    New England outdoors 2016

    She's looking so ripe. Weather looking good for the next week or so though so I'm going to wait it out, for the greater good. Had just a tiny Speck of Rot here and there. After picking it out I'm getting the smell of overripe grapes on my fingers. Hard to explain just how psyched I am.

    New England outdoors 2016

    It seems like the main theme around these parts is Let It Go as long as you can. Starting to see a little rot after all the rain but it's still not really bad yet. I've got two with powdery mildew that I'm trying to write out as long as I can but it looks like two weeks is as much as I can...

    New England outdoors 2016

    Would you guys give her more time? Weather has been mostly suck for the last couple weeks here in Southern New England and the threat of mold hangs over my head. This one still plugging along well though. Hoping we don't get a hurricane soon.

    Mold?

    So update. I have 4 Girls infected. I've been using diluted milk sprayed daily as Allowed by weather. Weather kind of sucks right now it's been hot and dry all summer but it seems to want to stay damp right now. The pics above are the worst one. She's maybe gotten a little worse since I...

    Mold?

    Late October is kind of a crap shoot here in southern New England, wish me luck.

    Mold?

    It's getting too dark to see and it's too widespread to wipe all the affected leaves. I had to settle for giving the affected plants and their neighbors a milk water misting. I hit my cucumber plants too. They were rife with pm and somewhat close by, no doubt it started there and spread. A...

    Mold?

    A quick search lead me to two possible solutions. One part hydrogen peroxide to 16 Parts water. Or one part milk to 9 Parts water. Spray where visible. Is there any advantage to one over the other or any better options? I imagine neither will hurt the buds.

    Mold?

    I hesitate to spray directly with anything this close to harvest. However I realized something will probably be needed along those lines. Is there a go to for this sort of thing that is known to be safe? Some sort of vinegar dilute Maybe?

    Mold?

    Also is this preventable? I realize I didn't give any context above, This is an outdoor project in 5 gallon buckets. I have used necrotic leaves as a top dressing, and have been feeding them Alfalfa tea. My last batch of tea did have some fungal growth on the top but I didn't think anything of...

    Mold?

    Just noticing this now. It hasn't been especially damp or humid so this really comes as a shock if it is mold. I've been checking on my girls obsessively so I'm fairly certain this broke out today. Is it mold? What can I do? So far I only see it on 2 out of 10 but these two are the closest to...

    Triacontinol during flowering, am I making a mistake?

    Soil mix was roughly half composted cow manure and half base soil. Added to that I threw in plenty of perlite, a little sand, a little blood meal, and powdered lime. In retrospect it's a little lackluster. In my defense I didn't join this site until June this year. To compound the problem with...

    Triacontinol during flowering, am I making a mistake?

    Thus far I haven't used anything as a foliar spray and it doesn't seem like it would be a good time to try for the first time, here in mid-september. I gave them some alfalfa tea about a week ago, it sounds like you're recommending I use something different for my next feeding. What can you...

    Triacontinol during flowering, am I making a mistake?

    Do you use it as a foliar spray at all? How much do you dilute it for a foliar spray?

    Triacontinol during flowering, am I making a mistake?

    You got me sniffing around the interwebs. Bud Factor X looks interesting, supposedly has both the aspirin and the chitin. Only 22$ on Amazon too for the .25 liter, which should be plenty for a single foliar spray application. I have just enough time until chop to get 1 spraying in (product...

    Triacontinol during flowering, am I making a mistake?

    So, if I understand correctly, triacontanol can effectively negate anything you do to stress the plant. So if I were going to attempt to stress the plant to boost terpenes, anything with triacontanol in it will prevent those attempts from being effective. But if one were not attempting to...

    Triacontinol during flowering, am I making a mistake?

    In case it matters, outdoor grow, 5 gal buckets, southern new england, Pinewarp seeds from BCbuds, roughly 2nd-3rd week of flowering. Some seem to be a little behind, possibly due to light pollution (or just genetic variance), I expect the furthest along will take another 3 weeks, the slowest...

    Not a crisis, yet. Looking for opinions.

    typical rookies overdo it, maybe I've been a little overcautious. I just gave them each a gallon of alfalfa tea a few days ago. Directions here said once every 2 weeks with that stuff, but is there anything I could also use between, or could I move the time table up a bit to every 11 days...

    Organic Feeding 101.

    Just got some alfalfa pellets, gonna start brewing. Brewing 1 part alfalfa to 10 parts water for 1 week, tea is then diluted 1 part tea to 10 parts water. This is all from the OP. Question is, can I end up burning my girls if I give them too much even if I mix and dilute correctly? Or can I...

    Not a crisis, yet. Looking for opinions.

    So it continues and the yellow continues to creep up. It's about one-third to half way up on almost every plant. I flushed and haven't given anything since for fear that this is all nute burn. Is this a deficiency? Iron? Magnesium? Nitrogen? I tried to get a close-up of some of the leaves that...
