A Shadey spot to grow, Perpetual organic no till

Yes, I had sprayed the plants a while ago and then fired in the sulfer and then cinnamon powder, and it stuck to all the moist over spray areas.

I haven’t been paying attention to it for that reason but it definitely looks like mold starting, not so obvious when looking at in in real life, when the camera flash hits it, it shows up a lot more.

The only problem I have had in there is thrips, no pm or mites thankfully. I should look at my photos better lol :+1:

Cleaned up the veg tent today same format as the flower room, washed everything down with bleach, after vacuuming all the dirt and leaves out.

The mylar bottom removable bit had a hole in it, so was wet underneath, but no mold. So replaced that with a tarp, which now covers the whole of the floor and not just the 2 ft plywood extension and 2 ft of the tent. I can pull it out when needing the next cleaning, which will save time.

Wired the Ghost Ryder x WCD branches down to open it up and re bent the TER which is behaving mostly and staying bent.

Re potted the TER boy, which I think now is a girl, I must have got the one I thought was a girl, and put into flower, and turned out to be a boy confused with each other at some point. I am glad I re potted it and not killed it off thinking I had 2 boys.

I may just put it straight into flower when the Purple paralyzer pollen shows up and do a fifty fifty split between the TER and PP for seeds.

Put the other 20 gal pot in as well, so now we have 4 empty. Going to put the 3 Caramel Candy Kush and a Sebs Rev in for the next lot in flower. Leaving the 3 Orange Goji to replace the next 3 plants in flower getting chopped and going into veg properly.

Then I think I will crack a few Jedi Glue beans to find a replacement for the TUT strain I lost. Then after them some of Mongoes Dragon Blood Hash Plant.

Once my worm penthouse has thawed, I should check it, it’s probably thawed already, get some soil out of that, in some 5 gal pots for a bunch of Reikox Fam auto’s and Grease Monkeys, Purple Kush auto’s, to run in the veg tent at the same time. Down to my last 8g of the Sugar Black Rose :dizzy_face:

That was a lot of activity! :sweat_smile: What does it mean the Borg?, I googled it and only a famous tennis player appeared. Hope this time you will have more luck with the FAM’s … :sunglasses:

The Borg is from star trek, but has been used to describe spider mites.

Another busy day, I am starting to hurt now, doing stuff 3 days in a row. Stripped out the clone cab, and washed down with bleach there was mould in the corners and along the back as Ole Reynard saw, good eyes bud. Dried it all off inside and re painted it to make sure it was good. Went to my magic store shed and found a nice piece of Tyvek, to line the bottom and 3 inches up the sides with.

All my GDP cuts have snuffed it over night, I think when I doused them all prior to putting them in the clone cab with Safers end all, so I didnt put mites in there as well, was too much for them, same happened with the GR X WCD cuts. I forgot to do the BNK and they are happy. So I will try again with the GR X WCD I have 3 GDP clones that look good atm so at least I haven’t lost the strain. I needed 8 for 3 friends who wanted to grow some outside this year, so they can have one each now, and I will get some more cuts in another 6 weeks for me. They will have to have some extra Big Nosed Kate or GRX WCD instead, I may germ some Big Bang for them as I know they are fems.

Just potted up my 3 Caramel Candy Kush and 1 Sebs Rev into 10 gal pots and sprinkled some alfalfa seeds on as well. Switched on the second Bridgelux light as well.

Look what I found growing in a peat puck I used for the GDP clone that died. I re used a peat puck from when I was germinating the orange Goji, this one hadn’t hatched and I thought it was no good lol.

Weedly Update.

Under the stairs Harry has had a bad week, I forgot to water him :frowning: He didnt droop at all which is why I forgot but his leaves just dried out on a couple of branches. The remaining TER clones have no roots yet in the cloner. Once he has re vegged I will try and make a couple of clones from him.

Harry and the clones and a new batch of beer, self isolation is a thirsty job lol.

In the Clone Cab things are OK, I germinated 8 Big Bang seeds and they are now in pucks, with the BNK cuttings, which dont look brilliant but are still alive. Going to take some more today and put in the cloner. I have found the 3 GDP that have rooted, have all done so from above the scraped areas on the stalks, so these next lot will not get their stems scraped, and we will see how that works.

Clones and BB in the pucks.

In the Veg tent things ticking along here as well, just sitting in a holding pattern waiting for the flower plants to finish.
TER on the right going to get some defoliation this week as well as the GRXWD on the left. I am still spraying the plants every 3 days with a water bleach mix to kill any remaining spider mites that might be lurking on the plants and alternating with Safers End All.

The 3 CCK and Sebs Rev in the 10 gal pots and the TER girl not boy is needing some food. The BNK mom will be getting more cuts taken of her today.

In the Flower Room I added another fan and they are both running at max to keep the mites from breeding apparently they dont like windy conditions. These all got sprayed with the bleach solution as well last night as I have run out of Hydrogen Peroxide due to none being available with the Wuflu break out.

Some of the plants are growing leaves back now so need to keep on top of these fucking mites. They got sulphur bombed 3 days ago so it should be a good mix of bleach water and sulphur, to give them a bad day. I wont be using the Safers End All in here, dont even like using the bleach but I can wash them down after harvest.

On the Left front and back are the BNK 6 weeks from flip for the front5 for the back, the one in front has not stood back up after defoliation, buds are way to heavy for those spindly branches so she will be getting some support. The Green Crack front right is needing some better support now as well after her trim up. The Mighty Grape is supporting herself and looking OK atm, they are both at 8 weeks from flip so maybe another 2 to finish for them.

The TER front and BNK back are at 6 weeks from flip also so roughly half way there

Not sure what happened with this pic of the G99 but its looking weird lol. She is at 9 weeks today, from flip I checked the trichs yesterday 50% are still clear, so she has a little longer to go.

