Yeah, Green Cure treats PM really well.It’s a solid product.

Do you get any moths in your room where your tent is? The one bud you broke open looked like a classic caterpillar hatch. They eat their way through your bud, causing botrytis. If you catch them early, and pick them off you can save it and have less to cut out.

It may not apply here since you grow in a tent, but moths get into anyplace.

Even if it isn’t your cause, it’s how it happens outside. You have to really start combing over your plant after a few weeks into flower. An early tip, if you’re really beginning to pay attention, is that you’ll notice a few moths flying around you yard. If you see more than one, they’re here.

If I see any moths flying in the yard I start checking my plants by giving them a good shake, and lots of time a moth or two will fly out. They land in your plant and lay eggs or whatever they do to produce a caterpillar baby, and it grows up by munching right through the middle of the bud.

If it’s already farther along, while you comb through your buds look for any small brown spot and then investigate. If lucky, you’ll find the small worm and can pick it off and clip that bud and it won’t spread. A few years ago I had a huge plant with lots of large colas, and I only found out after I started looking and then I found a lot.

So, the next year, I was looking for the moths fying around in mid flower, and sure enough you’ll see them. I avoided any problems that next year because I would give the plants a shake a couple of times a day or more. Be careful, as I had one cola that was tall and by shaking the plant the cola broke off, doh!

But, at least where I live in mid September, I’ll see moths flying and then I go to work keeping them out of my plants. It worked great for me. I learned the hard way.

Ah, the joys of gardening cannabis… :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: :hugs:

That’s typical of molding. The aroma dies off to be replaced gradually by a dirty funk. You’ll be super careful and aware of this in future like I have been for 16 years… We’ve all been there bro.

Not enough air movement in tent ??

Just playing back everything I’ve done only difference is bigger nuggets stronger lights same intake exhaust so I’ll just learn from the mistake and carry on

The infestation is old, like 40 days old or more. Humidity above 70% is definitely not good, I try and keep mine at 45%. Also, it does require exposure to the replicating pathogen. The grey mold(botrytis) will liquefy your plant with organic acids.

Yep reduce the spore load and control the humidity at all times. My humidity spikes at 90% sometimes, but I haven’t seen the mold in a long time. I clean the place up like a maniac, getting rid of all filth and dead leaves.

I’d get a magnifying glass and look for hairy mold structures. In the third photo it looks like there could be some mold there, hard to tell for sure. You can usually taste it.

Thanks man I smoked one and got pretty stoned for a three day dry didn’t taste anything funky really but I just decided to take that 35 grams and make edibles with it !

Probably a good move.

The hash idea is also a good one but maybe not for such a small amount.

Edibles are dollar for dollar the best use of your resin if you ask me…even if I don’t do them very often :rofl:
