*** Ask Dr. VonDankenstine ***

im going to lose about a 1/4 zip no big deal.. ive been down this road before, obviously. i got the dehumidifier and i though that would be the cure.. and it was.. but i tried to manipulate the temps for the last week and i guess thats all it took
shit creeps up fast.. and i think my biggest problems where:

low light in a back corner ( 3 1000w on 4.8 table.. back area 4x4 in the dark with fan)
water pooling slightly in back corner
me with the temp drop
bucket filling and letting humidity rise like a roller coaster
genetics of my plant atm..

the two that got it, were right next to each other in the back corner..with the lowest level of light on the bottom 1/3 and the bucket sat in a small pool of water.. i guess if its winter or fall out here thats all it takes .. i grow in the country here and even the surrounding plant life gets hit hard by PM when the seasons get colder.. sorry for rambling.. can i use the breast milk from a cambodian lady
 
i only used milk twice and the plant i treated the first time was cured with the milk???and the ones i sprayed a couple of days ago cleared up pretty nice.. of course i cut alot of shade leaves to get rid of the spores and get more light down low.. how about apple cider vinegar and water.. suppose to work the same but in reverse as baking soda water which ive also tried..
 
you have PM? aww man I feel sorry for you, I hate that shit, it is practically impossible to get rid of completely. If you are in veg, go get some safers or serenade, and spray the shit out of your plants, once every few days even if you dont see more. If youre in flower, the ultimate cure, or so I hear, is to dip your whole plant in water with Dutch Master zone and penetrator. Do this a couple time, say 5 days apart, and youre PM should be gone. You can dip mature buds in even and theyll be fine.
 
thanks hom36rown.. yes i got PM in the last week... just on a couple little buds i have the penetrator but no zone.. ill get some for the next run.. thats an intresting combo and thats just the what i was looking for...i just wanted to get the shit off like 6 little side branches that i chopped early.. that sounds like the junk...
 
yeah i already looked into it.. ..and man zone and the rooting hm.. are the only dm products i dont have yet.. but ill be getting some now.. its like a free bottle considering i clean the buds and head to the store.. shhhh dont tell anyone.. thanks friend
 
any ideas wots going on with this one? i am waiting on my ppm - ph meters to arrive so i just added quarter teaspoon of FF grow big n big bloom to a gallon of water 3 days ago. the soil is dry today i am thinking of watering but i just wanted an opinion about whats going on.

Stumps -Can't see the pics, attach em properly...



Ptrigger... What's the relative humidity?



That might be why it looks like a overwatering problem... Or lack of light... What's the lighting situation...
 
Dr. please advice.

These pics are at day 26.
The seedling have done NOTHING in over a week. and they are digressing.

Bag seed, in Miracle Grow.
Each light is a 27W (100 equiv) 6500 Kelvin CFL.
Fan going.
Mylar curtain.
Temp averages 74, humidity 40.
no nutes at all, except whats in the MG.
VERY little watering. I use a moisture meter.
Ph is under 7, and over 6.5.

It seems as tho I should have much more growth by now.

Your opinion please?
Thanks doc.

looks like you need to add a chealeted micro additive and let the soil dry out in-between watering's. What is your water source?--tap/RO.
 
Doc

so yeah like y told u me j jus been flushing letting it get completely dry then flush .. How
Much longer u think till I chop them.. I'm noticing that starting from the bottom the big fan leaves have been turning yellow and slowly wilt and become droopy I pluck them should I do it or leave them there also I spotted little tiny green insect underneath some of the big yellow fan leaves I plucked .. Because since the flushes I see it a little more healthy and swelling with many more white hairs popping up in many other places .. What other way can I tell if it's ready besides the microscope thing..

Some use to go by the 80% red hair rule but it's not as good a gauge as looking at the trichomes. Show us a pick of the green bug. It sounds as if your within a week of harvest. Get you a 30x scope/jewelers loop/mechanics magnifying loop/postage collecting loop. many are under 20.00.
 
I just use a sherlock holmes magnifying glass to get these pics...close up...

Here's the bigger shot.

These have a week or two to go...
 
Hi Doc,
Will look for the chealated micro additive.
using tap water that has set at room temp open for over 24 hours. The PH of the water is between 6.5 and 7.
