nah u cant see it as well as i can with the loupe..10 days is most im letting it go..plus it gonna be a wet week coming up and i dont want to risk the whole plant get mold on it..i have done cut off a few limbs here and there that had it start to form..my climate is very humid and wet and last year i lost over 60% of this strain to mold..i got 10 other strains out as well but they wont be coming down to about 2 weeks as u said plus im nearly out of smoke lol
Hey brother, you do what you feel needs to be done. I usually try to persuade people to wait as long as possible, so as not to make the same mistake every noob grower makes and cuts prematurely. However those aren't all that premature, another 2 weeks and I'll bet they'll be riper than toby's arse haha. So if need be, pull em with pride, at least you got this far.

Its been so wet man. I already cut away some mold from one of my blueberry gum plants :( Had to cut right into the damn cola cutting a nice chunk away, fucking sucked!
Im sorry to hear this; in the future leave neanderthalville and apply seaweed through the seedling stage as foliar; then once veg
kicks in apply something with azadarachtin molecule; then apply streptomyceces lydicus; and when you start flowering
you need to invest in some phosphorus solubilizer, cellulose degraders, etc; and you will never concern yourself with
this notable dream destroyer again. true story. dont forget to up your ph to 7.2 mold prefers acidic environments, just
my two cents.

well there isnt a whole lot i can do bro..bud rot is rampede here this year..its been the worst season for a guerilla grower like me..we are over 13 inches above average here..i wish i could let them sit but i just cant..today i went to check on them and my blue dream was totally infested..i didnt get shit saved off that plant..the top colas was huge and when i got there and pulled it back to check it out nothing but brown fkn rot..im gonna have to get a indoor setup this fkn sucks..worked my ass off 6 months and didnt even get to save one fkn limb on that one..chopped the purple today to she was getting small signs of rot so i just took it..only ones that are left and going strong is the delahaze,berry bomb and cherry bomb so i will let them sit..i also used greencure on them today so hopefully i will let them sit it all the way out..and the other thing that has been shitty here is humidty is 95% and last 2 days its drizzled and temps are 65 right now prime breeding ground for that cancer known as botrytis..its been grey skys here last 4 days..i really cant remember a season this bad here in kentucky..next year im going withgreen posion fast version,cream carmel fast version, easy sativa,c99,delahaze,super lemon haze,frisen dew,sweet purple,biddy early,early skunk,the church,Ams,purple maroc..and im gonna start prevention spray with greencure,sernade and Sns-244 around frist week of july..im gonna fight this botrytis full force..dumb ass me didnt know about green cure till about 6 days ago..had i not been reading smoke reports and seen someone mention greencure,i started researching it and seen it works best as prevention..i still should get at least 10 pounds off 12 plants left..the delahaze has always been great about not getting bud rot on me but i sprayed it today as well..i hope next year its a fkn sever drought in east ky..i will have to work my balls off carrying water if it is but i dont care it will be worth it come fall

sorry, to hear this, at least it wont be a dry run. btw, these pounds are you giving a number prior to the 70 percent thang? really, though
look into streptomyceces this is a very tenacious microbe that lives off of material on the plant, and it especially loves mold. I use
great white shark for roots plus roots excelurator, crazy insane growth; the gws has streptomyceces in it but you want the real
aggressive strain that loves mold, leaf septoria, etc; ... i wish you the best, im the one who needs advice, someone instead of
ripping my plants tried to make it look like an animal did the damage, not to mention the deer (the deer actually did me a favor,
i may post a pic of this, its one for the history books), anyway this goofy hater left me enough to keep going, we will see but
i dont want to give riu users the impression all is well, cuz its not the case; i just want this year to end to put it mildly...lets just
say i would trade your problems for mine...mold r u serious? im guerilla too...

that is some killer gear you are bringing up, you have gotts to take precaution, those are some expensive beans... im working
my own "anthocyanin" strain, plus fire99 (fire og x c99), and some bag LG (lime green)...distance to goa 10.7.14, we will seen.
stay up broski!

btw, we are on the same parallel and yes it was cloudy and humid for several days starting on the 9.9.14 and then the temp
went down to 40 degrees; when i just discovered the tools that i now use to handle boytris, it was because i had left my
babies in the shade and then came confection flow, sugary looking mold it ran from the leaves to the bud. i thought it was
a goner, i quickly went home mixed up the following : actinovate, azamax, and something else...in short, it chewed the
"shite" out of this plague, to point I was totally miffed as to if there was ever any on the plant. true story, dont despair
if you catch it in time there is hope, i mean this stuff rocks man. you know the pathogens are coming, especially if you
grow in the same area or near hops.

