A Patient's Guide to Mold, Mildew and Mites

Just finished this and would love some feedback from everyone. I tried to keep it simple, concise and only a page long so it wouldn't be too onerous to actually bring in to a shop.

From our blog: A Patient's Guide to Recognizing Mold, Mildew and Mites in MMJ | blog.thereleafcenter.com

To download the last two, simply right click and select "Save link as..." in most browsers.

that's a great start.

I'd like to see more pics of dried samples that have the issues.

maybe talk about what patients can use to view the nugs, a link to a pocket-scope, or what to look for in one...

Scopes are going to be in the next one. I'm going mostly off of pics from the internet and that we've taken of samples that have come in. We're letting a bud mold to get pics at various stages, too. If anyone has any photos, it would be appreciated.

You will smell spidermite damage before you truly notice it (unless you're looking at every leaf for white spots where they've pierced cells.) It begins as a fresh cut grass smell and starts to turn into the smell of curing hay over a couple of days.

Every single time I smell it, it's a mite infestation.

We were talking tonight about what exactly bud mold smells like. How do you guys describe it?

I think the basement analogy is good. I've smelled some that had a cat urine oder. back in the day, brick weed on the cat smell.

oops, sorry.

Musty basement, bingo!

Between the "Serinade" and Neem, My basement is pretty musty! :o

I use these products seldom (Only as a preventative measure, and never in flower but the scent lingers)

P.S. I have cats, and they produce a different smell than anything I've done to my plants! :eek:

This made me lol. It's almost like a basement that had a cat in it a long time ago. Or some wet pet smell.
