Well whatever grew in there is likely anaerobic so exposure to light and air should kill it off

I just sprayed the plants. Since the fungus canāt live without them, once their habitat is destroyed, they die. It stinks for a bit but I use the extraction fan until the sulfur crystallizes.

Ya my basement IS the habitat lol, I assume the mildew lives on the organic matter and moisture on the concreteā¦the plants are just an added bonus for it.

naw, that organism canāt survive without itās host to parasite on.

Could be, I canāt really get any real information on that either way but my basement is definitely loaded with spores. Iāve literally never had it once in many grows in many environments. I freaking HATE this stuff, Iād rather have mites any day lol

naw mites are shitty. My prediction is, the powdery mildew came in on a cutting and has been kicking around ever since. That fungus was the subject of a study on destroying it and how it lives. The fungus loves it dry because it survives off the plant and max plant transpiration = max fungus growth.

Iāve had it here before from seed and started again with new seeds since. My basement has channels running through it that carry water to the sump hole. Thereās almost always a bit of nasty standing water in some of them, Iām pretty sure all sorts of spores proliferate in this waterā¦you can even smell it sometimes
I knew it would be an issue after the first time, so I built all my rooms elevated up off the floor and intaking warm, clean air from near the ceiling. I also installed a cold air return to mix the basement air with more fresh air from the house.
Anyways itās been an ongoing thing to say the least lol. Iām hoping between changing my growing style a bit (way more defoliation, better plant spacing) and LABs/potassium bicarbonate I can at least manage it. If the labs donāt work Iāll be onto the next thing, likely sulfur or an essential oil blend.

GSC and friends are at day 21 in the bud room now. Theyāre looking good and liking the new feed regimen so far. I feel I may have gotten a bit carried away with the defoliation, but Iād rather yield less than have the PM come back and potentially lose everything. Iād also like to see how fewer large branches end up yielding vs the mostly untrimmed plants I usually run.
Iāve been spraying every 7 days with lactobacillus serum, and so far not a hint of PM anywhere. Iāll continue once a week for a couple more, but then Iāll get a bit more daring and see if anything shows up after leaving them longer.
The 3 GSC phenos, and my FGxJS (front right)ā¦its gonna be a big one
Hereās the orange sunshine Ā® and cackleberry (L) in solo cups. I keep them up on paint cans off to the sides a bit:

My two Mephisto autos I got from @machamillion at day 49 from sprouting. One is 24 karat, and one is beary white X 3 bears OG but I dont know which is which lol. The left one is taller and a bit more vigorous, the right one is a bit sensitive about watering.
Both very nice, compact plants with a great structure and starting to have some nice sweet smells
The bigger left one is starting to get some nice frost, also showing a hint of overfeeding

Veg room is nice and busy. I have all my Blackberry Breath and Orange Goji seedlings, my guava mom and moms of the plants in bud. I also have clones of all the BBBs and OGs that are starting to root now (day 9). Iāll be sexing them all in my other flower room ASAP when theyre all rooted.
Also once the dome is empty Iāll take 9 cuttings off my g99 for a SOG style run in the other bud room.
My double orange goji seedling is really thriving. I got viable clones of both so weāll see what they turn out to be. If ones male and ones female maybe Iāll flower them together in the same pot for a weird inbred seed run haha

Whatās this FG strain you speak of?

Itās the mystery male from way the hell up in my thread, I called it fryguy lol. A really beastly outdoor plant my buddy did that had exactly one seed in over a pound of bud that turned out to be a male š¤· 
It was huge and a really strong racy buzz. It crossed well with the jungle spice, one was a bit tiny and this one I kept was really nice with a huge top on it. Really looking forward to seeing what it will do in a big pot like this.

Thatās fun! It looks like a beast! You donāt live by any hemp farms do you? Where Iām at, I think thereās enough stray pollen coming from hemp farms that I could create some 1:1 seeds just by growing outside.

Nope. Thatās why itās such a mystery lol. I was so excited to find that one seed assuming the plant had spit a banana or something. I mean it HAD to be female, right? Nope freakish super vigorous maleā¦
All the seeds Iāve tried of it so far have inherited some of the vigor and the trait of making big knuckles at nodes after topping.
The runt smelled exactly like jungle spice with a nice balanced buzz, this one is more hashy/sweet and sat leaning.

Farmer would probably let you harvest a bit of pollen

True, or just wear a wooly sweater and stand by the field for a while.

Love that god bud manā¦ heard it can really get tall outdoors. Iāve seen pix of a guy literally standing under one giving it a trim. Iāve ran that stuff for a few cycles awhile back.

Looks almost exactly like the screens I built. Iām adding them to the tent this weekend along with a couple Octo improvements. Iāll post pics. I am a huge DIY guy and hate to spend money on something I can make.

Which breeder was your godbud from? Mine was BC bud depot, ok but not what I was looking for. Iāve smoked godbud from others that was just amazing.
I also DIY most stuff, usually out of a combination of cheapness and ease of using stuff I have around lol

Iām not sure what breeder it was from. I just scored some cuts from a friend.
