Also of interest is that I left 2 buds on the plant because of PM. I hit one with a bleach spray and the other with an alcohol spray. I will give them a few days to see if this eliminates/slows down PM. I even remembered to label the branches
Sorry to hear you have to take a break… Good thing you knocked it out of the park this year and hopefully have plenty of herb to last until your next endeavor! Good luck with the sanitizing and waiting on temps man, hope it works out
I suppose I’m lucky to have gotten anything at all considering the out of control powdery mildew I experienced this run.
It’s just a kick in the teeth that’s all.
So my PM treatment/experiment continues. It’s been 5 days and both branches remain pretty clean looking but it seems to be coming back, a little, on the alcohol branch. The bleach branch still looks good.
Yes I do, it really improves the quality of the smoke Foreigner, depending on the amount of weed I make either 3-5 gals of water, which I add baking soda and lemon juice, put the weed in and let it soak for 5-10 minutes, then gently move around under the water mix, remove and rinse with clean water twice, then drip dry, or as Barefrog does, use a salad spinner to get rid of excess water and dry as normal. Really improves smell and taste and you won’t believe the amount of dirt dust and hair that comes off it.
I have used it this summer on my outdoor plants and it’s worked great. Its very forgiving as far as its hard to overfeed. Helped me out a lot as a new grower.
How long do we go with no posts from you before we officially call it?
No pain no gain. All in the quest for better buds/plants.
I am surprised you had to dry that Plant Abuse case at all. Still looks like some nice weed you got from it though. Really sorry you had to go through it man. Once you have your break, do a reset and you will be charged again.
Mrs. Foreigner and I sampled the branch that was treated with the bleach spray.
I have nothing negative to report. It smelled like it should. It smoked like it should. It tasted like it should. No coughing, no issues.
I have no complaints about bleach residue and wouldn’t hesitate to do the same treatment again. I do think the rinse is essential to eliminate residuals.
Also, I didn’t tell Mrs Foreigner what we were doing until after the fact. I wanted an unbiased reaction.
She shook her head at me.
I have ordered a fungicide made with deodorized sulphur to clean the tent before I start the next run.
Glad it worked out well for you, I have had no problems using bleach either, except for burning the pistils and leaves up a little bit, but I found if you do it just before lights out it doesn’t do it so much.
Afternoon cookies and coffee. Each cookie is ~15mg. No green taste. Delicious. Mrs Foreigner doesn’t know I’m eating them but will in an hour when I’m high as balls.
So I have a bad habit of making hash that’s so gooey I can’t work with it. The only way to make it cooperate is to stick it in the freezer. Not very practical. Here is 3.5 grams:
I bought some fancy silicone dab storage containers hoping that the hash wouldn’t stick to it. But nope, stuck all over the damned place and again had to go into the freezer.
It worked well. I ended up with a hash much closer to the consistency I want. Much more practical. Still soft and gooey but I can actually work with the stuff.
smell my finger

sneaky cookies on the side, toxin testing without informing. Your missus must be on the edge heheheh
