Temp has dropped the last few days and I found a couple tiny spots of PM show up. Sprayed them with sulfur since I think they’re still early enough in flower. This damn weed growing thing sure is a pain. Or maybe having countless plants strewn all over multiple locations is a bit much to manage cross contamination.
This group is Chocolatina and Cotton Candy Crunch. I believe these will be for making S1s of each.
That septoria is no joke judging by your pictures. I haven’t seen any in my plants thankfully. What do you think it came from. I don’t know much about it. I remember someone saying in your thread to throw cardboard down. I actually did that this year. I usually use wheat straw. But everyone talking about septoria I took the cardboard advice. None here to report. Garden is in a hill made of sand except the dirt in my planting holes. So it’s very well drained and never standing water. Have seen a couple spots of botrytis after that last rain. It’s only on the surface and has not made it to the main stem of the buds yet. Have hit them with hypochlorous acid to see what effect it will have. Hopefully we can get some dry, warm and sunny weather consistently for a few more weeks.
It’s complicated… from what I’ve read it over winters on plant material. Then when it rains it can splash onto your plant, especially if is it small.
I had it last year and did not clear out or till in all old or infected plant material in the fall. So that’s definitely why I have it this year. The massive sunflower that shades both Snake Venom plants sprouted very early in the season and definitely was infected early on. Now with it being 13ft tall and hanging over the Snake Venom, it drips down onto those plants when it rains. The other plants outside of its drip line are way way less effected.
No idea what started it last year. Only had it on a few plants with PM being the main enemy.
I’d never had septoria before…it rained here a lot in July and Aug…usually that’s drought time, everything in my yard has it, tomatoes, mulberry tree is covered, it’s on maple and oak trees. I sprayed with sulphur in veg, then switched to Hypochlorous Acid after. Been able to keep it at bay, but everytime it rains, a bit more pops up. I’m constantly pulling leaves with “eyes” on them. Then spraying HA. No sign of PM yet though.
@CanuckistanPete Wish I could have kept it at bay, but it’s damn brutal in the swamp this year. Been living here 16 years, and have never had mosquitoes this bad. I can’t even work In the garage on my cars, literally walk out of the house, 5 ft, and there’s 10 on ya, and hundreds flying around you. Out in the swamp, it’s literally thousands upon thousands. It’s like a gnat swarm, even with bug spray on. The step kids went and bought bee keeper suits just to go out there and water. We will still have a decent crop, it hit a few plants real hard, and a couple barely. Managed to get approximately 15OZ’s out of the 1st and smallest plant this year, a couple that got hit hard are bigger, but won’t yield as much. We have a couple that will make up for it though. The Grizzly Purple Kush that I got in the Veterans Box, is killling it, and gonna be a damn big yielder, and the “double” (two sprouts from 1 seed) Diesel Project (Copa) is also killing it. So those 2 alone, will yield enough to get the kids thru until next years harvest season.
@ABushOfKush It’s Pistachio from the Humboldt Seed Company.
Yes, photoperiod, it was the same last year, around July 10th or so, it started budding.
It was a crowd favorite last year. I handed out 12 clones, and everyone ran out of that strain first.
Typically about 1/2 joint, and you’re fried. About 3 hits in, it has an old school Columbian taste, very very rich tasting. I can see where some say it has a nutty taste, but to me, it was all old school, late 70’s early 80’s Columbian.
That’s super early! I think my first one will come down in a couple weeks but even then that’s because I placed it in a spot with low sun hours. A few will want to go into November out in the garden with full sun.
Yeah sulfur has beaten that nasty pm. Hypochlorous acid I am still testing it out in a recent sighting of botrytis. More to learn with that one. It’s been a tough year for many of us.
The sulfur has worked great but it’s very important to remember the protocol of not bringing in new material that hasn’t been sulfur treated. I definitely brought a couple cuts back from my buddies place this summer without thinking. I’m starting to see some spots of PM creep up around and I’m sure it’s from those damn cuts.
