SUMMARY
For those growers who have dealt with botrytis breakouts
in their gardens, it is well known that mold is nearly
undetectable at its outset. As many cultivators have
seen, this pathogen often spreads from the inside
of a bud, rotting precious flowers before it is even
noticed. All things considered, for those that
continue to get mold issues in their grow operations,
better airflow and decreased humidity
are always great starting points. Beyond
that, taking Casad’s advice on growing
cannabis strains with lighter buds could
be a good move. Finally, understanding
which strains are mold resistant, like
The Farm Genetics Blue Dream, is
viable way to counteract mold by
way of biological diversity.
