That's a bummer dude. Keep a close eye on that area because it seems you can never get rid of it once it's there. Good luck mate.

Yes mate i wasnt impressed when i noticed it. I will be keeping an extra close eye out. Im really gutted also about the size off her as all my other autos have been alot bigger and cause ive changed the light from 400w hps to 300w led, normal pots to airpot and my soil im just not sure which one has let me down lol.
 
I doubt it would be the light or the soil. It's all about humidity. Maybe you could try clay pebbles or sand on top of the soil to retain moisture. It's the evaporation that will create the moisture in the air. It could be those pots with holes in the side. My thinking is that there is a lot of air exposure to damp soil all the way down the pot. It's just a guess but I doubt it's the soil or lights.

On my next grow i will try a seed in a normal pot and a seed in an airpot and see what thw difference is. Plus by then i will have an extra led in there. I think that will be the best??
 
Wow thats tall. My biggest is just shy off 3 foot i think, it is the purple cheese at the beggining off my journal but normally i get at least one and a half oz dry from my plants and Annie is no where near that.

Bit iff a nightmare today. Looked in on ladies and noticed that half off Annies main cola has mould so ive cut off infected areas and plan on flushing her tonight and chop her in a week. all off the other buds are ok also i now have fungus knats i think these problems maybe from when i moved them outside for a few days??? as im choping Annie in a week i will then finish roadrunner off outside and then i can disinfect the tent completly.

Pic off the mould on bud.

Sorry to hear about the mould man. I was hoping to escape that problem due to my grow being indoors. I always thought mould was an outdoor thing due to spores, but I guess not. Thanks for the pic. That pic and your convo with MedFarmer is a really good education. Much appreciated.

:peace:

They recommend that the KC45 be grown outdoors which I have done and they have only been in flower for less than 2 weeks and I'm worrying that we are running out of time for them to flower properly. I put them into the garden before the end of June. That was a long vegging time.

Bad news on the mould issue dude, keep your eyes peeled for any more developing coz the spores can get everywhere when you cut out affected areas.

Thanks for the tip skunny mate i will be keeping an extra eye on her.
 
I know it's no good for flowers but I found that mould could be stopped on the stalks with everyday wet-wipes. It just leaves a scar on the stalk where the mould had been feeding. The advantage of wep-wipes is they keep hold of the spores on the moist surface. May I suggest if there is any parts of flowers that need to be removed then wrap a wet-wipe around the area before breaking it off. This should contain spores that may otherwise float away to another part of the plant.

Cheeres for that med. Im now thinking that i might jyst chop her down now and be done with it.
 
I will prob have ti wait till tomorriw night to chop when no ones around. Mapilot i really dont know what caused it and i seems that it only on the main cola.
 
I now know how i gave Annie mould. Last time i watered her i was in a bit off a rush and forgot to empty the run off water from the plate under the pot. This has caused the moisture for the mould. I feel like a dumb ass now but at least people that come across this post will have a heads up and wont make this mistake i guess. Annie will be getting the chop in a few hours time so i will post some pics off her later.

A lesson learned mate. We've all messed up at some time or other and it helps us improve.
