The Irish Growers Thread!

Whats up boys and girls, just back from holiday today and thought I'd check in to the Irish thread and see whats been going on. How grows the gardens? Left mine automated while I was gone, came back to find the plants still alive and well. Truth be told I didn't really give a damn about them as the glorious heat of the summer hermed three out of the four before I even left but I was still surprised that all the pumps I rigged up actually came through. Two weeks without seeing them and they look close to done.

Got a couple BLZ Bud beans popped and one old ass mikado x romulan bean my buddy found in his stash from about 10 years ago but that is the co-op. The beginning of next month my cab will be home to hopefully some nice genetics like blueberry headband, chocolate heaven, white widow x big bud, grapefruit, critical +, that is five maybe I will do six I haven't decided.

I'm delighted for you, as you say back into a routine and a few extra quid in the pocket.

I'm pretty much goat proof now although they got one of the RP autos last week, just left the stem and the cotys, I was in the middle of fencing them off when I had to go somewhere and took the chance, they only ate the one and took a fan leaf off another so they must not have liked them for some reason.

As for the plants well things are not good, I'm battling leaf spot disease and have tried practically everything at this stage to control it, last chanc now is h202 and possible sulphur powder.
Everyday I'm pulling off handfuls of leaves and it can't go on so I'm running out of ideas.

i have had problems myself, the soil gave out with about a week left on the plants, by gave out i mean theres no useful nutes left in it, as you know i`ve tried to be fully organic this run that and been lazy and not ased feed them, so they have zinc or potasium def from the top down and its pretty severe too, hopefully i can get in there later and chop he affected plants, its only on one of the kush`s but the other didn`t look too good the other day when i was in there..

for the leaf spot... if the disease is returning after you have sprayed etc, would the spores not have formed a fungus in the soil, or even the tyoe of fungus thats like a spiders web, can`t think of the name of it, but its prevelent in boggy ground, whats yor ground like?? or is there livestock near it, maybe theres a fungus thats sporeing nearby??

You nearly made it, if there's only a week or so to go you're probably better off chopping early, even if you fed them it would take a week or two for them to recover.

It's all rock where they are and are in there own grow bags and all the local foliage on the trees and plants have it as well. According to everything I've read there is no cure but it is possible to control it but as usual the weather is against me, they're not getting a chance to dry off at all, I'm thinking of buying a small 12 x 8 polytunnel and taking my chances with putting it up, if it was spotted from the air it would probably be obvious what was in it. to be honest I'm close to giving up on them, If and when it drys I'll spray with some H202 and get sulphur tomorrow and give that a try, after that if it doesn't help I'm walking away and leaving them to nature.

yeah its a tough spot to be caught in, especially if the natural surroundings are plauged with it then i feel you won`t have a chance even with the spraying, i do hope it works but seems like an uphill battle for you, the tunnel if placed properly could be a good option, even in the depts of nowhere theres little anomily`s like that, i know a wood few miles from here that has hunting cabins and all kinds of tented operations, mostly hunters so if you made it look like a hunters hide???

The only hunting here is for duck and pheasant etc, no deer for 20 miles at least.
I don't know really what to do, the polytunnel is fairly small but would probably still be visible from the air.

why are you pulling leaves? so long as the plants are green and lush iv never worried about it. if you want some thing organic for the mold make horse tail tea, strong in silica and only had tiny bits of mold using it.

The leaves are dying Tonto, not all are as bad as this but a lot of the infected one get like this after a few days.CAM00324.jpg

Not sure of percentage but every couple of days between 3 plants I'd pull 20 or so like that and a load of ones close to it

It has basically killed my WW, she had 6-7 nodes, the first 4 sets of leaves all yellowed and the rest are going the same way
