yes.... I agree with you... one thing I will say... drying higher temps / faster better air flow helps... I have a dehydrator... when i see mold coming in on stuff... I dry at 120 F to stop anymore from progessing... the shit grows so fast... you could have a little spot when you harvest and after 24 hours of what you think is drying... you may have lost a few buds as a result.. :2cents:

def have a read on that life cycle of botrytus.. it tells you how to at least keep from recontaminating your own stuff over and over...

I am reading the links you gave me now :) My dry temps were 70ish and about 50% humidity with a fan blowing indirectly for 6-8hrs a day. This grow season was wicked man! I have been an outdoor grower for quite sometime. I HATE these drastic weather changes. last year we had literally MONTHS of rain, now this year INSANE humidity combined with high temp days....sheesh! Heres to hoping next year calms down a little bit lmao! If not I will def add a heater to my dry room for faster drying. I just love the slow dry, the taste and smell comes out sooo much better. I usually dry for 3 days or so until the outside is crispish but the stem does not snap, still has some bend to it, then I alternate from jar/papper bag until I feel they are ready for long term jar cure. I may have to alter things if this weather keeps up.
 
yep... I'm right there with ya on all that mate!

I prefer a longer dry / cure myself... but its better than losing 75% like last year...

that second link... the guy is talking about orchards and stuff... but he really talks a lot of great stuff about biology and plant health... specifically pay attention to the info on neem and kelp...
:toke:
 
DUDE THANK YOU for them links! Next year I plan to place a stick inbetween the side nugs and the stem on the colas to give them air to breath...GOOD IDEA!!! That guy described the exact spots where my bud rot hit...I bet that stick idea will help vent the stem and inner bud. These buds were so damn tight on the stem when I pulled them apart to expose the rot they had the stem indent engraved in them.
 
sorry to see brv, iv just had the same on my ice cool on my 12/12 so no how you feel as your look a dam sweet bud :cry:,:peace: kudo
 
I think it has happened to everyone at one time or another. I feel your pain brother!
