is invisable mold a thing because my grow Fing sticks of it

[Rwise]

I pulled a piece of paneling from a wal, it had a warning on the back to not be used for homes. I put it back and sold the place.

im not using it in the flower side but i have intentions to

Great looking closet grow 👍
I wonder if that foam material your using is what’s containing the mold smell.

[Acology]

that's the sort of wood my cupboards are made out of. maybe i should strip it down and add a layer of waterproofed marital like in bathrooms or something

my veg side is lined with sound dampening heat resistance and fire retardant foam like what vans and cars use in engine bays but my flower side is only lined with reflective tape but i have that on a carboarded backing. maybe that has absorbed moisture

the more i think about that the more i feel you may be right in saying i have a vapor barrier trapping stink behind it but cant really check till crops gung and dried

[YYCannabis]

Particle board? Or MDF? Both could be allowing moisture through the wall if there was no vapor barrier.

[Acology]

hmm maybe after this run i will strip the walls back and take a look. i was thinking maybe partial bored puts off that smell when heated up

[YYCannabis]

Looks like you built your own grow space. I’m wondering if you are getting moisture behind your reflective barrier. Is the space well vapor sealed to keep moisture away from the inside of the walls?

I was just telling my wife the same thing MeEasy. I would cut a bud open and look. I hope I'm wrong because that looks like a very nice crop.

Just re read your post ok so when u bust open the bud it smells like mold? Some strains smell diff and a wet plant just chopped has chlorophyll it can take some time for it to get those ripe terpenes.

[Wolfe0420]

Grow medium maybe? Soils can get contamination also cuz ur bud looks good to me. It always sucks but you could try a flush see if that works.

I agree the bud looks fine. I wonder if there is something going on in the pot. Or if water is leaking, condensing or accumulating somewhere. Do you run a dehumidifier?

[Acology]

trics from the bud i cut out the center of the plants not ready but no sine of mold just the stink of it

[Acology]

its a purple strain this is the image from the seller on the page where i got the seeds from looks almost the same just abit crapper

[SoOrbudgal]

Tops look fine to me

[MeEasy]

I might be seeing things but I'm seeing severe bud rot. Those buds are almost completely gray?? I hope I'm wrong but I think it is a total loss. Do you have a magnifying device you can look at the buds under? Bud rot looks like webs under magnification. Again I sure hope I'm wrong
