Taking cuts from sick plants

[Yetigrows]

So i finally found one of my white whale strains, literally a block from my house.

A customer at the dispensary i’m asst manager at told me he had a plant i’ve been searching for, and I could come by and take some cuts…

So I jump in the car with the stuff I need and head over right away only to find a complete mess waiting for my arrival…

A leggy plant that had been grown under weak lights, just starting to flower with obvious signs of the start of WPM.

Is there a way I can take cuts & treat WPM simultaneously?

(I really REALLY want this one!)

I wouldn’t but expect you could.

PROTOCOL 0 "clean your plants"

[DSC04914] Here’s the little Zero plant, I performed the protocol yesterday. This is actually one of the most useful plants on the face of the earth, know for it’s fiber production world wide! Donated to science

Powdery mildew - An easily exterminated parasite

You know something? I was sitting there thinking about powdery mildew and how people are retrieving copy-pasta-info from online to get information about it. The strange part? It’s not information about the species of powdery mildew that infests cannabis plants. I would bet 100% of online articles don’t concern cannabis and actually studies on mildew are almost never performed on cannabis. Instead, and this is the strange part, they focus on hops mildew. I had never actually considered that. Yet …

…and definitely keep plant isolated from any other healthy plants till it’s rooted and healthy.

I’d already removed 90% of leaf material and heavily doused everything with a sulfur/water spray and located them in an isolated part of the basement prior to posting, so it seems my instincts were correct!

I’ll read those entire threads shortly!

Here’s another clone sterilization tek, used for long term storage, so it might be effective for your diseased cutting!

A Guide to Long-Term Clone Storage, 2+ Months, And a Continued Experiment to Reach 6+ Months

This is essentially the first step. You will need to make sure you have your materials prepped first but once your rinses and vessels are prepped you’re ready to go. Instructions for any needed prep are below. Step 1 You’ll need to select your plants and decide how you want to group your cuttings. Whether it’s per strain, per plant, etc you just need to decide who will be in what vessel. You’ll want to do this process per vessel. This is an all or nothing technique so once you clean the c…

Dunk in sulfur, spray with sulfur. PM will be gone easy. It’s the other hitchhikers that can really be a pain

[CapnCannabis]

What this guy said if your trying to preserve it at all costs i can assure you Sulpher cures PM.You wont be worried on smoking it any way.I havent had PM in over a year using IPMs in veg and i live in a high stress environment for it

[Naptown916]

You can follow the guide I posted someone linked above. Dunking the cutting in a iso/bleach/ water bath will 100% kill WPM

What is the cut @Yetigrows !?! I love the start of this soon to be epic!

It’s Animal Face @Pigeonman !!

@JoeCrowe help this man out please

[TopShelfTrees1]

I’ve successfully eradicated pm with an h2o2 funk on entire plants, gotta work on cuts too but I know Joe is the WPM eradication specialist. Hell get you sorted on the best possible method I’m sure

[JoeCrowe]

Already done. If he read the “Powdery mildew - An easily exterminated parasite” the mildew is fucked.

Is sulfur as effective on septoria?

[JoeCrowe]

It should be. I’d definitely try it out! Mulch around the base of the plant with cardboard and spray the leaves at the bottom. You should be able to view the colony with magnification. I’ve had positive reports, but haven’t tried it myself. Just be careful not to spray any on your buds, or it’ll taste like sulfur.

[Emeraldgreen]

Thank you buddy. We have plastic mulch, have been stripping and spraying with sulfur. It’s just been raining so much for us it’s been crazy. 4-5 days of rain and overcast the other 2.

[ABushOfKush]

I wish you could get some septoria to scope for us. I mulched and then sprayed sulfur 3 times about a week apart. It almost seemed like it might have slowed it, but did not stop it in the least. Once flower started it ripped back through in force.
