A spoonful of baking soda in a gallon of water.
Then add a bit of safers soap.
Spray the heck out of them.
Kills the mold.
Mouthwash in water works too but I've never used it.
Hope your enjoying your weekend.




Stay safe

Is this for the bud rot? Or the yellow leaf issue I posted above?

Is this for the bud rot? Or the yellow leaf issue I posted above?

This problem started from excessive heat 106F then followed by fog and high winds. I read a post somewhere on here where someone treated the yellow spots on their leaves with Cal mag with zero nitrogen and I thought that might be something to consider I’m not sure if this is Septoria or calcium deficiency because the spots do not look round?

 

[InTheShed]

Now my plants are infected with what i believe is with yellow leaf spot” or “leaf septoria" I'm trying to remove all the leaves with the spots.

I'm not sure that's septoria, which almost always is circular with black spots in the middle. I had it back in June:

My advice would be to pull off the leaves if they look like that, but my guess is it's more from the heat than anything else. BeezLuiz had heat damage to his leaves last week in NorCal here.

Will it affect the quality my buds? So close to harvest!

Even if it was septoria I'd say you're too close to harvest to make much difference to the buds unless it was really affecting most of the leaves.

Thank so much. OK well I’ll just let it ride and not treat if that’s what you recommend. I do have one plant I had to pull off a lot of the leaves because they all had yellow blotches.

I'm sure they're bushy enough to handle it!

Hi y'all! CAN WE TALK ABOUT PREPARING FOR/WHEN to HARVEST??
Todays check:
Trichomes: today are about 99 fully cloudy on the Brachts
Little hairs: are amber/brown and laying down mostly.
Amber: on the sugar leaves onlybut barley any on the Brachts.
Drinking: drinking has really slowed down, but the weather has serious cooled also.
Today after checking I thought HMMMMM.. I may only have a few weeks till harvest possibly at end of month.

I watched a vid (by Kyle Kushman on Trichome development ) he feels that usually takes about a week or possibly 2 for them to go from clear to ALL milky (heads and the stems of trichomes) and about another 1 weeks week till they they start to turn Amber. (he likes to harvest at about 10% amber and wait for a bit of degrading.)

My plants have been in the soil for at least 143 to 160 days ( not exactly sure cause they were a few weeks old seedlings the i got them.
Vendor info below says 60 to 70 days of flower.
i saw my first full flower on all plants on Aug 1st . that would mean i've been flowering about 45 days putting me at a window of about 9/30 to 10/9th till harvest.

NOW..I do realize that every grow is not a math formula! All things considered, including their drinking habits I think that's all the right information. YES?

K then!
Should I keep feeding them? I know that flushing doesn't scientifically have any effect on the plant any way but wanted to ask if they need to be fed right up till harvest. Please look at the pics and let me know if you think i'm on track if you can. Thanks in Advance!

Just out of curiosity, was he dealing with indoor or outdoor plants?

With outdoor plants you don't pay any attention to trichome color because of the sun's effect on trichomes. Outdoor growers who harvest by an indoor gauge (clear/cloudy/amber) are losing a lot of their potency.

@BeezLuiz discovered that by harvesting based on the standard tent-based reading of amber it left him with low THC numbers and zero CBN. Here are his tests results.

Vendor info below says 60 to 70 days of flower.

That's an indoor measurement. If a breeder gives an outdoor harvest window they do it by month, like "early October." You can't count flower days outside and use it like they were indoors at 12/12 from day 1.

All things considered, including their drinking habits

I would say that drinking habits are 80% of the way to tell when to harvest outside plants (as in barely drinking anymore). The other 20% are a combination of change in smell and change in look.

Should I keep feeding them? I know that flushing doesn't scientifically have any effect on the plant any way but wanted to ask if they need to be fed right up till harvest.

If you were running out of nutes I would say you could go the last week without feeding them, but you don't really know when that last week is! So no reason to feed until harvest.

 

[LKV]

Shed, thank you so much I learn a shit ton every time you reply!
NoKyle didn't mention outdoors vs, indoor.
OK Drinking habits 80% -20% smell and change in the how they look? Did you mean degradation? Only 10% Trichomes?
I am low on notes probably enough for 1 more feeding for 6 plants. Guess i'll stop when i run out if you think that's ok. How did you think the plants " LOOK" today ?

 

[InTheShed]

Drinking habits 80% -20% smell and change in the how they look? Did you mean degradation?

Degradation of the whole plant. You'll know when it starts to tell you it's done.

Only 10% Trichomes?

80+20=100! 0% trichomes.

How did you think the plants " LOOK" today ?

I think they look frosty and like they're loving the cooler weather!

@BeezLuiz discovered that by harvesting based on the standard tent-based reading of amber it left him with low THC numbers and zero CBN. Here are his tests results.

I read the tread i didn't see the info about when he harvested, but saw the results which were horrible! I do remember last year you shared with me a post ( i thought it was BeezLuiz) who was following trichom development, he tested a week before harvest when his THC was at hit peak but waited to harvest a week after and lost a LOT of Thc. NO? Last year that info made me inpatient! I harvested 1 plant a week before the rest my plants (as it broke in half). It tested only 13%. Let the other 3 plants go 10 days later and got 17% from them. I do remember how different the last ones looked before harvesting the higher TCH. the Degradation was very apparent. Why does everyone only discuss the emphasis on the Trichomes?

OMG NO trichomes! shit! i wasted money on shitty clip on loupes and not of them fit my iphone 12 pro BOO. Do you even look at your Trichomes at all ?

I don't recall that post and it definitely wasn't BL.

There you go...proved it to yourself!

Why does everyone only discuss the emphasis on the Trichomes?

Because trichome color is definitely a way to tell if your plants are ripe when you grow under lights.

OMG NO trichomes! shit! i wasted money on shitty clip on loupes and not of them fit my iphone 12 pro BOO. Do you even look at your Trichomes at all ?

Trichome pics are fun and folks like to see and comment on them! I use a wifi scope like this one. Not too expensive from amazon:

You can search "Wireless Digital Microscope, Skybasic 50X-1000X Magnification WiFi Portable Handheld Microscopes with Adjustable Stand HD USB Microscope Camera Compatible with iPhone Android iPad Windows Mac Computer" and find it for $30.

thank you!

Can we upload videos direct from our camera phones on here?

They are recovering nicely from the heat with this cooler weather So here’s my garden vid of all my ladies today!

You can't make the video private and make sure not to include anything in the name or tags that would make it cannabis-related. Youtube makes those age-restricted and 420mag pulls them down.