i have found 4 really good early finishers easy sativa,purple maroc,cream carmel fast version and green posion fast version..i have never grew them but i did research and talked to a few people that said they are fully done by sept 20th..u can google search them just type in easy sativa outdoor grow report etc,etc and check it out..thats another reason im going with these strains next year just in case we get same shitty weather we did this year..

my nieghbor did the purple maroc..its a nice plant...its still going...but close...its nice and purple and smells great..cant wait to try it....another good early strain is the jamican dream..I have that going now...its close to done....no mold...big producer...smells like spice,,,,patchuli actually..lol...great bud structure...

it rained like crazy last night....i was at a party..when I got home I looked in the darden seen a few broken branches....got soaked tying them up....rained all night...this morn finished tying up some heavy branches...had to cut one off..it broke and peeld down the stalk...covered the wound in tangle foot to keep and disease out...checked outside and greenhouse plant..NO MOLD..i just sprayed them with Silica yesterday morn...its sorta like GC as far as raising the PH on leaf surface...it stopped raining ..I hit the plants with my leaf blower to get water out of the buds...my buddy in vermont is harvesting some today and said the sun was out there....I hope it shines here today...

I took a few buds of the 9 pound hammer to the party..was dried but not curred yet and it was a hit..people wee passing on it after a few hits...to stoned...lol...glad the GF drove..I shut her off early..haha

try not to cut samples off...lol..I know its hard...whet happens when you cut one off it bleeds at the cut area and that alone can cause mold in that area....when I cut a sample i just put a small dab of tanglefoot at the wound area...keeps it closed...so no entry of any bacteria or disease...I checked the plants all over this morn..we had a hard rain last night..now its humid as hell out...its a front from down south pushing into New England...scary...rather the cool weather less chance of mold...mold and caterpillars worse enemy ..haha...funny i had no PM all year...not that i ever had much..but my buddy next door had it bad last week..I banned him from getting near my plants..lol...

also check buds for dead bugs..i had one on a bud last week and it was just starting to mold ..so I cut it out..was the size of a pea..so not much mold..i just sprayed the H2O2 and no mold since...

its a full time job tending plants now when so close cutting...i go out every few hours and inspect them...the greenhouse is doing great...its the outdoor plants that I need to watch....i have my fans in the GH set on a controller....i set the humidity and when it hits that the fans turn on...I just sprayed the GH with pyson20.. walls..roof.. and floor and cleaned fans to kill any spores or bacteria...

i havent personally but i have heard of people using a skim milk on them. ive found this odd bc i thought the milk would rot on the plants. so maybe using skim milk would ease that some since the whole milk has tons of fat
 
Found several small powdery mildew spots today on 3 or 4 of 11 super skunks. I removed the spots and soaked all the buds and leaves in a spray mix of backing soda and neem oil. Now im gonna do the BS/neem once a week and half way through do a milk mix. Hope i can control it because the leaves havent yellowed much yet and some hairs started turning brown but not many and i think they would like another few weeks

Heavy rain just started here, and the winds are supposed to get strong tonight as well. I went back last night and added a bit more support for my biggest plant, and sprayed them all with Actinovate. After tonight the weather looks good up until October 2 which is the first day of my vacation. I'll be chopping my Crazy Miss Hyde, and a couple smaller plants at that time, because there is still people out looking for plants, and October first there will be a lot more hunters out.

This is my Crazy Miss Hyde, she's 7 feet tall, and 7 feet wide, but I got her spread out a bit.

Thats pretty! What did you do to prep that hole and fertilize it?
I just used straight pro-mix, and Max Sea.
Rippers found one of my plots a couple weeks ago, and they missed her some how, so I had to dig her up and move her. She doesn't get as much light where she is now, but I still have her. lol

did you ph or anything x? I was seriously considering the maxsea switch but havet seen anyone use it in pro mix. wish i would have known earlier
what formulas? when and what?
 
That sucks man! I think im gonna prep next years holes this fall before the ground freezes. Im thinking about just throwing manure, blood meal, and chopped fish in native soil and mixing it good

I always ph'd to 6.3, but I don't think I had to. I never actually used pro-mix, I used a mix that's exactly like sunshine mix #4, called pro-gro. I said pro-mix to make it simple. lol
I used cal-mag too because Max Sea has none.
