i here ya

i here ya

Seems like we all seem to battle one thing or another I’m hunting little orange bud worm not many but it’s been a challenge now it’s frost grrr!

I been fighting with Pm all summer.

Has anyone have experience with safer defender fungicide? I’m 4-5 weeks away from harvest and used it today. Was difficult to not spray the bud. 1-2 hours later, it still smells? Any one out there used it or have any help they can share?

i never used it but i got their worm killer , im afraid to use anything on my buds 2weeks from harvest i have been using baking soda and water which doesn't make me so afraid of cancer forming chemicals , sorry i cant help

For PM you need a fungicide and one of the safest is green cure. It's organic and I think has been used in foods. I spray it beginning in flower through harvest. I mix in the sprayer with it BT for catapillars between the two they are a pretty effective spray program. Prior to flower I use neem a s a general pesticide. Works great for prevention but if you do get an outbreak you might need to step it up.

Heres a clone i took from my blueberry and just threw strait outside after being cut 3 weeks into budding. It's my micro plant

I've read that it's safe to use right up till harvest. If youre worried about the chemicals just rinse off your flower before you harvest with diluted peroxide water. There a video on YouTube on how to rinse

Hey there. First time grower and in the backyard. I have so many questions but Im trying to just let the plant do it’s thing. It’s been great seeing how fast they grow and finding something me and my mom can bond over haha.

All three of my plants have started to flower but I was concerned about the bushyness of one of my plants and the possibility of lack of air flow. Maybe I’m overthinking everything. Should I prune the bottom 1/3 of the plant? Is it too late because it’s flowering? Or should I just let nature do it’s thing?

Thanks for your help in advance!

I prune day one flower lower portion of every branch.
Again on day 21 all leaves. Seems extreme but the bus production is out of this world..
Good luck.

I been fighting with Pm all summer.

yeah PM got all my outdoor plants i managed to harvest the bruce banner before it settled in. Next year I'm thinking pop-up greenhouse for the outdoor. it will keep away rogue pollen as well (my other issue with outdoor around here).
PM hit right around the start of week 5 flower.

 

[JadedMarxist]

That sucks. I harvested then rinsed in light h202 wash. It's all in jars now got half P off one plant.

Whens outdoor chop date?

I'm chopping 75% Sunday and I'm trying to cover the rest to survive another week with the rain coming this week. Hope its decent and mold free.

Light deprevation your greenhouse for next year and then flip them 3-4 weeks early from when you had to harvest this year. Your plants will thank you haha

Yeah I did the same with mine haven't weighed it all yet still drying/curing atm. I'm also researching PM resistant strains for next year but there's not a lot of science just "I never got PM" or "I did" "this strain is PM resistant" sure bud but who knows if that's down to the plant's genes or the environment or a combination of both ya know? I bet you could make a killing with a fire-and-forget PM resistant early finisher for southern ontario farmers/growers/hobbyists...

I just... I just can't be chasing PM all friggin summer/fall every year. It's stressful and shit. especially once you've grown them so big and put all that effort in, just to have to cut early and knowing what could have been if you had been able to hold it off a few weeks longer..

Don't know if these are genetics you're looking for but they do fit the bill of what youre asking lol I'm looking similar strains that are resistant to mold n pest and also trying to climateize some clones see if it works.

 

[Slimone]

Hopefully the PM holds off for a couple more weeks

Holy crap nice nugs wow!!!

I am thinking I will be harvesting soon, like in about 5 days, or do you guys think that is too early? The plant in the last picture (I have two) seems a bit further ahead in my opinion.

Patience rewards those that wait.
most of mine in similar development and it hard to hold off with a week of cold ontario weather ahead. watch for mould, and be patient.
First Nation Summer right ahead (pol correct way of Indian Summer?)
