Do you have to battle PM much? Outdoors or In?
Outdoors EVERY DAMN YEAR but I can't bring myself to not grow mendo outdoors. She's the only one that gets it but she will everytime, drives me nuts like a.pirate with his dick stuck in the wheel lol. I've gotten good at prevention and containment as a result. Had it indoors once but was running c02 at the time so I hit em with 5k ppm for 24 hours then an alkaline foliar spray. Stopped em dead but I keep sulphur on hand just in case.

Budget. :/ very soon sir. Plus my spot is weak, I wouldn't wanna waste a good product on it. I've got a whole shitload of super soil on hand ready to go already as well (I have a wholesale account so I get it in bulk) right before I move indoors again after summer I shave every intention to purchase ur kit. It has my attention believe me lol.
Why not just mineralize the super soil? That might be enough to stop the PM.
My close associate has 36 years of growing experience. He's seen it all, from pissing on bales of bud in Oaxaca to growing guerilla style in the Salmon Creek area. He got PM each and every year with his local outdoor grows, because every night the fog rolls in and the plants drip with moisture.
The first year I started down this path, I got him to use the T and J kit....no PM.
How, with the "kit" he's doing even better and there's no sign of the stuff. It ain't coming back, either.
Mind pitching me a good blend in pm mate? I get nervous adding things without a parameter or two lol
If it's OK with Shottafire, I'd just as soon share it here, so others can decide if its right for them.

Here's the mix:
6 parts high calcium limestone. (90% or more pure CaC03. Do NOT use dolomite, or hydrated lime!!!)
5 parts Soft Rock Phosphate
3 parts gypsum
use this at the rate of 2 cups per bale of soil (2 bags if using normal sized bags.)
You probably already have a source of micro's....I like Azomite.
Scratch this into the top 6 inches if you're in the ground. Do this ASAP, so it has a chance to work it's way down. If in containers, just mix in and let it "cook" for a month or so.
This will put your pH at 6.4. High pH leads to PM, rot, etc. Low pH leads to insect pressure. 6.4 is PERFECT.
Use a good root innoculate at planting, you should be good to go. Everything else you do stays the same, feeding, etc.
Your brix should bump up at least 2 points, which is often enough to stop the diseases.
Good man. Not even costing me money 
Done and done. Gotta drag the cement mixer out and I'm.set. thanks doc. Repped ya last night ill give it another go tho

Thanks wildbill yeah there is a heck of a lot of work coming up. These plants are doing very good and day 42 last night was great to see the buds starting to bulk up a fair amount. So this week will be my last week of feeding I think. Just have to wait until next tuesday to see when My flush will start. When I start my flush it starts with 1/4 strength feeding and ends with 1/8 strength last two waterings get plain ph tap water.
Thanks for the reps WB38
Glad to have you here
Stoked on harvest! There's a lot tho, I'm convinced your gonna need to send some my way so your not too overwhelmed haha

I would love to canna!
The grape skittles aroma is flavoring the air.
So sweet in there absolutely zero smell outside my room walk in it is like a bouquet of candy, a bit of the og fuel and grape skittles.
mmmmmmmm... About to break out the scope in a few days to start monitoring trich development. I will go about my flush when I have about 10% amber finishing the flush in a week leaving me with I am hoping 30-40% amber no need to be perfect since it will be primo no matter what. Just smoked a couple dried nugs and it is super racy and short lived surprising it got me as well as it did since the desperate samples were taken at day 38 I think.
Start of week six tonight. cant wait to see what she does this next week. Day 56 will fall on my b-day kind of stoked on that could be my harvest day.

That'd be nice. I always took Bubba @65 but I like it narcotic, If I'm not falling asleep sitting upright with a lit doobie in my mouth I'm doing it wrong lol. But I'm a very "uppity "person anyway, u don't ever wanna give me early cut or pure sativa... I go apeshit lol its Gotta be couchlock for me. I wish I could smoke some pure milk / kiss of amber buds.
Your description has my mouth watering. Time to rip down a gravity of some bubblehash I think
