Wowza ! Ur going to b smoking tough this year it looks like ! I like the fan idea great that it worked out for ya .
Yeah man [emoji106][emoji12]
Yeah I've used the fans before in the past you really got to when you're this close to harvest.
I just don't want nothing to go wrong you know with the freaking powdery mildew and the bud rot it helps the plant.
Luckily our temperatures are just about right and the humidity isn't too bad.
It's supposed to be like this tomorrow morning too. It's supposed to be a heavy Dew night with a higher humidity first thing in the morning with fog.
So I'll run the fans again tonight all night long to help out.
I sprayed with the biological fungicide Actinovate this morning. I found that the somango had the powdery mildew on the wall side or the north side of the plant and I have been fighting it pretty good.
I thought I was pretty much in control of that on that plant .[emoji55]
But.... you never know and I spray good. I don't miss a whole lot of anything. But the backside of that plant had about 10 or 12 leaves that were pretty bright white with a powdery mildew and so I was really disappointed in what's going on.
I may have to resort to the neem[emoji55] I hate using neem.[emoji55][emoji17]
But it don't mind it so bad if I'm only using it just a little bit.
But some Growers use it from get to go and it does at impede the flavors some.
Some people can taste it.[emoji21][emoji35] Some people can't. I'm kind of in between the cans and can't.
But I have some clients that are just connoisseurs and they hate neem. So I've been real religious about not using it unless I absolutely have to.
But using the Einsteins cold-press 100% neem and the Bonners soap Sal suds. If I mix up a light batch with the neem that it doesn't really affect it too much as long as I try to keep it off the buds and more to the leaf.
Being this close to harvest it probably won't affect the flavor that much because it's not saturated into the plant and I'll give it a good wash with h202 at the end.
I'm so close to harvest now that I just don't want nothing to go wrong I want to harvest this entire crop and come out with pretty close to 100%...
But that's all screwed now[emoji35]
The Royal Queen seeds green gelato.
The bud structure on that is crap on that plant
I am so pissed off and disappointed that plants almost as big as the blueberry cookies I'm thinking about whacking it and getting and out of my way. Because the mildew really likes it a lot and I've been treating it and feeding it and it's just taking up sunlight space, time and resources.
I think for the most part it's a waste. I don't think it's going to amount to anything. With the stage it's at right now compared to the rest of the plants. Shit it'll go until October if it's ever going to fill out and finish.
Some pics of the buds on the RQS Green gelot.
Y'all can see WTF is going on
