Reorganized the flower room this morning, dropped the light a couple inches, and added another fan. Signs of PM are rapidly decreasing after alternating between a baking soda foliar (2.5g/L) and a 9:1 water:milk foliar.

In the front, getting her fade on, is 710 genetics' Lemon Pineapple. It was a freebie, but I'm definitely considering revegging and breeding her so far.

This fuckin' G13 Haze is an absolute killer. The top buds are still throwing out white pistils and getting fatter, but the high from the bottom buds I've sampled is *kisses fingers.* The aroma is amazing, too. Like straight Centennial/Mosaic/Cascade hops. This one is absolutely getting a reveg.

Yeah yeah, she's got a few cat hairs that have somehow blown onto her that I didn't notice until after the picture was taken.
G13 Labs' Sweet Amnesia (NL5xHaze) getting chonky.

Speaking of sampling the bottom buds of G13 Haze, this is what they looked like before getting vaporized. Yes, my bubbler has been fixed multiple times.

That Purple Afghan Kush that hermed seems to have pollinated the Double Black and made some seeds. I'll likely run them in a bit.
I don't know how a pH that low is going to prevent mold? It's just putting more moisture on the plant, which is possibly what started the PM issue in the first place?I think just foliar spraying with a 6.2-6.4 ph mix of anything helps prevent mold. They cant germinate on it. I hit my pumkins with calmag last year once a week and never got any pm. They always always always get pm.
Aka you can feed and prevent molds.
Can't wait to see how the new seeds go. The garden looks great.
Nice to see those plants are doing well, I think you'll really like them both. I know I do lol.
Btw, there are some brutally virulent strains of PM that affect cannabis around these parts. It can be really tough to eradicate. I'm glad to see the sprays are working for you, but if it ever gets unmanageable and you want to save genetics shoot me a PM.
I don't know how a pH that low is going to prevent mold? It's just putting more moisture on the plant, which is possibly what started the PM issue in the first place?
The whole point of spraying with baking soda is to raise the ph very high which makes the mold unable to multiply. I recommend never spraying anything on a healthy plant
Again I respectfully disagree; if you're saying to continue spraying the plants, it doesn't work "the other way" as you say, that I'm aware of;Yah it cant grow due to the high ph. Also works going the other way. He can kill two birds with one stone. By foliar feeding food.
How else are would you go about preventing it from spreading again?
Don't have to soak the leaves. Light mist. It will dry up fast.
While I agree. I dont like to foliar healthy plants. But how else can you take actions to stop it from spreading again? Mold spores are always in the air.
Not trying to prove you wrong. Just asking <3
Nailed it man. It's that whole fall/winter of near 100% Relative ambient humidity.There are!
I thought that it was tougher to deal with than when I had it on outdoor nightshades and cucurbits on the east coast.
I just hadn't put that together yet. I suppose that ambient humidity at 100% for months straight means there are some intense strains kicking around. I've seen bits and pieces of pm since then on one plant, but nothing near what demolished the Siberian Haze and spread in a few days. That was some kill it with fire type shit.
How are the seedlings doing?
This weird bright thing was in the sky today, so I decided to give them a treat. Turns out that one of the ones that I thought didn't pop was just late to the party!

Another fun development this week was that I have two males! One Green Manalishi F2 and one Uzbekistan! I don't have the space to flip all of the Nepalma/Uzbekistan/Green Manalishi F2 at the same time, so I'll flip and differentiate them as space allows. Then the males get separated, the pollen will be collected, and then I'll be pollinating select female branches of the nicest ladies of those (and Triple Pakistan). TBH it'll be a lot easier keeping track of the info that way while still being able to pay attention to the other plants.
Here's the breeding plan, for anyone interested.
The Uzi and Triple Pak both lean indica, the GMF2 and Nepalma both lean sativa. I'll start off with breeding both of the I's with each sativa.
Plants will be given a designation of (strain)(gender)(order grown). So the first Uzi male is Uzi A1, the first Uzi female is B1, the second plants to differentiate will be A2 for male and B2 for female, etc.
Then each male Uzi will pollinate a branch of the choicest female(s) of the GM and Nepalma, and the pollinated branches get labeled as Uzi A1, A2, A3, etc. The following seeds are labeled (Uzi A3 x Nepalma B2), etc.
Then all of the crosses from the two strains will be grown out and pheno hunted at the same time, but kept separate to determine the genetic influence of each plant. I'll be mixing the pollen with cornstarch and freezing it, so the best males can breed again after death!
Re: wpm, I burn sulfur for septoria (works for wpm too they tell me), may have had a spot of wpm recently?Dropped a couple new beans today, Sensi's Silver Haze #9 and Reserva Privada's Purple Wreck. Dropped into coco that was rehydrated with willow water, into the germinator they went!
The Triple Pakistans are still doing well. The last one to pop is now the biggest!
The PM fight is for real. If I miss a day spraying with the baking soda/epsom salt/water spray, it starts coming right back. Hasn't gotten to the buds, but I've had to pull a few sugar leaves here and there. Selective brushing and spraying of neem on the leaves of the flowering ladies has made a significant difference.
Every plant in veg right now, and every other kind of plant I have inside, got sprayed with a good amount of neem/Dr Bronner's peppermint soap/125 degree water. The hot water keeps the neem melted and in solution so that it can be sprayed as a fine mist, and the soap emulsifies the mixture until the neem gets cold enough to solidify and come out of solution. By the time it gets to the plants, it's just barely warmer than leaf temp.
From now on, when I'm flipping a plant, it gets neemed to the point where the tops of all leaves, the stem, and the top of the soil are covered with a thin layer.
I used the milk solution at 9:1 water:milk, but wasn't a fan of the residue it leaves on the leaves. When looking for PM, another layer of whitish stuff isn't helpful.
Got two Uzbekistan males, and one GM male in "quarantine," aka my bathroom, until they start dropping pollen to collect. The GM male is already starting to reek of funk and cat pee three weeks into flowering, so I've got some high hopes, pun (as always) intended.
I've been in a drought lately, but today I chopped the lower branches of the Cheeselicious plant, white pisils and all, and vaped them. Not gonna lie, it's a nice high at the moment. Lots of physical relaxation, still with mental clarity, and a touch of that uplifting euphoria. If the smoke is this nice now, I'm excited to see what happens as it actually matures over the next couple weeks. Europa is an obscure-ass seed company, but I've liked both the Heavy Grapefruit and Cheeselicious.

burnt sulfur two days in a row for 1 hour and sprayed the plant once with some copper and I've had no more of it
Sorry to hear about the PM.
What has been your min / max RH in the room?
