOT get bud rot taking these precautions?

Listen to the member that said it’ll just be leaves and pistils. It might get you high for all of 2 days before you won’t feel anything at all. Whatever trichomes are there will not have looked like a mushroom yet, so you won’t even have much THC-A let alone THC. I’d much rather gamble on letting it go atleast another 2-3 weeks than to flush 3.5 months down the drain for maybe 14 grams of immature flower.

But these threads most of the time are opened looking for confirmation moreso than an honest opinion. You know your situation better than anyone on here, so if you feel you’re losing bud at an uncontrollable pace and want to cash your chips in, go for it. I’ve just been reading these forums long enough to know that no one on here will ever support harvesting early flower.

I have to disagree with a couple of points here. I had to harvest a sativa at 6 weeks after a light fell on it. After drying and curing it didn't smell like weed, but it got me high. Hit fast and wore off fast, but it kept working for weeks. I don't see how you could build up a tolerance to it faster than mature weed.
All weed has THCA until it has been decarbed. Either by burning when you smoke it, or in an oven when you're going to make edibles or budder. If weed had THC in it decarbing would be unnecessary, you could just eat it raw.
That said, potassium bicarbonate or hydrogen peroxide are your best bets. I have used potassium bicarbonate to stop the spread of budrot from one infected branch, and it works better as a preventive than a cure.

Leave the ends open for sure. Unless you can roll them down at night then open then in the morning. Throw a fan or 2 in the if you can and call it good. I had a whole field outdoors where it got down into the 30s last year at night and it didnt effect them at all. Usually those drops are only temporary and then it warms back up.

It has rained the last 2 out of 3 nights here...am very happy that I kept my girls in large but still movable pots. I just put them under cover and run a fan on them if needed.

Hey guys do you think this is bud rot? I cut the bud just in case. It was a lower bud that seemed a bit rusty. Not anything special so wasnt a loss really. Not sure if the bud was fine and started to turn purple cause of colder nights?

Damn! Well I haven't seen any other spots on any of the other plants. And the top colas on the herijuana look good. My concern is I have a 12 ft wide x 50 ft long x 13.5 ft high. Can I even heat that big of a greenhouse?

I have 12 plants but tons of empty space between them. Lots of air space. I added another fan.
