Chitin/chitase (enzyme) stimulates the SAR response (systemic acquired resistance), basically a red alert to the plant telling it that something is munching on it so time to ramp up defenses,... Trich's are, mainly, a defensive/protective structure on many kinds of plants...
....bug frass (turds) can do this (contain chitin/-ase), so does aspirin (I tinker with this myself) with contains salicylic acid, the hormone responsible for SAR response.
Bill, I'm stoked you got going on the Phyter when you did, even with such a short treatment time, it should help! That, and the Sati'/Thai side has good mold resistance from where they grow natively, and the more open bud structure. If that was a hard-bud Affy landrace-type, she'd be a pool for grey slime by now!
I'll have to tug Adam's ear about the "F1FV" types, obviously not for sale
per se, but he's clearly game for letting volunteers try something in development out!
This Bisquik I have now isn't near release yet, but I was stoked to get it to try based on the grow-outs they had of it so far-
... it's a longer cycle type in most pheno's, so he said they will work on speed in following F-gen's....
Panik (RGS) is on another forum I'm at, so I can ask him anything you like about cultivars if you fancy...
I'm not sanguine about some Skunks and Affy crosses for mold resistance, best inquire about specifics,... That said, Female Seeds Skunk Special did hold up well for me though, and she's very fast! Outstanding aroma too, I got the fruity-lemon PEZ smelling one, not the stanky pheno',...
... looking stellar Sky, and I'm glad I'm not alone in staring at a weirdly late bloom season!
I'm a bit concerned actually, Oct. can be dicey for weather here, and seems likely it'll be mid-late Oct before I'm done...
I hope weather holds for you as well,... next year, maybe look into Phyter/RotBlock to try out... Meantime, you'll get a preview right here! Jean and GTG have been using it to good effect so far,...
... what you saved looks killer my friend! Pic your girl for the polls, and put the pics in the Depot thread I made please...
Do you run a PC? Can you do some editing with Paint? If not, I can crop and rotate the dry bud pic for entry if you like,...
still! So much for the bloody FV part, ay? 
-- and she's showing true to her performance characteristics! 
J down her throat to keep her buds going well, but I do have a little bank built up. Still lots of fresh bud growth. Frost is pretty good and bud structure is getting denser, but still open. It looks like it will be a fairly easy trim.
