InTheShed Grows Inside & Out: Jump In Any Time

How about a top-of-the-page update on the canola oil spray testing I've been doing for the Powdery Mildew growing on my Candida mother!

I've been testing a 0.3% canola oil solution on the Candida mother for about 10 days now, and here is the result after the most recent 5 day interval, recommended in the study I posted back here:

And the whole mess of a plant:

It kinda looks like it removes the PM and what's left is where the PM took the chlorophyll from the leaves. I'm not seeing a lot of new PM but there is some. It could be a result of the fact that there is way too much foliage on there, particularly for a mother plant. So before I sprayed it again, I did this:

And the 5-day clock starts again. If it continues to work as it is, I'll post pics of the way I made it the mix. I've been saving that until I knew if it was at all effective!

I hope your week is going according to plan. :ciao:

Ohh it’s “Marine Layer” season as you folk down in LA like to call it? We always called in fog up in the Bay hahahahaha
I worked in Santa Monica and Hollywood for a while and thought it was hilarious when people would groan about the marine layer.

Similar but probably different from a meteorological perspective. Also, your fog season is way longer than our marine layer season, and probably why no one coined the phrase "sunny northern California"! :laugh:
 
I had such a good laugh when I saw what you did to the mom! Typical. :laugh:

I thin pretty heavily, but I could never cut a mother plant the way @ProfessorFlora would:

That took serious chutzpah!

Outdoor Ping Pong? Your such a Party Animal!

LOL thanks MedSci! To have space for an indoor ping pong table I'd need to quadruple my salary. :)

My parents used to play ping pong whenever they happened upon a table, and my dad and I played until he no longer had the balance (in his 80s). My son finally beat me 2 out of 3 last year, but it has gotten more use for beer pong lately, that's true. Kids!

I have one in the garage that I bring out for parties! Ok, maybe 2 parties in the last 4 years. Floor space is not available in the house here either. But I am ready to throw away some stuff to make room for a ⛺️ tent! ❤️

Is yours foldable? If not, get one to make room for the tent and the table. Just roll the table in front of the garage for the games!
 
That's good progress with canola! Interesting how it's bleaching!?

Turns out that:
"Powdery mildew can kill plants by blocking the chlorophyll in the leaves from sunlight."

So I wonder if those pale areas will green up after a few days in the sun. Oh wait, they're in the bin. Well...most of them are! :)

Yes it is foldable, otherwise they become laundry tables and/or junk collectors! 😃

Oh, don't forget to wipe the resin off! Could make Game play a Challenge!

I had to look up that marina time I am no where close to the coast well 3 hrs. give or take and no jack about it .
Click to expand...
I think even if you lived on the coast you wouldn't get a marine layer like we do because of the jet stream moving west to east. It pushes ocean moisture and clouds on shore in the mornings until the sun has a chance to burn it off, usually around 1 or 2pm. It's really a May/June thing in Los Angeles and by July we're usually back to clear skies all day.
