There are systemic fungicides for botrytis just none safe enough to combust an inhale. grape growers use all kinds of nasty stuff to fight Botrytis.
Federally rescheduling cannabis in such a way that we can legally research it on a national level would be one way to find effective pest and disease treatments and facilitate breeding for plants which would do best in one's region. I know we try to solve these problems piecemeal through these forums , but it is tough to sift through the information.

That sucks I just saw a news clip of Bar harbor blowing hard we are getting 10-20 mph winds here damp but no rain.
Can't be anymore coastal than BH being on an Island. I saw a clip on the Weather channel last night about the weather they were expecting. I'm closer to there than you and am also coastal, we're getting the same weather. This is a good one for sure. Power has flickered but we haven't lost it completely yet...

CRAZY sun is starting to poke out here.

Gusting pretty good here right now--but only light rain. I see some broken branches out there in the hemp field but the plants are still standing.

Pine Tar and Northern Lights are safe in the shed, Gold Warp is tucked under a shed roof against the south wall of the shed, protected from the wind. Sounds like a few more hours of this and then should start to lighten up a little.

Power went out earlier this morning and I don't expect them to restore for at least a day or two. We've got a backup system fortunately.

Stay safe everyone.

Mandocat, this is one of the smartest posts I've read on this forum.

Federal rescheduling and federal legalization is the only way we're going to attract well funded ag research to the hobby grower. There are some academic (non-profit) organizations testing existing products for safety and efficacy, but private and public ag research and development can't even use banks or report the income when selling directly to cannabis growers. Until federal rescheduling, we're stuck "sifting forums" or handing over $180.00 a gallon to some armchair chemist who's pouring soy oil, citric acid, and hydrogen peroxide into plastic jugs, and making miraculous claims,

...And OMRI is a joke. I can put certified organic orange juice in gallon jugs, label it as mite killer, submit it to OMRI and get certified. OMRI make no claims to the efficacy of any of these products.

I'm struggling to get my hands on Hydro peroxide but I do have Hydro Alcohol, will this work, it has hydro peroxide in it, I'm just concerned about the "other" ingredients which seems to be mainly glycerine? Any advice would be great. I'm with you guys and going to struggle.

My leaves have been turning yellow for 2-3 weeks. Is it ready to harvest… in Virginia
Judgeing by the close up pic I'd say a couple more weeks. It still has plenty of white hairs. If you want to stop the yellowing just feed it a little nitrogen. It should finish just fine either way.

I cut the nitrogen when I saw the first flower in early July. I think I’ll just continue with the 0-5-5 I’ve been using. I just never know when they’re ready for harvesting. Thanks for the input.

Random bagseed hit the ceiling today. I wouldn’t be surprised if this thing grows into late November or even early December. I’ve had a Bahia Black Head do it before. Would have been our Christmas tree too if a storm didn’t collapse the 10x10 greenhouse it had overgrown. I enjoy the lone long-runner every now and then. Tule fog permitting of course.IMG_6969.jpegIMG_6974.jpeg
