Dayum, sorry to hear that Rex. Seems to be a thing this year with the rot. I don't remember seeing it around the site so much last year this time.

Thanks Shed.Dayum, sorry to hear that Rex. Seems to be a thing this year with the rot. I don't remember seeing it around the site so much last year this time.
That's the article I got my target temp from . I decided to go slightly higher, and slightly longer to ensure the interior of the buds got up to the desired temp.Sorry, not me. I only get botrytis outside. I did find this but can't read the full article without requesting it from the authors:
Oh, your tent with the plants in it? I thought you meant to clear the tent of spores after harvest.I can't see it hurting to give it a go.
Well, I've already lost one cola and these colas are very dense and heavy...(king can beer sized ), and i know this stuff spreads fast. If it was present enough for me to spot it, the spores are everywhere.Oh, your tent with the plants in it? I thought you meant to clear the tent of spores after harvest.
Not sure how the plant will respond to a sudden increase to 106ºF though. In real life that happens over the course of a few hours.
Thank you, and that they did, I wasn't too worried as it wasn't for long. 41C for 10 min, with low humidity apparently kills boytris (though admittedly i did read too deeply into the document)..Good luck Rex, I'm sure the plants will tolerate the heat better than the botrytis.
Thanks N420!To bad about the bud rot Rex, I’ve never heard of using high temperatures to control bud rot but it does make some sense.
I’ve dealt with Powdery Milldew a few times and had bud rot once that I can remember. I’ve learned the best way to prevent it is not having large swings in temp and humidity from lights on to lights off, ever since I’ve put that into practice in my garden my mold problems ( knock on wood ) are a thing of the past.
Right and wrong.It might be better to lower the temps. I think mold and mildew thrive in hot and humid conditions.
My dehumidifier and AC are both inside the tent. It's supposed to eliminate such risks but, my new dehumidifier isn't that great. I'll have to save up for another different one.If your dehumidifier is outside of the tent like mine is, try pointing the adjusted air it puts out towards your intake.
It seems to help get my tent into the right range even when the lung room is still too high in humidity.
But all this damn rain man... I feel for you. I had a bit of mold in the tent just a few weeks ago.
I’m quite interested to see how it turns out, we could all learn something from it!admit, it's a bit of a novel, and possibly useless thing to have tried, as it's not something I've read on people doing either. I figured worse was I wasted a few minutes and bit of electricity.
Before you buy another dehumidifier it might be worth trying to connect it to a humidity controller.You can see how the dehumidifier is cycling. It's on "continuous" mode .
It's also rated for 800sq ft. I think my next one will be a different brand.
She took it like a champ!
Thanks N420!Before you buy another dehumidifier it might be worth trying to connect it to a humidity controller.
I use one for my dehumidifier, it’s a lot more reliable then using the sensor built into the dehumidifier itself. I keep the dehumidifier on continuous mode and the humidity controller turns it on and off, the built in sensor in my dehumidifier was way off and the controller keeps the humidity where I want it.
Thank you, she's a stunner, and I'm looking forward to her harvest. I'm clueless as to how much I'll get dried and cured from her, but if I don't loose more to mold, I should get 150+ grams.Either way, the plant is looking great man. Cheers.
Thanl you. I really hope it killed off any loose spore floating in the tent. It certainly didn't harm anything, and it made me feel betterPlants look like they barely cared, hope it got rid of the rot.
That's the dehumidifier cycling.Is that your dehumidifier cycling or your exhaust fan kicking on due to the heat? The problem with a dehumidifier in a tent is that if the exhaust is running it's hard for the dehumidifier to keep up. With a large dehumidifier in the room, it's easy to control the humidity in the tent with the exhaust fan. Hopefully you can get your new grow room up soon
I just set the dehumidifier to a higher Rh then I would want in the tent. Then have the Rh controller set to the rh I actually want, that way the Inkbird or in my case the Trolmaster sensor tells the dehumidifier to come on before the internal one in the dehumidifier itself is triggered to operate.Without opening up the unit, to bypass the built in RH sensor, how would you do that? I have an Inkbird humidistat, but that will only provide power to the dehumidifier, and ultimately the internal sensor would get the "final" say?
Thanks N420! Though it looks like the problem has been solved.I just set the dehumidifier to a higher Rh then I would want in the tent. Then have the Rh controller set to the rh I actually want, that way the Inkbird or in my case the Trolmaster sensor tells the dehumidifier to come on before the internal one in the dehumidifier itself is triggered to operate.
I should mention I have my dehumidifier in the tent and not outside in the lung room.
Edit: realized after I posted that you have your dehumidifier in the tent as well my bad
That’s so great to have the support of your wife on your passion for growing, she’s a keeper! She reminds me of Mrs. N she is always very supportive of my growing adventures!her reply? Take it from our savings (we don't have lots), and don't wait for more bud rot.
Some nice specs on the dehumidifier! Looks like it has a good size holding tank for the water, Ive been on the lookout for one with a bigger tank. I’m pretty sure mine is a 30 pint I end up emptying it twice a day at the peak of flower!Optimal Size Room: 1500-5000 Sq.Ft
