just the title of this tread made me think about this i think they avg 25pds per plant that time

Sulfur is awesome stuffā¦ Sulfur Dioxide fumigation at 1600 -3000 ppm for 30 minutes is supposed to stop botrytis in its tracks too. In theory all you would need to do is work out the volume of the area and then burn the required amount of Sulfur and of course donāt breathe that shit /avoid going in there until you have vacated the atmosphere externally 
Also Sulfur with pinene, or juniper oil or even rosemary oil as an adjunct applied to the soil surface donāt apply to plant , combined with copper sulphate/oxychloride spray treatment for any infection of the leaves is my go to treatment for septoria.
Sulfur should fck up spider mites also?

Not in any way involved, but this is one of my favorite big plant pics. (Canāt remember the grower, but think itās nor Cal(?))

I think so. Dries them out.
Can you give details? Can you do this in flower?

No worries 
In general for septoria control I spray the bottom half of the leaves of the plant with copper oxychloride during veg and then use 5ml of pine/thyme/rosemary/juniper oil emulsified with about a desert spoon of detergent, and added per litre of water, then add some Lime Sulfur and apply it to the ground underneath and around the base of the plant. This will kill the spores on contact, and continue to as the terpenes in the oils become volatile. Repeat as needed.
The idea for the septoria is to interrupt the cycle from the spores splashing up from the ground onto the lower leaves.
Personally I donāt know if Iād be that keen to treat the plants with copper if itās too far into flower.
Sulfur with oil adjuncts I donāt think can be safely used on the leaves because of some interaction that makes the mix phytotoxic. I discovered this using neem oil and lime sulfur together 
Thyme oil or lavender oil emulsified and sprayed on flowers at 5ml to the litre of water should also be effective for botrytis and possibly powdery mildew.

Really?! Seems too good to be true. Excellent Info, all of it.
Is it safe? Will it hurt the soil?
I did notice lower areas get it first and as the bud grows the plants sag toward the ground, likely getting splashed like you say. If I grow problem plants Iāll prune and stake to keep them up off the ground. Thanks!

I havenāt tried it so it might be, but I have found lots of research that indicates effectiveness for various other fruits and flowersā¦
Itās likely a broad spectrum anti fungal agent so I would expect it to also kill off trichoderma if you drench the soil, I spray the surface of the soil with the mix, I havenāt noticed any adverse effects.
Yep, the spores are splashed up onto the lower leaves from the ground, they begin by infecting the underside of the lowest leaves and producing more spores that are splashed back onto the ground and further up the plant. I have found general hygiene will mostly prevent it, I remove the lower obviously non productive branches, make sure to get rid of leaves that have fallen under the plant and mulch the ground so that itās not just bare dirt, and like you say staking them up off the groundā¦

Oh this should be fun! Tree time. Iām going to get something big this summer, though I donāt know what yet. Not Graham Valley big though. Iāll need a teepee for that

yeah, youāll definitely want to top those 
and word of warning, the whole āearly maturingā tidbit is complete bunk, prepare for a november/december harvest 
shame on rsc for writing that

Maybe my state leave the stone age one day
Until then

I care about grams per sq metre/day/week.
But if you want to harvest most from 1 plant, try to pull them sideways instead of up in the air.
7.5kg/sqmt/yr
Didnāt hear anything higher than that so far.
- Sorry this was for indoor yield. I miss read the thread. Apologyā¦

Is that the one that matures in August/ September over there in India? There is or was a later version sold by RSC as well.
Nanda Devi is 29 N latitude. Add 2-3 days to the finish time per degree latitude difference to your location North, which Iād guess you are. What do you get when you do this? Is it still way off?
Me too. I just had to slide that decimal point a little left

Hey @Upstate . Is there much difference between a nanda devi and a kumaoni ? Are they different phenotypes of the same landrace? Idk. Just asking.
