OldFord Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 A warning for any of the plastic greenhouse growers , poss greenhouse growers and most def tunnel growers !! a small bonus of being so early in the season means its mainly autos but early fems will still be at risk. Be vigilant. The weather conditions over the next week or so are PRIME ROT conditions boys & girls Get the sides lifted up . get anything that will open ... opened up , get that air moving !! If the inside of your growing shelter is wet to the touch .... so are your buds The very best of luck with the runs and dont take the gamble for the sake of a few days more cooking 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindSoup Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Wise words mate, I've seen so many crops go to mush in Greenhouses/polytunnels. I'm like a broken record on here warning people to get some airflow going . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphyblue Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Defo wise words u wont beat the rot. Weather down this way is we are on the second day of it being wet and humid and set to continue till midweek. Speaking from last years fight against the rot this years plan is if its near and any rot spotted get it down and save what u can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CustardVape Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I've already lost a few grams to rot cos I was clumsy with my hosepipe. That mould takes hold fast so you got to be on your toes and look for signs... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFord Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 Anyone been unlucky enough ? I had to take down 2 lovely fems to avoid further incidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertshaman Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) I've lost about half an ounce so far from 4 plants in total..all autos (auto Malawi nl by ace seeds) I installed a massive industrial fan in the tunnel suspended from the bars after the second incidence few weeks back which has helped airflow massively...

DutchFox Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) high temperature and high humidity = perfect storm for rot....... in bloom ....if nessesary...use only a plastic roof and airflow from all 4 sides.....wind is your friend... === green houses are nice for early start...it gets the temp of air and soil fast upto 18 degrees...so optimal for autos early start. without greenhouse early plant out for semi is may....autos june.. anything lower as 18 degress slows grow of the plant...especially autos...
