BCNL Producer & DIY Cabs 3 Strains

Yeah...I got a bunch of books on how to cure procrastination, I just haven't gotten around to reading them yet! :Hookah:
 
They're looking spry today. Keeping the humidity down a bit from where it was. No signs of the white plague.

You can up the humidity, just keep it level. Humidity swings are what bring PM to life.

Thanks Hash. My humidity range is from both ventilation and day/night temps and the RH results of that. As long as the cuttings can tolerate it I'll remain reluctant to raise the level. Once bitten...

If these cuttings should be affected by PM, the delay would be greater as the moms wouldn't be ready for a while after the reaping they endured.

I appreciate your suggestion.

Eyes on the prize:yummy:

Thank you both. Unfortunately looks can be deceiving. The PM came back fast. I hadn't looked in on things for several hours and what a difference that made. The visible start is the same as with the previous round of cuttings, right in the middle of the leaf trim.

I'm not going to sweat this problem anymore. If I'm taking my cues correctly from the North-westerner's who are prone, accustomed to, and well advised regarding PM, I'm just going to have to live with the problem. It seems the fungi is systemic and the only means of actually killing it inside the plant is to treat with a heavy-hitting product (whose name escapes me), from Canada that cannot be purchased in the states. If the clones are not badly retarded by the necessary sulphur burning I intend to treat the crop right up to about 3 weeks prior to harvest. After that, harvest will take place prior to the next emergence. After the 1st crop... the room gets nuked. If the smoke is of excellent quality, I will then treat the moms (should they survive) with the Canadian voodoo to preserve their lineage.
I may not have treated the room heavily enough before restarting. Water under the bridge.

I'll vaporize again tonight. I'll burn sulpher in the growroom too. ;)
 
WnF,

I don't know if you saw this in my journal, but I picked up this stuff called "Fungicide3" at Lowes. It was $5.46 for 24oz:

Might be a good compliment to your sulfur burner?
 
Thanks kindly Mr. Krip... I did see that. It is a bottled version of pre-mixed Neem Oil which I have already tried to little effect. I used 5ml 100% Cold-Pressed Neem Oil and 2ml soap detergent to one liter warm water. Over, under and around anything green. I've also read numerous times to dispose of the balance as it has little shelf life once mixed, and should therefore be prepared fresh for each application. The results I gained were were not to my satisfaction. Perhaps with bugs if I had them, but certainly not an ongoing fungal issue. This stuff is persistant if anything. Which is why I went with sulphur as I am still hard-pressed to find a source that does not indicate it to be the shit. I do feel that I did not treat heavily enough before cloning again. My reason for that was that I simply didn't want to wipe out the matriarchs. More lessons learned.

Cheers!

Wow it hit you quick! I would definitately get some of that fungicide and treat with that as well. They are young plants and it should not hurt them.

Thanks Tmac. Yeah, it really does it's thing quickly. I will be using a potassium bicarbonate based fungicide shortly. I failed to put in my last post that another reason Neem would fail me is that sulphur burning should not take place within 30 days of Neem treatment as severe leaf burning is likely to occur.
Thanks for the tip... I believe you're right.

Cheers!

Mr. Krip, I need to give you props as I got your suggested product confused with another containing Neem. That is an excellent suggestion and that's what I'll be using with the sulphur.
 
Well, now you have me confused! :)

The "Active Ingredient" in the Fungicide3 is 0.9% neem extract. I don't know what the other ingredients are, but can check if you're interested.

I was aware of neem being used for pests, but not for mold/mildew, so I assumed there was some other ingredient(s) to handle that stuff.

I also am not familliar with sulfur burning, so was unaware of the risks of using together with neem.

So, I'll leave it to you to sort it all out, as long as you're aware there's a cheap product out there that MAY help. :)

There are a lot of products for roses. They tend to get lots of problems in certain situation especially PM. I would check out some of those products.

Thanks Marley, I have. Unfortunately all the topical treatments, save for the Canadian product Meltatox, are nothing but stop-gap measures. As is sulphur really... all it will do is kill what is on the plant, not in it. Therefore periodic burnings will be required to abate the problem. Short of walking through an ultraviolet sterilizer and moving to Siberia, my path is clear.

Okay - I've never used it, but there is a 420 sponser product that might work...? As a possible backup/secondary attack?

SNS 244 FUNGICIDE

Hope you get this damn thing beat soon! :goodluck:

You're very kind xlr8. Your suggestion is sound too. Calling around found that product nowhere in my area. I'm doing the sulphur thing now but tomorrow I'll be going at it with either a bicarbonate solution or a rosemary/thyme-based organic fungicide.

Now that I understand that PM is strictly a matter of control, it should be easier to move forward.

I appreciate your encouragement!
