Suspicious Branch, broken or fungi? Would you amputate?

[Glomus]

I have a mix of last year's homemade soil and ocean forest. I top dress bat guano. I use Dutch Science nutes that have all kinds of good shit... I should have some beneficial stuff going on in the soil.

No thats not what I'm talking about. There are specific bacteria that are used in mycorrhizae inoculant that basically secrete anti fungal and anti bacteria properties, the bacterias live long enough to kill off or suppress most of the competing microbes in the soil long enough for the introduced mycorrhizae to actually germinate and establish on the plant root, Mycorrhizae inoculants that don't have these beneficial bacteria in them often don't work because the Myco doesn't get a chance to actually germinate and infect the plant roots before getting out competed. These same bacterias will suppress bad fungal and bacteria rots and disease on the plant foliage and surface. trust me. you'll see when you try it, You will be like how have I not been doing this the whole time,

Something disrupting the phloem. Maybe a rodent at one time in the past. Or a fishing line you tied on there one drunk night

He's saying use good organisms to fight the bad ones. I'm not sure he has all the names right but what he's saying is correct. I call them bio-cides and I they include more than just bacteria. For example, mycorrhizae is actually a fungus but its still a beneficial microbe. I started looking into this as a way of growing when I became hooked on organic growing methods. It's a fascinating subject.

It really is, those two types of bacteria I mentioned are the ones that clear the media to establish your desired synergy of beneficial bacteria and Mycorrhizae. My favorite Myco being Glomus Interaradices and similar strains, hence my name. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10327-007-0062-4

 

[Glomus]

These blends of diverse microbes work the best, as they are all working together and create a synergy. That is what has worked the best for me in the past at least versus products that contain one type of Bacteria or one type of Mycorrhizae.

Ok fine I'll tell you what I use. Veg+Bloom's "+LIFE" or Sea-co Industries "Great White" these products have worked incredibly well for me and I use for them for a host of different things, clones, soil inoculation, and disease REMEDIATION not just prevention. They have the most biodiversity I've seen in these type of inoculant products. Also both have Glomus Interaradices as one of the main Mycorrhizae strains. But yeah TSD don't blow this off I really think you will find that this will help your situation and step up your growing game. Respectfully. I wish I had before and after pictures of stocks that were all rotten and after one spray completely gone.

You spray iton as well as add it to the soil? I don't know if its worth adding at this point with only like a month left.

The only reason I got the mikro root was for my dad cause he has fusarium and the ones in that fight fusarium... then I used it cause now I have shit going down.

 

[Goodshit97]

Im still sticking to these buffalo treehoppers. I just sliced open the area in question and there isn't anything there, just looks like sap was sucked out and the plant had to heal from it. Doesnt explain the droopy top but i dunno. This is why i grow autos outside. Id be done and in the curing process already.

There's so many things it could be. Pretty sure the first one of mine broke and healed and maybe got an infection... this one looks a bit like my dad's fusarium spot so Im freaking out a bit, cause that shit will take out a whole plant fast. I have an abundance of birds around due to my seeding sunflowers, so one could have landed on it for a perch and partially broke it. Always something.

Super helpful thanks. I don't get drunk, just baked.

Growing outside can be such a crapshoot some times. Last year was so wet here, my plants spent most of their flowering time in my shed. Im definitely not growing photoperiods outside in the northeast again unless i have a greenhouse and can use light deprivation. I also need to do more preventative maintenance outside.

You can do everything right by the book and still have problems in the end because at the end of the day, the one variable you can't control outside is the weather mother nature throws at you.

You can alter the odds in your favor but there's always a challenge ... a race to beat the fall weather.

I thought aboutbuilding a greenhouse, but then its a battle against humidity once you're in flower... need to have exhausts, dehumidifier, temperature control... might as well just grow inside at that point.

Oh yeah, I always have issues in fall, but this is a new o e for me, usually it's botrytis and PM.

Thats for sure, wicked dry all summer and then flowering hit and its raining like every day here or the dew is so heavy in the morning and at night it may as well have rained. We all love the plant so much that its worth the risk of losing it all.

And this is why i put this stuff out on the forum, because i always underthink everything i try to do. I should've known better, its 87% humidity today, and the sun isnt shining, calling for rain later too

IMO I think you should give indoor a try.

With your skills, you would absolutely rock and probably produce some of the best buds in Maine.

Thanks... NY... way up, parallel with the lower part of Maine. I honestly might. I love outdoor, that's why I do this yearly battle lol... but I suppose there's no reason I can't do both on a smaller scale. These big bitches are a lot of work, scrogging made it a little easier I guess, I cut my number of plants almost in half from last year.

We'll you're in luck, I always overthink everything lol. But yeah, greenhouse would be great in my climate to get an early start, but I'm not sure it would go well in flower unless I made a high tech one with all the bells and whistles... I guess you're still benefiting from the sun and saving on electricity with a hybrid type grow. I probably spend as much on shit for these girls that I wouldn't need inside, as I would on electricity inside lol... I just really love outdoor man... but maybe I'd have the same love for indoor if I did it myself.
