First time outdoor for me. Upstate NY, so very humid, lots of rain, not too much sun.
Plants had been doing great until I found these spots today after a few days without sun…pretty sure this is PM. I know my buddys @JAWS and @Upstate would probably know?
Strain is Casey Jones, which I always grew indoors before without issues. Plants are in a greenhouse and I have the “windows” and door with just the bug screen. I thought that would give good air exchange in there, but still seems to be too much humidity. Would it be less likely outside the greenhouse? I thought it should help against getting rained on. Kind of pick your poison.
What can I do? Is this all lost? Both plants are affected, so no point in separating them now I guess. Any point in plugging what is affected and keep watching?
Hypochlorous acid is my go to for combating PM. Kills PM on contact. If I suspect it I just douse the affected areas and look over the plant to be sure I took care of anything suspect. I use my 500ppm solution at around 3 parts HA to 1 part water. Always does the trick for me. You can check out the thread on Hypochlorous acid pretty informative and a great tool in the garden.
lol! Reminds me I was listening to the crispr gene editors and buddy claimed that you have to GMO cannabis to make it resist mildew. hah hah read between the lines.
Thanks for the props! I’m still waiting on an agriculture phd to parrot my study back to me. It’s coming… lol! That’s what I’ve learned in the past week. Just do the study and then sit and wait for someone famous to parrot it back.
Hi @joeCrowe these are from seed. I have grown same seed stock before indoors multiple times without issues. I was thinking that there might be bug damage as well. Just never experienced this before indoors, so I have no experience battling it or identifying. Thanks for your help. There are small buds forming, like 2 weeks early flower. Wondering if there is any point in growing it out and maybe some buds in the end are not affected, but maybe that doesn’t work or not a good idea with the fungus and bugs. The mildew is just starting on a few leaves a few of those small spots so maybe I can wipe leaves down with something like @Toker1 suggested? I’ll snag more pics tomorrow
powdered sulfer (Bondide makes it) works amazing. You can’t put it on flowers though, your plants look like they are early enough and flower maybe you could at least get it on the leaves a bit if you’re careful.
@Zett the first image in the list I can positively identify as water scale, so that’s not mildew. I am curious about the other images though, it’s hard to tell.
