OK Question, 1 of my plants have started to 'steeple' or are coming to a point, and the calyxs are blooming on the top... anyone else seen this? Oh and a pic of my purple big ass cola, the 'steepling' is not just on top, theres a pic from a nug on a lower branch its doing the same thing. Pretty sure those are calyx and not seeds.

May be the beginning of some fox tailing, or just the growth structure of the strain, what strains are you running again? Or what ones are these?

Took off some of the big tops that have virtually zero airflow, no mold or caterpillars on the inside but IDK id they’d make two straight days of rain. Left the rest to go another two weeks.

As a preventative I sprayed greencure for the first time this season, to knock out any PM that i’m not seeing (none visual) before the rain hits. Weather looks good after thursday.

Gotta be genetics.. there's no way it could be heat or light stress... But I don't think I should let those get out of hand, should I chop the tops?

It's kind of looking like it's happening to some degree to a few other plants as well. But nowhere near like the one. Buds are really starting to look closer to done, i had one plant 5hat had a bud rot spot on it I'd chopped , still had it at the end of the branch but I didn't cut it, I just ripped it off, stupidly, probably spreading rot spores as I was frustrated at seeing more of the foxtailing. Damn. I'm so tempted to chop off the tops of the spire and see if it just fills out or what. Today's gonna be one of those days.

Hah... Some days I have to just leave the garden during those final week or so... I get too tempted to cut toward the end, but I know better.... Still I literally just have to go inside and get away from the plants so not to think about it. Hah.

So I’m thinking about next year perhaps performing a study where I prophylactically spray/mist a single plant entirely head to toe with an H202 solution on a regularly scheduled interval throughout flowering and see how it goes - what do you guys think?
Is this already a thing? Would it negatively impact the buds?

I have been using 1tbsp of lactic acid bacterias keefir to 1 liter of water and applying as a foliar spray. No problems so far. Just slugs No smell either. I applied the first time with an additional 2 tsps baking soda, then only keefir as a preventative treatment after 3 weeks. I was mostly worried about slug poo. Now I tried out @ganga gurl420 's recommendation to use beer to attract slugs away from the plant. Gonna update about that one.

Just checked my calendar, I’ve sprayed everything with a peroxide solution four times so far : July 4, August 3, September 1 and September 6. The PM doesn’t seem as bad this year as last year, when I started spraying much later into flower - hey, it was my rookie grow so at that point i wasn’t even sure what it was until a commercial guru told me LOL.

I’m a little hesitant to spray them again so deep into flowering, but I guess I’ll see where things stand after this rainy spell. It’s pouring out right now, was going to use the leaf blower a half hour ago but it started raining again and it looks like this will be the pattern for the rest of the day.

I know, right? My problem is my garden is literally right outside my bedroom window and 10 steps from my back door, so I'm always out there fretting like an old yenta, but, it also helps.out like when a bunch of my plants got blown over, I was right there. Well, within minutes, anyway. But your right, I need to detach.

Haha Hows this for out of my bedroom... Well... The temporary bedroom at least.. I've been living and working from my plot almost 24/7 since august, and my roomates works off hours so they work 20 ft away on the porch, while I sleep (lightly of course..... with that trip wire read to wake me up if you can see the small wood and pvc posts 1ft off the around the plot in this pic..... I know the feeling, its hard to detach, I cant wait to get a good nights sleep after the last plant is dried and stable in jars.

Ugh...branches snapping in the rain

Not happy but obviously I did not stake enough.

At least it’s acceptably , though not ideally, mature. View attachment 4697812View attachment 4697813View attachment 4697812
Wow, those are some..really low branches? Not sure if they just look low, but how high up the stalk do you remove brwnches? If at all? Just curious, no judgement.

I don’t remove branches at all; it’s not a thing in my world; I have not encountered mold down there and more limbs = more harvest weight, which in my case is ounces and ounces worth.
