The biggest question right now is the buds that had a little bit if PM on them, I harvested and Im drying Normally. Will the PM keep growing on Drying plants? Also If I am drying in the same room Im just spreading the Spores all over the place aren't I? I did toss any bud I saw with PM on them. But the spores are still there im sure.
Am I ok smoking the herb even if there isnt visible PM? like everyone says. The spores are there. when is it not ok to smoke? or cook with? I don't think anyone knows this answer.
You guys are big on the
Green Cure... IF i use that its never after 4 weeks on 8 week strains. It turns the pistils orange. Im really scared to spray that stuff on anything over 4 weeks. I had to harvest a plant early due to finding PM on some buds. I cant get my Humidity below 60% and that's with a massive Dehumidifier and a 12k BTU ac unit. in a small room. Temps are 80 to 85 daytime and 72 night time. humidity stays at 60% all 24 hours. Ive tested 2 different units to make sure they weren't faulty. I like the good old Temp/Humidity gauge that doesn't use electricity. Ole Reliable. It is also Summer so the outside humidity is 80%+ all the time. Anyway. Since i'm running a 2 week cycle. 1 plant harvest every 2 weeks. PM is showing up pretty Regularly now.
I think my only solution is a sulfur burner. My plants are in Tents but they are in a bedroom with a lot of storage boxes and stuff. So. I either 1. Quit flowering and go back to my caregiver. OUCH!. or ? Sulfur ? I don't think
Green Cure should be sprayed after 4 weeks. Thoughts?
So back to Sulfur it looks like Ebay has burners for around 100$ and no idea how much sulfur I would need but its around 11$ for 2 pounds.
Will this get into all the nooks and cranny's to kill PM in this environment? Next summer I am shutting down for 3 months. Screw this heat and Humidity.
I also notice when spraying
green cure on Vegetative plants it burns the tips of the leaves and shoots, which delays growth a little. PM has been showing up on the mothers.
I know where it came from but now to get rid of it is being impossible at this stage.
I've also talked to some Old school growers as i'm pretty old school myself. But these guys have 20+ years Experience. They say once you see PM, Quit growing completely, You'll NEVER get rid of it. They say the only way is to Scrub or Toss/Sell everything. Completely sanitize the room, which is impossible in my situation. carpet and all. but yea. Bleaching the whole place.
and starting over. which if anyone knows is at least a 3 grand venture just to get started.
My caregiver kept saying. dont flower, since I had the PM, But it was under control . Ide spray
green cure once a month and spray any clones that went out very well. I was just trading clones for meds. But still having to spend 250$ an oz. which only lasts a month. So I ignored him, made sure I was all clear with the township/state and landlord and went for it. Very 1st crop. 2 weeks from Harvest. PM shows its nasty head and flips me off. Arggg.. how Frustrating.
