StrawNana!

Homestretch for the Strawberry Banana now! I didn't bother with an update last week as nothing was happening at all, but then this week, they were chunking up real fast and are looking amazing... but then tragedy struck! Day 59 - BUDROT! (Botrytis) Absolutely gutted to have found a load of budrot in my main cola. I cut the top off and hopefully that will isolate it so that the rest of the plant won't be effected, but I'll just have to keep an eye on it and make sure it hasn't spread. It's really easy to see this, the leaves died off all around the affected area and when you pull at the bud, you'll notice it just split open easily. Inside you can see fuzzy white mould and right in at the stem, the bud just turns to brown mush. It can spread quickly, so the plan is to cut off the infected area and isolate the plant as best you can from other plants and/or harvest early if that is either an option or a very last resort. It spreads FAST, so you need to make a decision and go for it. The rest of the plant, however.... looks great thankfully! I'm going to start winding down nutrients after this week and get the plant ready for harvest, but for now, I'm still feeding 3/2/1ml per litre with Bloom/Alg-a-Mic/Grow. This week the buds have got real chonky all of a sudden, but the trichomes are still mainly cloudy. I think they have at the very least another 7-10 days before chop time, but I will almost definitely be harvesting early due to the rot and aim to rescue as much of the yield as I can. Far better to harvest early than not harvest at all and have the rot spread to my other plant too.
