I have a bud that has a mold smell its been pretty humid for a while do i have to worry about it spreading to other plants? Theres 5 diff strains and only 1 smells a lil moldy

can you see a ny mold? have you looked in the bud.. see if theres any mold if there is take it out

ok... 1 stem on a diff plant has 2" of white/grey fuzzy mold with black underneath. I'm assuming its botrytis? i really dont want to remove that plant but i dont want to put the whole crop at risk... if i rub it off, spray it with an anti fungal and wrap it with copper foil and Duck tape it could i safely get a couple more weeks of growin out of it? I read botrytis can destroy a crop within a week so i'm a lil confused. Is spraying the buds with fungicide ok?

96% humidity today and cloudy cooler temps not lookin good for bud development...

Remove immediatly any signs of mold as it will spred very quickly and get it away from the garden. If you have to kill a plant, sorry, but do it or you risk your whole crop. I take it this is outside? If not, then get that humidity down as fast as you can. Once that mold is in a room, it can come back any time. After harvest you must wash EVERYTHING with bleach, even the inside of your fans, walls, ceilings, everywhere. And also you must be extrememly vigilant during drying of the buds as this has severe health affects to the people smoking this bud. You must remove it immediatly. If it is just on one part of a plant, then sacrifice that branch and bud. You cannot spray buds with anything. It will only cause more problems and will make the mold more prevalent. Avoid wetting any buds if this is present.

If you do not do this, then you risk it all.

And if this is in a room you need to get that humidity down to 40% or under FAST!

Their outside... I just went and checked on em and all of em are gettin a smell. i clipped the one with the strongest mold smell and clipped the bud apart and sure enough tiny bit of rot(brown mush) in it! Barely any rot, but still The humidity is outta control and its been raining pretty often. the sun hasn't been out for days either. i'm gonna have to clip em today or the bud rot is just going to get worse i take...?

Un fortunately that is a fact. I have seen some growers in Britten set up kind of like a rain cap, so the rain cannot fall on the buds when they are getting ready to harvest, in order to avoid this. Just plastic suspended over some type of support to keep the rain from hitting the buds.

When you harvest the buds, make sure you pull them apart as much as you can, so all the parts are spred out and dry them fast, with fans, heat whatever you have to use, to keep the humidity down. Indoors you can use a dehumidifier for this part and keep the humidity as low as you can. You will find that some will have it deep in the center of the buds. Some say you can use these for hash, but I would not do it as it can cause severe breathing problems in people. This stuff is deadly. Do not keep any bud with this problem and if you have indoor plants, keep them well away from this. I would go so far as saying shower and change clothes before even going near inside plants. And if you can, burn the molded parts of the plants. This way the spores are killed.

Sorry buddy, that sucks big time, but it is one of the major problems growing in wet climates or wet conditions.

There are also many types of herb bred to fight this problem especailly in BC, Canada as this is a very humid part of our country and this has wiped out many grows.

Good luck buddy. I am sooo sorry for your loss, but that is the chance we take growing outdoors.

Peace
