Hey Bob, quick question for you if you don't mind brother. I am growing in organic KindSoil, and doing well. An issue has snuck up on me. One of the strains I am growing (Alaskan Thunderfuck) is supposedly a pure sativa. Its branch structure is weaker than my other strains and the buds are getting too heavy (terrible problem to have I know). People that grow hydro or in coco use silica to strengthen the cells in the plants. IS there a product that people who grow in living soil can use that will do the same thing and not screw up the soil? Figured you might be a good person to ask. Sorry for the off topic question and appreciate anything you have to offer. Thanks!!

Hey VS, give protekt by dyna-gro a look for a nice foliar spray, and kelp teas are also another great way.
Thanks for the advice Rhein. I need something LOL, my buds are falling over and I still have 35 days in flower for that strain.
I have a pack of Labyrinth on the way, your girls are making drool and slobber all over my phone. Cant wait now!
DT and Lab are both looking like they will treat you real well. Congrats on the new pup too, she's a beaut.

Just acouple cents, and I really can't afford to throw to many of these around,,, isn't too many pennies left in the bank nowadays... But I have found if one is dealing with PM and can't rid themselfs of it, that Green Cleaner sems to work. If you find it early, I woodn't want to spray a whole plant down with water and hope to combat PM or Rott. But I did find a touch of PM on a auto I'm playing with. I spot sprayed that bud and haven't seen any since. Alot of things work,, but this seems pretty solid.... GL and Keepem Green

Sorry for the late reply - been out of town in the wilderness. ^^^^ that is what I do!
then if that doesn't work since its probably too late to matter ... tie the girl up and tell her to keep growing. Heavy buds is a good problem to have , I love when that happens.
Woody no pm no pm no pm.... who has pm? My wife used to get that shit is was a bitch to deal with...... oh wait.....
I'll hopefully have a beautiful big ass flowers chopping party in the next few days.

Thanks for the reply bob, I appreciate it. I started using a little bit of Kelp, and i bought some plant yo-yos (those things are great by the way) to help hold up the heavier colas. I will start giving them kelp earlier on the next grow.
I must have been confused and was thinking of someone else dealing with the PM issues. See I told ya,, wasn't too many pennies left in the bank nowadays.
Looking at the pic you posted of the red colored trichomes. I had one turn bright pink once. I mean electric. I figured she'd turn dark and look purple as she matured, but it stayed. The keff even looked purple. You have some pretty ladies growing on.

Hey Woody.. yeah I get PM from time to time... been spraying the VEG plants (before flowers form) with Horsetail Fern tea along with IPM ... I haven't seen it ever since ... my flower room was 79% RH last night after lights out and there's PM growing on outdoor plants. Its hot as shit and humid.. time to chop and get the heck outta here.
Once the RH is up over 70% going to be likely I will get PM somewhere. Some plants deal with it but strains that are not used to high heat and humidity dont do so well. I have been particular about strain choices but some like Chemdawg get PM and I won't likely stop growing that strain until of course something else better shows up in the mail!!
Hey bud... don't sell yourself short, a few cards short of full deck, but prolly just the jokers bro!
It's about my turn to slow down .... this heat and humidity is getting to me.... girls seem to be liking it tho!
We are all a little off in our own ways Norcal!
Man I got a lot more reading to do now ... haha subbed in thanks for saying ....

Wow... that was a long time ago.... things have changed a little since then.
Perpetual still but I've got a completely different setup now.
A little update .... Coming down the back stretch with this round of ladies. We are at roughly 45 -50 days of flower and many of my girls are finished or very close. RH in the flower room is off the charts.... its been in the 70s most of the week and at night its gotten up into the high 80s. Last night the RH after lights out was 89%. I'm surprised there isn't dew dripping off the leaves at lights on. The humidity is terrible this summer. In the house we have AC going so the plants hang dry in the low humidity or they would be compost for sure.
Thankfully no PM or mold yet. I have Horsetail Fern Tea I sprayed the plants with all thru VEG. It works!
Horsetail Fern Tea:
Make some tea like you would normally brew up some green or black tea use a handful or so of dried Horsetail ferns. Let the Horsetail Ferns steep in the hot water until it's cool..I brew the tea in a quart mason jar. Put the cooled tea in the fridge. Use about a 1/4 cup or so of tea to a gallon of RO water and foiler on all the plants in VEG. I do this usually weekly up until switch to flower and do it a few more times in flower as well. Won't hurt the flowers but not really needed after the switch.
The soil in the pots is getting tired. My yields are starting to fall off a little but noticeably so we will take all the AutoPots and dump the soil into the compost pile and start a new batch of soil next round. I've already mixed it up and its waiting.... Not sure if I have enough for 10 7gal pots tho.
So that's it.. nothing but water and that's automated so all I do is check for pests every day and stake up the leaners which I've got a lot of. Some bent over branches on a few plants. The Chemdawg clones plants are bushy this round and going to be a pile of flowers at trim time.
Speaking of trim time... I've got an early finisher Labyrinth that's been hanging for a week... still VERY sticky with very little smell. Usually they start to smell when drying but maybe I'm used to it. The house sorta smells when I come in from outside but not very strong.
Some bud shots of this round:
This is 1/2 the flower room from standing back a few feet:
Devils Tit there in the middle she's got a lot of yellow, some Acapulco Gold traits coming thru on this one maybe.. too much yellow to be fade. Hopefully a little purps will show up before long.
Close up of DT... a little purps starting to show... not from cool weather cause it's been in the 80s and 90s the whole run. This is a good plant to grow if RH is high... lots of spacing between flowers and she seems to not care about the heat or high RH. Not much frost yet but thats going to change.
DT close up - buds don't look like much, but they don't shrink down after drying. This is my personal stash for vacation next month.
The sativa really shining thru on this one. Amazing the finish time is 50 days. I think that says something about the breeder knowing how to cross genetics and come out with a winner. This can be some serious face plant if you're not used to it. Took me about a week to get in the groove, she still kicks my ass if I'm not careful. The longer the cure the stronger the meds!
More DT
I think this is some Chemdawg lower buddage
Chemdawg again...
Labyrinth #2
Labyrinth #2
Labyrinth #2 close up - covered in frost. These plants are sticky AF, going to be hard to dry em.
Labyrinth #3 - starting to foxtail
Labyrinth #1 - she's thinking of fox tailing too... not going to be enough time tho, likely she gets the chop today at or right before lights out. I'm chopping at lights out due to the REALLY high humidity at night. I'm thinking the lights will keep them relatively dry so gonna make hay while the sun shines.... as they say. Usually I harvest in the AM right before lights on...
Chemdawg... she's mess... all over the place but she's in the back and I cannot get access to her easily until someone gets the chop. She's a pretty big girl. Easily 3.5' across and flopping all over... well I guess we are going to let the buds get some underneath lighting on some of the flowers! She looks pretty good other than the messy skirt... not too compact and I've had a few fans on her from the beginning - if any of these plants get mold this one will be the one but she's looking good so far.

Nice pictures bob!! Glad to hear that horsetail ferns are helping you combat that high humidity.
