Grumpy Toad's Fall Fruity Fiasco

[Garlic Man]

Nice Grumpy ! Too bad about the rot but it happens when the buds are hard compact like that. I saw thst happening more and more with led lamps and the way the bud structures with them compared to HID lamps where the buds were a bit fluffier and less compact.

Lovely plants

Nice finish all things considered. Bud rot can spread quickly so removing quickly and getting things pulled up was 100% the correct desicion I'd say.

I've been reading a little around IPM methods recently and it would seem microbial tea foliar may be the answer to preventing botrytis outbreaks. I've did used to foliar with microbial tea, but not to circumvent botrytis outbreaks.

I trimmed up the Midnight Moonlight and Orange Runtz Cake. The others need another day or two. Couple photos:

Everything is trimmed and in Grove bags with mini hygrometers. I spent quite a lot of time inspecting the buds because of the mold I found in the Midnight Moonlight. I found two more spots in the top bud of Lemon Jeffery which was inches away from the first siting. I used my loupe to look into the buds as I trimmed. The larger buds I broke down enough to see inside. All in all it could have been much worse.

The Lemon Jeffery and Orange Runtz Cake were topped and the others were allowed to grow with just some LST. Midnight Moonlight and Orange Runtz Cake both had the swollen calyx with less leaves and the other three showed the leafy, less dense growth. Lemon Jeffery is quite the grower and outpaced everything else both in size and output.

Here are the weights for each as they went into storage. I'm not really concerned with weight but with limited grow space it is nice to have something to store up. I've grown a couple strains that just didn't put out. If they had blow my socks off when I consumed them I probably would run them again. But so far that hasn't happened.

Midnight Moonlight 106 grams
Orange Gasm 53 grams
Lemon Jeffery 186 grams
Mandarin Cookie Haze 88 grams
Orange Runtz Cake 125 grams

I'm working on my after-action report and my plan for improvement now. I wasn't going to get started right away again but I'm not traveling in January so"Rock & Roll"!

I will submit a smoke report in a few weeks before this gets moved to finished status.

Peace!
