One day I observed one of the growers here had a solo cup plunked on top of a larger pot and wondered to myself why would they do that . Long story short if you start your seedling in a smaller pot they grow faster !! Who knew !! I now start my seeds in modified 16 oz solo cups and will transplant them to bigger pots when the time is right . I can't remember who showed that but you gotta pay attention here .

Botrytis in early development, could also be spores. Strain: Northern Lights, crop king.

Early bud mold development I believe. I'm thinking it can maybe be spores as well, not exactly sure.

Sad to say I may loose my crop. This is from a small sample I took from an area close to where I removed a cola infected with botrytis. I have the rest hanging to dry ATM. The other cola's look good except for one small questionable spot, this could be amber crystals though.

I've read that bud mold can only germinate on wet plant tissue when the temperature is between 13-21 C . Also keeping under RH under 50% will prevent mold growth. I've been keeping my hanging buds in theses conditions just hoping for the best.

This is my first bout with botrytis, and it's been pretty hard to deal with for sure. I'm gonna be inspecting my nugs after drying that's for sure.

Any insight guys?

Ya, cut out anything that has any sign of fungus and before you even move it around, get in a trash bag. It likes to grow starting from the crook of the buds at the branch nodes. Break open any buds that are bigger than your finger and check for mold at the branch nodes. It will also grow where leaves start to yellow quickly. It spreads FAST... I cleaned my entire grow room with heavy sprays and bleached all my equipment afterwards.You also have to alcohol wipe your cutting tool after every single cut, or you just spread it.

I was able to save the harvest by pruning out the mold from four tops, and then bud washing the whole harvest. I also sped up the drying time by putting fans on the buds laid out on paper on a bed. I only lost four big tops after all but would have lost it all had I not caught it while it was young, like yours.

Bud washing is like two or three buckets of water and you dip and shake the buds in the water. First bucket I added a cup of baking soda and a squeeze of lemon wedge, warm not hot. second bucket was cold water only for rinse. Drip off on a rack for an hour and then start curing. It's a supreme pain in the ass. Most people will probably choose to just toss it all.
