I was wondering where you were. I am so used to your posts during the day, it was kinda weird. haha

And I'm sure you'll they'll be fine, just stop doing that. :D
 
hahaha. im not sure bro now you guys got me real worried again..what are the signs of bud rot? any clue? i just checked them out, and man do they look so juicy and healthy to me! i put an extra fan on them, and turned them up a notch..man i was literally soaking them..and almost everyday taboot..shit
 
If they look great, they're probably fine. I don't know the signs of bud rot, but I bet it's here somewhere. Don't wind burn them! haha
 
hahaha im friggin' already stressed out squiddy...stop it! hahaha
 
Bud Rot will be tanish, brown almost
Moldy looking spots on the bud. Once they start flowering you don't want
To get the hairs or buds wet. Even high humidity can rot
Growing and drying bud. If they look green and healthy to you they should be fine. Just avoid wetting them. If things are looking dry you can always put a pot of water in the room near the plants. It will evaporate and add moisture to the air.
 
thanks cap..to be honest i was just foliar spraying because it gave me something to do. once i did they looked all wet and healthy, and when they woke up they had a stong, healthy, stinky smell. i had no idea it was bad, i seriously thought i was doing something good for them. wow i really feel like a meatball now. just goes to show you, just when you think your finally getting on your game with this~bam! youve got more to learn!


edit: i was even having my wife do it for me when i wasnt home..omg (embarrasing):o
 
Haha. Foliar spraying works and is good. Just not when flowering. My buddy had a few
Girls like 5 weeks into flowering. Buds were starting
To chunk up and looking
Real nice. 2 of his girls went herm. He bout that Dutch master reverse and saturator. It's a foliar Spray the reverses a female plant from growing male parts. I didn't talk
To him until after he did it about 2 weeks later. He's like "Captain" this stuff
Works. I sprayed em nice and heavy and then 10 days
Later an baam no more balls. He was stoked. I start looking at his girls Because they were almost ready. They were at like 50 days. So I'm checking trichs and smelling
Them and I see some dead leaves coming
Out of some buds. I gave it a tug and it came right off. So I start really looking in between the stems and sure enough bud rot. Had to sit there for a few hours checking all his plants and cutting rotted bud away. He lost about 30% of his total harvest to bud Rot in the end after removing
It all. I also had another new grower friend who did a fantastic grow. Got about a pound outdoors off of 5 girls. Hung dried his plants for a couple days and for some reason beyond me didnt brown bag em or even hang dry them long
Enough put them in tupperwares In his dresser. Didn't know what he was doing at all and left them there for a few days didn't even check on them. Well when he did boy did he
Cry. All the moisture still left in the buds and stems because it wasn't properly dried came out, condensation filled every Tupperware then dripped back on the bud. It can happen at anytime if you don't know what your doing. Always ask questions. It's always better to just say hey I dont know how to do this can someone help me rather then want
To look cool and say yea man I know what
I'm doing and just do things your not sure
Of. No such thing as a dumb question when it comes to growing in my eyes. Nothing worse then seeing someone lose there plants or whole harvest. I've seen it a couple times. It makes you physically Ill.
 
Good stuff Captain cure -- thanks for time.
 
yeah tell me about it..it makes me ill just when something goes ever so slightly wrong, nevermind when something catastrophic happens..sheeeeeit!
anyhow i was just messaging squid a bit ago that i did a pretty thorough inspection, and the buds look like no harm has been done (knock, knock!) i have, however, a small oscillating fan on low blowing a slight breeze on all the bud tops from both angles for a little while, just for piece of mind. ill put the fans back to their normal spots in about an hour or so, wouldnt want to dry them out either! but hey, thank you so much for your help man, even though i only know you and squid from here, when it comes to helping me with my grow, you guys truly are my friends..oh yeah and noods too! shit i dont want anyone else to get offended, so if i forgot you, you know who you are!
 
No problem bro this Is what it's all about. Always here to help. Yea I just got home from work after 14 hours and medicated for the first time. Got all zoned out and went on a rambling rant story rampage. In person the 2nd paragraph is around the time when my wife tells me to shut
Up lol.
