Thanks! Yah you can ask me any questions, I’m some kind of expert on the parasite. It’s a biotrophic parasite so it lives off the plant itself. The plant raises a defense that is ineffective, consisting of the manufacture of elemental sulfur. I’m sure that’s why the smell of the plant is affected by the mildew infestation.
There is lots of misinformation about mildew, so it’s hard to know what to believe. I can cut through it all like a knife.

Why did the infestation start or something? I’m not sure what the question is.

Just joking around brother, the best I can at least at this time, you’ll have to scroll up, just a bit for the answer 
I know the internet makes alot of us look bad, but Im not a mean dude.
Hope all is good this morning Joe. A new day! Same mildew though. Possibly getting a lifeline with some regalia. After I cut them, definitely gonna bomb this bastard with your approved method. Will be knocking your door down, ‘help meeee’ but right now, I just need someone to tell me how to best help limp these girls along, its not being sold so I dont need perfect, and for the sake of research of course, I honestly see this as an opportunity at this point, not giving up until its over, and they are still alive, there has to be a way to help them fight this thing.

Yah some different things will definitely hit the mildew. The beneficial parasite does seem to knock it back. I made my contaminated weed into extracts like tincture and oils. I never recommend spraying anything on blooming plants, but for people who rely on the productivity that can be a tough one to swallow. Good news is, this is probably going to be your last mildew infestation. Once you are up to speed on the eradication, your plants will never be mildew infested again.

Well Thank You Everyone for doing your best to help a fellow grower/stoner/renegade to possibly get through another season. This has been a very productive year. I feel that we’ve found the information we all seek. Product or no Product, we have here, our collective knowledge, experience, and fellowship to complete the cycle yet again. Thank You OGs, one and All. Together we do make this world a better place. I have reached peace with this seasons lessons and am thankfull for any return mother nature has provided. Many have helped the garden and I throughout the entire season and you know who you are. I will never forget anyone who welcomed me here, took the time to visit our garden, this life, share experiences, congratulate and console. I also apologize for my mood swings, just as with the gardening, I am a work in progress as well. I have been utterly defeated over the past few weeks, a slow decent into madness or was I always this crazy? But after many nights of wondering what else I could do, if there is to be any chance for these three ladies to survive until a proper harvest could be done…A Miracle! We shall see but I have to give this a shot…
A fellow Virginian @VAhomegrown has blown me away with his unnatural kindness, both with his generosity and his fire flower, I am just about to try a dose of regalia(i wish i knew more about this stuff, but at this point, its all desperation and faith)to see if anything can be done. I have some hope here, will report back my results and am just very thankful for all the people here, old and new, who despite my lack of skill and utter silliness have stood by the garden and I, to help us through this year’s ups and downs. Its all about the cycles. Ok, well, damn…that lavender jack is something else, thanks man!..Got me ramblin and smilin again, time to go try and help these babys out. Wish us Luck! We need it!

Just found your journal, caught the beginning and end. I’ll catch the middle when time allows. Glad to hear the fam is all good. I’m pulling for you, i run a lot of Freak Genetics and happy to see other locals with his gear. I wanted to see that Don Johnson beast out for you outside. Pigs in a blanket and blackberry pancakes are my favorites of his. I have a bunch of his new testers going now.
Looks like Vahomegrown brought the goods, that’s awesome! Pics of Lavender Jack always look amazing. If you ever want any new flavors or samples id be happy to share, just shoot me a message. Good luck, enjoy the nice day!

Yo! Very happy to have connected, finding some good locals was a secret objective, I might not have even really admitted it to myself, but I am actually totally down to see and learn from others and of course help out any way I can as well.
I tried to make the breeders of these plants proud, its been a strange time putting everything online, in public, but very glad to be meeting such kind folk. Its all worth it now. Will probably end up meeting up with some not so close neighbors too from this and I guess I just needed some adventure. Life is too short to sit around inside all day!
I’ll definitely be getting some pics up, got to find another moment but our dude here is the hero of the year for sure…I really appreciate the local love yall. Have a good one yourself and hopefully these ladies pull through gonna keep yall posted.

Well Thanks a million times over brother, your generosity is the stuff Legends are made of. Im humbled. And stoned. 
The Lavender Jack is like a very racy lemon cleaner pick me up that makes me want to go out and mow the damn lawn, like literally, right now. It brought me back up from the much sweeter but gassy dough enfused Funeral Cake which I thought said Funnel Cake at first so I wasnt ready for the body slam smack down but I def see why its called Funeral cause my dumb ass was/is? dead ass stoned attempting to holla back and enjoy the amazing pasta recently made by the Lady of the house, who was laughing at me, not with me, though as mentioned, the Jack is were its at, so zesty and just happy as a clam and after spraying the babies down with a just a tad, about a half teaspoon per 32 oz spray bottle, of the regalia, Im just going to see how that affects them for a day or so. Will increase dose if recommended but man, I just cant thank you enough, in this crazy world and to help out a total stranger, it means alot. I’ll definitely keep you posted on them but I get that this is something that I have to learn to keep from getting this bad. Live and learn! Anytime you want to hang or need a hand, please give me a holler so I can repay, I’ll be passing it forward as usual but I hope all things work out your way brother! Here’s the beautiful gifts for everyone to see, haven’t found any beans yet, but yall know I’ll be looking!
I pray all the fam here is having a good and safe day, if not, give me a shout. We’ll work it out!

Been awhile since I posted a pic of the garden…gee wizzz, its been embarrassing to see this but we’ve had time to heal our wounds, please be gentle, the ladies and I are really struggling…I’ve never seen it this bad either, but well see how the new meds work, Ive also realized something else, I was forcing them to be locked up, I have much sunnier spots, Im ashamed, next year will be Glorious…
So this was today, the Don Johnson clone, about an hour after the application.
I actually think I see improvement on this one already. Its like its melting off. Crossing my fingers, not trying to call it a success by any means but there is definitely hope here. Ill post some more later. Thanks for all the prayers everyone, I am very blessed today.

Thanks bro, yeah these are worth saving, by any means necessary. Might be too late but they are close, if this stuff even works a little bit, we’ll be golden. Its been a fantastic trip here with you and everyone have learned more than I bargained for but its good to plug in, more like minded folks out there than I thought. Ill be checking into see yours and others grows tonight as usual but how is everything, the ash calmed down, people coming together?
Hope all is well

I’m really happy for you to be making positive progress with the girls! They are looking good, especially compared to what I had imagined/expected. I share your hopes that they’ll still be pulling through, it looks pretty reasonable that they will.
I’ve also been very suprised by the community and the help/support they offer.
Today’s a new day and hopefully both you and the ladies feel even better! They are looking good!
