Day 91-92 CPK. WHITE DEATH decended on her neighbors. Mold showed up on one bud in 2 of the other plants in this tent, not on this plant but in plants on either side. Got some great advice from a grower that goes by m0use and thanks so much I followed your advice and am seeing no mold or damage. I removed the top that had the mold growing 2 inches below the affected spot there was nothing under or behind it or anywhere else that I could see so I must have caught it very early. Next I mixed 2 cups of spring water with 2 ounces of 3% hydrogen peroxide, then misted the whole grow until I had used it all. This was done at lights out I placed a fan in front of the tent opened the tent on all sides and let the fan dry her off before the lights came back on. When the lights came back on there were a few places at the back of the tent where I used a paper towel to dab some wet leaves then blow dried with no heat to be sure that section was dry, the blow dry was only a minute or 2. It worked plants looking great checked trichomes and they are all there and clear so mission accomplished. Again thanks to m0use for the help and I plan to start bud washing between chop and dry on all grows, I tried to reply to all answers on my grow questions but once again the techno caveman doesn't know how to do something simple. Copy and pasteing this on the other diaries... Yep that I can do. Ok happiness flush continues and starting to see some cannibal fade.
Day 96 CPK. Finally got some color on this hulk.
Day 97 CPK. Watered ph 5.8 she is so close that I did not check runoff. Got the big Banana out of the tent so I moved her forward and gave her a good inspection. Found one of the small outer tops that had been facing the back wall had a small half inch area of thin white mold which got cut out. I've added a mini dehumidifier in the tent and a large one to the room. I've never had a mold issue until I switched out that big16" oscillating fan for the 6" monkey fan. Strongly suspect there is no substitute for the amount of air that big fan moved. Especially since I added 1 more oscillating fan under the canopy to the 1 that was already there plus the dehumidifiers plus the 2 clip fans that have been there from the start of the grow. My rh is around 50%, CO2 around 1200 ppm. My other theory is over the winter there was COVID in the house and we kept the humidity in the house high to keep from coughing our heads off which has led to a mold bomb effect.
What type of clip fan you using there bro? I am looking for one for my tent tutorial series. Check out my greenhouse flashback grow to see how my critical purple turned out! We got 1 auto hermie out of 3 we had to pull but the 2 that finished came out beautifully caked. I can't wait to see how these turn out!
@Loserofthemonth, Thanks so much bro! You are a legend, I will for sure give you a shout-out when going through the equipment best used for these style grows. Thank you again for taking your time to respond my man. Your plants look amazing, Great work and keep up the amazing effort.
@LegacyMarketFarm, I'll check my Amazon orders and get back to you . Those are 3d printed pole clips that the fans are clipped to and solve all clip fan problems. I got those on Amazon also. They are called "grow tent fan mount". I'll put up a picture. Ok I checked and the actual clip fan is an "Air King" and it's a very good quality fan. Went thru several before I found these a couple of years ago. Ok hope that helped and I'll get over there to say hi on your grow soon.
@cheetah844, well if you see I've already answered this, it's because I think I did but I don't see it. This strain is gonna be a mystery to me since I have never used or grown it knowingly. By the the way love my craftyII but I'm way too lazy and old school so it is seldom used. Glass and paper are my scene. As for asthetics and her not being photogenic it's just a color and frost thing with very little contrast. She is really beautiful and I expect to get some color in the next 2 weeks. Olive frost makes a boring picture. Good luck with your grow, I wish I could help you with more experience and say I've seen this robust phenotype before but she is my first CPK and is a single girl.
@cheetah844, I have not used this strain before but the genetics are tasty looking. I've tried to use different dry vapes for a few years. I do like the Crafty II, but I rarely use one. I'm lazy and old school, glass hammer and paper.
@Loserofthemonth, I grow for the same thing... Personal use then give away extra. (I use a very efficient vaporizer too so I use even less than the norm). With just this one harvest I probably wouldn't be able to use it all up in my lifetime.
Wow 10oz! That's awesome, thank you for suggesting this grow!
Have you used this strain before?
