    Toronto autumn 2021 - how are your plants doing?

    Doesn't look like phosphorus excess in my opinion, just a nitrogen deficiency. It honestly seems a little early to be seeing pale green on the sugar leaves. Maybe give them a dose of liquid fish.

    Best strains for Northern California outdoor?

    He passed away, but I'm pretty sure MzJill is keeping the genetics alive. I grew Querkle 10 yrs ago, so I have no idea if it's suitable for Sonoma.

    Cheers, it's 50% genetics and 50% from finding an awesome new soil mix: Recipe 420 from EB Stone. Add in some compost tea every 2 weeks and they'll be praying non-stop. I'm only good for watering and spraying for caterpillars :mrgreen:

    Best strains for Northern California outdoor?

    Thanks, the fog is a massive challenge but I'm still able to get bud. Sounds like you can be a little more liberal with indica-leaning strains. Your T5 should be fine. I used this light for 6 plants, and they got to about 4 nodes? Can't remember...

    Best strains for Northern California outdoor?

    I'm in the same boat, growing in foggy SF and can't have monsters because of neighbors. I went for a similar variety this year: some indicas, some hybrids. So far the indicas are not doing well with budrot. Already had to chop one down. My GSC crosses are doing the best, because of the big...

    On average, how much % of your harvest is lost to carerpillars?

    First time I've heard of it. Looks like it's a bacteria? My rule of thumb is I'm fine spraying bacteria on buds, they get combusted anyway. I don't really get why state testing cares if there's heavy microbial load on the buds. Maybe they're scared of consumers getting e. coli?

    Wow fingers crossed for you guys affected by the storms. It's pretty brutal out there.

    Treating stem rot

    It's hard to say. If the rot is systemic, which it likely is, it will continue moving up the branch. The liquid copper makes it move at a snail's pace though.

    Sirtalis' California Organic Outdoor 2021

    Here's a pic of a MPU branch I found on my phone from 3 weeks ago. You can see that the stem has lost color and the sugar leaves are limp and browning.

    Sirtalis' California Organic Outdoor 2021

    That's good to hear. I think that I'd rather have dead caterpillars decomposing than live ones ravaging and pooping everywhere. The transition phase between precip ---> heat is where the mold will do best. Using biological controls there's only so much we can do, and we have to roll with the...

    Sirtalis' California Organic Outdoor 2021

    I have been spraying, but I think I messed up by spraying in the evening where humidity would reach 100% later that night. This plant has had systematic botrytis for over a month (the stems are rotting), and the GFF is keeping it from spreading. Even with Regalia, potassium silicate and GFF it...

    Microorganisms in Nature

    I alternate soil drenches with anaerobic and aerobic microorganisms. AACT one week, EM-1 the next week, then AACT... It's pretty obvious that in nature there's a balance between both, and I've seen tremendous results incorporating this type of schedule. My plants are constantly praying, no...

    Treating stem rot

    I use a q-tip with copper fungicide. Seems to help stop the spread. Honey attracts ants.

    Sirtalis' California Organic Outdoor 2021

    Had to chop a branch off the MPU. One of the sugar leaves was browning, showing signs of mold. I'm trying out Regalia root drenches on this one (the white stuff on the soil is Regalia foam). I don't think I can spray anything on the buds anymore, too risky. Really need this indian summer to...

    Mold build up? How many days

    Regalia can end up in the final product, but it is organic. The solution is to wash your buds after harvest.

    On average, how much % of your harvest is lost to carerpillars?

    I'm finding that BT sprays right after the sunshine doesn't hit my plants anymore is perfect. About 6pm for me. It gives them about 4 hours to dry before the temps really drop, and the caterpillars come out at night to feast. I have a plant about 6 weeks in flower and I'm still spraying. I...

    Effects of ISR/SAR at various weeks of flowering

    Ah ok it turns out the second poster is a troll. @Rurumo, have you ever tried spraying chitosan during flowering? I'd think there's a balancing act between the right dosage and frequency depending on the phase of the plant's life. Next year I'll for sure be loading the plant up during veg...
