Claims to be safe to spray on crops day of harvest. Should I be doing more research before I hose down my buds?
Thanks! I just did a bit of googling, and I will definitely be washing the buds! It will be worth it for the peace of mind alone. No matter how "safe" something is, I get twitchy around anything that end in the suffix "-cide".
If I remember correctly, it translates to "death" in Latin.
Some modern methods just sound to my ears like,
"Hey guys, I just poured liquid death on my buds. Anyone want a smoke?"

Some new additions to the greenhouse:
This grow is my first time running double banks of shop lights (4 bulbs) for the seedlings, and I'm impressed. They grew these perfect mini heads of lettuce in just 2 inch soil cubes. Could they possibly grow some decent small autos? *hint*hint*

- . . . I'm on rations of Forum Stomper till next harvest.
Fungicide = death to fungus....
But there are nice ones that are ok to use on fruit n veg and are washed off by rain/water - as per previous posters I suspect anything added late in flowering it could effect flavour - but not all are evil and simply block a fungus's reproductive function so it doesn't spread.
Re Lighting
I am going to try out forced lighting for the first 3-4 weeks of next years grow (basically until first flower) - this will allow me to start a bit earlier and put out more mature plants for hardening off. I'm being a bit cramped for space next year and would prefer to put out more mature plants. If it works for lettuce it should work for cannabis - tho you might need more lighting as plants mature as well as some air circulation fans - without the fans you can get hot spots and the plants don't grow as strong stems as they are never experiencing any wind.
For me the problem with indoor growing is the smell once they are in full flower - I have a secret dry space that is odour proof for indoor drying but the growing bit is a no no (well until all the kids move out and I can rearrange rooms).

There is some discoloration on the main cola of the Blueberry. Tomorrow, I'm going to take some pictures, and compare to the last photo session. I don't think these girls are growing much, if at all any more.
If the plants remain in good condition, but show no weight gain over 10 days, do I just say fuck it and chop them? Or do I just let them go until mold finally forces me to harvest?

Honey Hugger ...
If you look at photos from 10 days ago do they show no growth ?
You're not giving them optimum conditions for growth so you can't expect much change ... cooler temps and not many hrs of light ...
Do the plants look like they are aging or are the trichomes maturing ?
Last good pics were the 27th ... have they changed since then ?
Assuming they have matured since 10/24 pics you could probably get some usable weed if you harvested now ...
They have definitely put on weight since 10/27, but not much since 11/4.
Weather is typically dismal. Plants are averaging probably 1 hour of week sun/day.
Trichs are clear, boo.
I pulled the top two inches off the main cola of the Blueberry, because of mold.
Ended up with probably a half gram (dry)of usable bud.
Maybe I will get the opportunity to try it tonight, and we can find out how far along these plants really are.

Hey FishDude
I'm here in the Willamette Valley and well, we are seein' November weather fer shure. I gotta think it'd be best to cut and run afore any more mold gets a start.
