Thread: Mold, rot ?

This is my first grow. I live on the coast in northern CaL. cold and damp area. My buds have parts that are broen and seems like brownish dust as they are drying. here are some pics not the best camara.

hard to say. those pics don't really help. pic 1,2 & 4 look like it's just dead after being broken. pic 3 looks like it could be mold, but it looks as if the plant is just turning purple.

if you have any doubts, DO NOT SMOKE it as it can make you very sick or worse!

Your first picture is definitely mold. It looks exactly like mold I got after a rainy, wet, damp spell in Wa, and it will kill the plant. Get rid of it or you can lose the whole crop you have.

Were can I find good pics of mold, rot,...?

better check those buds for cattepillars too

I would have to say That is mold as well. Use a mix of Neem oil/hot water/ Silica @ 2ml each in a spray bottle 2X week to kill off the mold and reduce the chance of it happening again next year or the next batch.
What strain is that?
I can tell you a few that are far better suited for that area of Cali if you like. They have High mold resistance so wet rainy cold environments are actually perfect...

Well I got a black light and looked at all my drying buds. I also laid out what I bought from the collective. mine seems to have less mold then what I bought. Thats scary. It is cool and damp here in the north west part of Cal. mostly in the 60s for a high in the summer. Very humid. I like to grow outside I have a big privit yard with a steam for water. What strains would be best to try next year?

Dude u might be able to find so strians that can put up with the humidity and cold but ur best bet is to use a prevenative maintanice the whole year. I think the GreenCure fungicide for curing and preventing powdery mildew, blights, molds and other plant diseases is the best thing for the job.
Hope this helps

next year sulfer spray at first sighns of flower. can spray sernade on flowers to stop mold and mildew. best thing to do is cut out any mushy brown spots.
