Boo’s Perpetual Grow Journal

If it's bud rot and you don't see caterpillars then it's the rain and the RH. I don't think additional defoliating will help here as you want the plant to have fans to feed the buds. Some strains are more susceptible, and when you grow outside (or inside with high RH areas and no dehuey), it comes with the territory.

I would pull each individual bud away from the adjoining buds and the stem to get airflow in and around them, and then just keep an eye out for anything new. Take it off as soon as you see it and hope the rain stays away.

:goodluck:

Thanks Shed. I will see what I can come up with!
 
So here is a view of the diy dryer thingy we use for hops. I trimmed the bottom half of the two tent Cindy's this morning, washed them, and put them in the dryer:

And....while trimming I found this:

Will it grow?
 
I completely forgot to congratulate you on the Cindy harvest. :eek:

:party:

It might grow, so if you've got room at some point give it a go! I'd wait at least a month to let it dry out first.

Nice DIY post-wash drying bin. I just hang mine on strings in the garage and angle the box fan at them. It wasn't easy to find a box fan as they are currently in high demand :).
 
So....honey and electrical tape? Ugh.

It looks like it broke at where it was topped. Next time leave a good 1/2' or so of stem and this will help prevent splitting.

So, pull it together with electrical tape (the branch, not my emotions ;))?

lol, keep your emotions in check.
Clear tape or electrical will work fine, yes. You can also tie the branches together higher up with a garden tie or similar to keep it from trying to separate.

Yeah.....that's how I broke it! Ok. A break in the rain - I'll go do it now. Thanks MrS.
 
More seeds have been popping out while the buds are drying. What the hell has been going on in my tent?

You mean I must have had a nanner or two! I'm not complaining. Will be interesting to see if any grow. At this point, I've gotten back four of the 5 seeds I purchased, and I had planned to re-purchase (with more reliable genetics perhaps?).
 
The morning started out cool and muggy... So tired of the humidity. It was still a beautiful morning.

This guy showed up around 1100 and buzzed back and forth for about 45 mins... I did not enjoy that.

Looks like a military helicopter to me. The evening is beginning to set now.

Have a good night all.
 
What MrS said!
 
Morning all. Let's see what is in store for us today...this has been going on here and there on big Momma, but now it is beginning to increase. My research is leaning towards leaf septoria. Shit.

There is now way I can pull all the leaves that are infected. I have a Dr. appt in the city today so I'll swing by the funky little garden center - copper fungicide?
 
From the mycosphaerellaceae family.

How to eliminate septoria?
If your plants have already been attacked by septoria, the first thing you should do is bring the humidity down to a permanent level of about 50%.

At this point you will have to be extra careful with watering, as otherwise you could end up raising the humidity level unintentionally, which would in turn contribute to the development of the disease.

Also, avoid watering in the three hours prior to the turning off of lights, as the excess humidity could build up on the leaves encouraging the growth of the fungi. Another thing you should cut down on is nitrogen fertilizers.

As for the temperature, make sure the day-night temperature difference is always 5 ºC. Living organisms including cannabis need some level of comfort in order to deal with disease, meaning that your plants will recover faster if there are no climate variations.

Next you will have to look at the layout of the pots, allowing enough space between the plants in order to ensure proper ventilation, but most importantly, to avoid that infested plants come into contact with one another further contributing to the development of the disease.

If you'd like to use an organic treatment, again, you can try horsetail tea. Prepare a solution with a 20% concentration as soon as you notice the first symptoms and spray it on the leaves and substrate every fifteen days. At later stages of the disease, however, chemical products including azoxystrobin, mancozeb, maneb, ziram and myclobutanil are preferred, at least initially. And, of course, always remember to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the correct dose and use.

I don't know anything about those things above. Here's some info on copper sulfate
Organic Fungicidal Options
Fungicides may also be harmful for human consumption. Today, many consumers are looking for cannabis grown in a fungicide-free environment. This makes organic fungicides an attractive option. For example, potassium bicarbonate is a natural fungicide that can reduce the spread of powdery mildew and other fungi. Hydrogen peroxide is a related compound that has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties. Adding a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide to plans will inhibit the growth of gray mold and algae.

Similarly, copper sulfate has been used to control fungi on grape vines for centuries. Unfortunately, copper sulfate can damage marijuana plants. Adding lime can partially attenuate this effect. Another effective approach is to use Bacillus subtilis, a strain of bacteria that fights mildew and gray mold without affecting plants.

I don't know enough about the stuff and I'm sure like the conventions one side will say it's good and one side will say it's bad.
