Guy from this area told me about something he bought on the 'zon, Green Cure, it's mostly potassium bicarbonate. He'd been having problems with bud rot, and then he bought this stuff. He used it as a preventive during flowering and didn't lose anything. I got some of the straight chemical, used it the same way, and only lost one tiny side bud to botrytis last year. It works the same way as sodium bicarbonate, only it's more effective. It can be washed off the buds, and it's safe for human consumption. They use it in winemaking to adjust the ph of wines that are too acidic. Brewer's supply shops/sites sell it by the pound, and since you only use 5ml per litre it'll last a long while. I'll be using it again this year.

Thanks Jim I'm going to read up on that stuff and check it out sounds like a good tool to have in the grow tool box. :)
 
BC here. Anyone growing in the western Fraser Valley?

Starting my 12/12 cycle next weekend for end of Oct harvest. Growing outdoors so throwing a tarp over the plants.

My concern is going into October it can be pretty damn wet around here, humidity wise. My plan is to have a fan or two blowing through the buds. If you grow in this area any issues with bud rot or mould?
 
Hey CanadianJim is this the right stuff?

Hi Mr. King Welcome to the group, I'm all the way in the east but I'm sure someone from the west coast will drop in to help out. Canadian Jim just told us about... Green cure... It kills mold spores and mildew without harming the plant and enviroment you might want to check that stuff out for the issue you were talking about.

I’ll look for it, or I’ll pop into a wine supply store and get the potassium bicarbonate. Might as well be preventative!!

Yes, that's it. I use the active ingredient itself, as it was easier and cheaper to find, but that's what the guy in my area uses. Just be careful with the dosage, I use between 1/4 and 1/2 of what they recommend. When I used it at full strength it turned my pistils brown prematurely. It didn't have any other negative effect that I noticed, flowering went on as if nothing had happened.

I have seen a lot of fellow Canadian growers asking Canadian specific questions on sourcing seeds, growing nutrients, lighting , grow medium etc. I have not yet seen an area where Canadian growers can go and source information without having to jam up all the other area's of the forum searching for other Canadian growers to source information from.

Great idea Eh, there is nothing more annoying than reading on here about a great product/s, then come to realize it will cost 5 times the price to get into this country.

Glad to have ya aboard! :)
 
Look at all these friendly Canadians in here! Central Alberta is where I get to call home!

Just flipped some Hindu Kush into flower on my first grow, had really good success cloning, and learning a lot already from members on the site. What a great group here!
 
Another Albertan here. I have been indoor growing about 40 years now. Not sure how you outdoor guys can deal with bugs, mold, and frost. Mind you, the sun is a lot cheaper to run than indoor lights.
 
Welcome to the group Dusted and DutchinAB glad to see some albertan's make their way here! :) Missed seeing the stampede this year hope next year it will be back better then ever. :)
 
There is a whole thread out there somewhere . alberta growers lounge. I think its called. Fairly recent too

The Alberta Growers Lounge

I’ve been seeing a lot of these types of pages around on the 420 Magazine. I decided to make one for us Alberta Growers. Here we can introduce ourselves, share pictures of our outdoor grows, indoor grows, new set ups, and maybe even post about sales going on in any of our local hydroponic...
