Went to look at my plants this morning because it had been raining and noticed a little gray mold. I pinched and snipped off the gray parts but did NOT sanitize my hands or clippers before moving to my next plants to trim fan leaves. Now I’m worried that I accidentally spread it just because I was in a panic.
Good news is the weather is getting a little warmer but the humidity is supposed to be around 60 to 65. Where it was just recently a lot higher
Will better weather help the chances of the spreading? Can correct pruning improve air circulation to help stop the spread?
Worried as shit over here lol

I’ve tried dealing with bud rot a lot and I have not found a total cure. I’ve tried spraying with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide (1 part) and distilled water (3 or 4 parts) to try to stop the spread. You should be careful removing the diseased plant … preferably bagging it in a plastic bag to try to limit the mold being spread. Also remove the bigger fan leaves if you haven’t already…you need to open up as much air flow as you can by removing some of the foliage on the plant. If you aren’t sure what I’m talking about, go on YouTube and search for lollipopping and defoliation on marijuana. Some remove more than others so pick a way you feel comfortable with.
Be warned…once bud rot starts, it’s not easy to beat and I’ve lost as much as 50% of my yield to it in some years. Cool and moist and no breeze is not a good combo during flowering.
