[Novaracer69]

Took another pic of the Afghan, and it's amazing how much better it looks than all the others.

Just had a strong thunderstorm roll through and I can see damage to the plants.
But it's getting dark and I still hear thunder so I'll check it out tomorrow.

We got hammered with high winds and heavy rains here too. I hope the damage isn’t to extreme on your plants

Too early for a report?

Just finished cleaning up the top of a 60 foot spruce tree that broke off last night.
Sad 'cause I planted it as a seedling 45 years ago.

I hesitate to say I have a bright spot in the garden.
My Afgan Outdoor looks beautiful. (so far)
So uniform and resistant to disease. On the ladder to take a pic of the top.
I probably should put a net over it.

I stole your idea and took a ladder pic of my Bruce Banner. So far the best way to get a good shot of these bigger plants.

Oh no for heavens sake what the hell? How i loved the nature at my old place but i do not want to deal with this sort of trouble anymore. I'm so sorry about your memory tree what a shame and it's friggin summer, we don't see this till winter here. Boy you folks have it rough in your area. It's great to have loads of neighborly help when bad parts of nature strikes.

more sunlight for next years grow

The plants in the back did survive for the most part. There were broken branches and we lost 1 plant.
I also have 1 falling over in the extras that I haven't decided whether to try to save. The two I propped up last time did not fair well and I had to cull them anyways.
Moral of the story boys and girls. Tie the damn branches up early, just in case.

I love morals of stories! Hang in there, sister! That’s why we grow so many!

Me, crying as white powdery mildew looks to be on all my bigs settled overnight, and only have 6 plants in total. I may have half of one by the finish line.

Without all the branches there's more air flow right? Gotta look at the bright side.

You can spray your girls to keep it in check. You'll have to ask the more experienced here, but there is hope!

 

[Organic13]

I'm letting my whey get to a warmer temperature, as I keep it in the fridge. I will spray them at dusk because they are calling for rain here. I still feel gutted.

You and Gnick! Ever the optimists!

Oh, no! Not the queen! Now I feel Gutted! Capone said, milk cleared his right up!

 

[EternalSun]

Milk does work. I used it last year. Also h2o2 solution works well too.

milk, peroxide solutions. citric acid solutions. even mealworms ground up with milk and other stuff in a jar left to ferment apparently. All can clear the PM as well as prevent it if its not a horendous infection. Only way you're only gonna have half a plant by finish is if you throw in the towel now lol.


I got a little bit of PM on my indicas as of today from dew dripping out of a tree branch that grew a lot more then i wanted it to this season lmao. The good news is, i already knew the biggs were gonna be ones to watch for that stuff, i dont mind to spray her for pm. Gonna bust out some citric acid lol.

dont go killing plants with a bunch of PM either, unless its actually killing the plant's tissues already. Just remove what you can with peroxide sprays or milk or whatever as its growing. then give a peroxide solution dip before hanging to dry. It's not ideal, end flavor an stuff will suffer a bit, but it'll save you completely sacrificing a lot of your hard work. I dont go cutting stuff away from outdoor plants unless theres legit rot or its a bud cola or leafy plant just way too dense to treat effectively.

And i keep saying i wont be treating my plants. But once i tally up natural resistances, i absolutely will be. If pb2 starts to PM tomorrow, well, ill just know her natural resistance is very poor. And ill start treating her lol.

I had the same thing happen to me yesterday. If the branches are still connected, you can put a little honey on the break (if you want to) and wrap/tape it up. I’ve had great success doing this.