Green Crack and BNK all strapped up and looking a bit better.

What ratio of water to bleach do you use? Do you figure it would help with PM as well?

2 Likes

Not sure about PM, I was wondering the same as well. I have read 1 table spoon to 1 US gal so I did a TBS and a bit to 4 liters of water. You can use alcohol as well, 1 part alcohol to 9 parts water, but I am not wasting my RSO making alcohol when bleach will do. I usually spray them down with LABs to deal with PM.

You could have already established mold that can be causing your issue.
I’ve seen it and have had it.

Don’t spray the bleach water on your plants, its way too much you’ll leave spots like on your dark clothes.

Makes sense, I dont currently have an pm/mold issues (knock on wood) but I know so.eone who does lol

Yeah I agree probably not a good idea to spray bleach on large areas of your plants even in low concentrations. At least without following it up with neutralizing agent. It’s incredibly alkaline and would burn and bleach your plants. Peroxide is no different as it’s fairly acidic, plus the oxidizing properties are harmful to your plants. Alcohol is around 7-8 pH so would be a more reasonable option but you should still be washing down your plants after using any of this stuff imo.

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do though I understand that. I’ve used End-All right up to harvest before so I definitely understand the burn em with fire approach.

Plants are looking super though @Shadey are you making any plans for the outdoor season?

I wasn’t going to bother this year Trev, but you never know depends how many spare plants I have kicking about.

I washed the plants down the next morning, a couple are looking a little down in the dumps, I will hit them with same safers tomorrow at lights out. If I lose them to the treatment it will be no different to losing them to the mites lol. If they all die I will just shut down for a month and give everything another good hosing down to make sure all the nasty little feckers are dead and gone. My jars are well stocked now, so its not like I will run out. I have some fem seeds so its not a problem to start some more and whack them into flower quick, as I dont have to wait for them to show sex, and I have some autos in the freezer as well.

Temps gradually rising in the pluses everyday apart from wind chill, bit of snow last night but its gone now. So my clone and veg area is getting warm tents and cab are hitting 78-80F so I am opening the window to let some cold air in the room, just have to remember to shut it at night.

Tossed out a couple of the BNK clones they were doing nothing, going to go back to the cloner and try some more in there. I put 8 Big Bang seeds in Monday and now they were all above ground in 3 days and doing well, hoping they will make up for the low number of GDP clones for my friends, who want something to grow outside this year.

2 Orange Goji at the back a mix of OG, Sebs Rev and the 8 BB on the right.

Slowly dying BNK cuttings :frowning: under the dome.

In the Veg tent, things are looking crispy.

The Ghost Ryder X WD at the back is droopy, bit too much water yesterday I think. The TER front is getting rather large, all the plants in here have burn from the bleach and water :frowning: I fucked up the dose, I was reading the dosage for alcohol and water which is 1 to 10 instead of the bleach and water which is 1 TBS to 1 gallon. Surprised they survived really, lucky I washed them down the next morning and then gave them a spray with LABs, which probably neutralized the Alkaline burning more being acidic.
Hoping to get these 2 in the flower room this week, when I chop the G99. Hoping when they hit the stretch they will stop burning up from the excess nutes so much, like they did the last time.

The 3 Caramel Candy Kush seem happy despite the crispy leaves as they are all praying today, probably to avoid another dose of bleach lol. BNK mom in the front is hiding the Sebs Rev.

In the Flower Room.
2 BNK, runty one at the back, its strange as they were both clones from the same plant yet runty just does not want to grow like her 2 sisters.

Green Crack not managed to hold her buds up at all now, this whole corner looks a complete mess of tangled buds.

The Mighty Grape doing better she is managing to hold her buds up they are not as big as the green crack though.

Then we have the TER front and the other BNK at the back, BNK is doing well supporting herself the TER is also but she is just starting to bulk up now, grown a few leaves back as well after their severe defoliation.

Finally the G99 all gangly, and looking dead on her stalks, she will be coming down later today, get a final trim, then a wash and brush up, in Lemon Juice and water, Baking Soda and water, then a water rinse as well, first time trying this so it should be interesting lol.

Jesus christ lol you’re not lying about a tangled mess

Just took down the G99 and gave it a wash in the lemon juice and baking soda Then a rinse in clean water.

It was looking crap when I took it down, looked like it died and went to heaven a week ago lol. Not much smell to it either, was getting disappointment, but thought, at least I cant make it worse with a wash and brush up.

All washed up and hanging on the washing line, I cant believe how much it has improved the look and smell, its like a different plant all together. Very impressed with the results, I may do this with all my plants after harvest, surprising the amount of cat, dog and my hair on it. I just need to grow a shorter version next time no more 6-8 weeks veg on these, 2 weeks in the pot like the BNK, and then into flower. The grass is starting to get a bit of colour in it now its warming up

Just been trimming up the 2 TER and Ghost Ryder X WD bit of severe lolly popping. They will be going into flower in a few days when they get over the shock. Took more cuttings hopefully get some clones from them fingers crossed. The small TER will be going into the 10 gal pot that had the G99. Just need to spray it a couple of times to make sure no mites are in the cover crop, which looks healthy atm, then pot the TER in it.

Ghost Ryder front left and the big TER at the back.

Glad to see the washing worked out for your @Shadey I did it to ALL of my outdoor harvest last year for the first time and was really worried about it but was some glad I did it in the end. It washed off the bugs, dirt and mildew but kept the trichomes mostly intact. And the water dries surprisingly fast when you hang it up. Cheers bud hope you’re doing well in the midst of all the sadness that’s gripped our province over the last bit.
