@Seamaiden may be able to help better than me with organics and plant health.but for the pm you can start thinning leaves in veg and the plants will be easier to spray and take care of,plus it will create better air flow.keeping temps and rh at steady numbers will help also.i would recommend 75f and 45 to 50%rh at all times veg and flower.crowded rooms are just breeding grounds for bugs and pm ect,so start culling weaker plants and lower your numbers in both rooms.my yields have gone up alot by lowering my plant count and giving stuff more space.plus you can keep tabs of shit better and do maintenance much easier if theres room to move lol.it looks like you might be juggling too many strains so pick a few your patients like and need and work on production with just the best stuff.i cannot for the life of me grow ak47,ran it 3 dif times from seed and clones and got pm all 3 times.some strains are just prone to it.so if you have a strain that always has it get rid of that one now.
But i think your yields will work themselves out if you can get the bugs and pm under control and space out the plants some.
Sulfer burner will handle the pm better than anything,period.but its better to use on veggers and not recommended for plants within 3 weeks of harvest imo.
So for flower you can cover the older plants before you do a burn and keep them clean.my room has a divider door in the middle so i can shuffle plants around and just treat one side.panda can be used for this also if you cant cover individual plants,make a temp wall or curtain.when i get some time I'll try to bone up on age old organics and this thread and see if i have any other suggestions for yields.gl
Yesterday I treated the plants with SM90 and things are looking much better, at least PM is down , way down.
My plan is to hit them again Friday and hopefully they will be ok.
I like your idea about reducing counts, it works into how I have been moving things towards, - my mindset is much better at toss those bitches in the trash to give others room to put on weight- and like you said.. more air flow, easier to see a problem early on.
I also have been cleaning things every day to reduce it, along with more fresh air and more fans..
Thanks for the help.
@Seamaiden - thank you too young lady. I have cut down to no - standing water. Have some dehumidifiers running to keep it at zero. Also more careful when watering.
All in all I think things are looking better.
I did notice today a TON of plants are seeded.. so yet another loss, but oh well.
