Transitioning into flowering run. Check the video to get a better sense of scale, the three are all between 6 and 8 feet tall now and about the same around. The dosidos is furthest along with preflowers packing the branches (see vid) with the others further behind.
Looking for tips to prevent mold/bud rot outdoors. We've had a wet and humid summer and not sure if we'll get drier weather this fall. Any advice? Have heard both yes and no for defoliating. They seem pretty healthy so I'm hopeful they can resist.
In order to prevent botrytis you will want to focus on building the plants natural immune system. This can be achieved by introducing, silica, beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus which can be made at home, Trace minerals from sources such as basalt, azomite, montmorillonite. Making sure that she is always fed will help prevent Bud rot as well. Deficiencies can allow plant diseases to flourish because the plants immune defenses are weakened due to lack of nutrients. You may also want to consider spraying an organic fungicide during Veg and beginning of flower such as Mammoth Canncontrol & Dr. Zymes. I hope this helps a bit..
So hurricane Ida came through and wrenched my poor Do-si-do over and did some damage to the roots. Stood her back up and supported but this morning she is hurting. Any advice on how to care for her in her time of need? Is what it is but still sad times. Winds were crazy.
Hi mate any chance you can place a make shift 'greenhouse ' for want of a better word around her just while ur being battered still ...but solution if it were myself in ur situation would be 'she's 10weeks' in (she's got her strength and network already going on with most of her hard work done already with her being a photo but keeping ur food levels similar so she hasn't got to battle with other probs....and make sure she gets all her micro minerals she needs and tlc a booster and root strong substance (,nutes) shud give u the strength to get through this bad weather and perk her littlefans bk up , she's strong..already 10weeks into her flow so she's gonna be quite resilient just check her every few hours and keep checking for any small changes it might be a case of upping her middle nutes just protect and close eye for now good luck growmie I hope the storm gives her enough but not too much water also...so maybe a tarpaulin over the top 👍 g.l 🌱
Sadly Hurricane Ida messed the Do-si-do up royally. Wind blew so hard she blew right over sideways, uprooted a lot of her root mass and snapped the taproot clean in two. I came in and tried to save her but the wilting just got worse and the whole plant was a loss. I cut it back and did some extensive LST on the two remaining to fill out the space after the third plant was removed. Harvested what little bud was there but so immature, not sure it's worth doing much with. Remaining plants are more promising with lots of bud stacking up on the 8' tall stalks.
Updated with more photos, recovered from the pruning and LST after the hurricane cleanup and packing on flower! 🌲🌲🌲
Continuing well, windy weekend broke a couple small branches but now stacking up nicely. Gelato is a little behind the Zkittles. Likely feed them and the soil again later this week.
Grew a little more lanky and unstable than the others, fell over under its own weight then snapped off entirely during a hurricane but the other two strains survived.
Had some more bad wind and lost 5 lower branches. All good, early harvest on those as they are far enough to smell terpy and show plenty of trichomes. I'll see where hurricane Sam ends up as I decide how long to leave it up. She could use a week or two yet if it can happen and the Gelato is about a week behind the Zkittles.
Plant had some issues with strong winds, needed better training and support. Was starting to show a few spots of rot so I cut her down but the trichomes looked decent so with rain coming tomorrow it was time. Zkittles smelling very strong. Looks to be about 36-38 oz dry and trimmed, maybe a little more. Pretty happy with that yield given there was wind damage from the hurricane 🌀!
Slower to finish but easy to grow and more compact than the Zkittles so it sustained less wind damage. Beautiful terpenes and fall colours from vibrant green to deep purple. Nice compact sticky buds, less stretch than the Zkittles too.
Had about a half a dozen small spots of rot show so even with decent weather in the forecast I decided to cut her. Trichomes are showing some amber, she's frostier than the Zkittles also. Similar heavyweight to the Zkittles here though, expecting about a pound or two dry off each plant.
Wow. When I saw the yields I figured you had the classic oz to g conversion error that always happens here. Very nice. What latitude are you at? I’m at 53 N, Edmonton, and wondering if these would work here.
