Topped and defoliated about 6 days ago. Everything was going great then disaster struck for the first, and hopefully last, time. The vent somehow got left closed at lights out, and the temp dropped about 26 degrees. It was 63 when I popped in after lights on. The girls all looked great so I thought we were good.👌😊 Not so lucky. Couple days later, fuckin powdery mildew.😤😢 So, not that bad. Yet. I got right on it. 4 girls including these 2 were infected the worse. Defoiliated most of the leaves with mildew spots, and wet paper towels the rest. Then, 1part milk; 3 parts water in the mist sprayer. Thank you so much Nebula, GWE. I've only seen a few spots on a couple of other girls, but that means all of them get the business now.😲
hey bro! looking good so far.. maybe too high on N or is it the light that made the leaves look super green? =)
good luck and happy growing!
Growing in the amazon is back!
@Cyrusdavirus, thanks for the kind words, and encouragement.😐 They seemed to be really healthy at first. After the third round of pm hit they began the downward spiral they're on now. I blasted 'em with nutrients in an effort to help them recover, but they couldn't take it like the other strains so here we are. I'm thinking it's just bad genetics. We'll see what happens. Maybe put one in the ground for summer and see what it does.😦
@420DeepGrow, well I gave them a hot load like I have, and did the other strains to help them recover. It helped the other strains, but burnt this one. These two clones are the oldest, and yet around the second or third week of flower they started falling behind the other strains. I'm thinking bad genetics?😐
I haven't had to deal with any wpm in years but I remember using milk n water mix on the grapevines and unlike most other sprays we did it in the morning because the milk reaction to the sun caused a chemical reaction and that was what killed the mildew... I don't remember the mix just remember doing it hell this was 30 years ago but it worked, might be worth checking into it 🤔
Just sharing what popped in my head when you called it pm
@Cyrusdavirus, thanks man. Yeah, that was the first treatment they got. I didn't have much faith that it would work. I had a pm (wpm) problem with one of our Hawaiian Thai grows and it didn't work then. The potassium bicarbonate worked, for a while anyhow, but it came back. Now, this thing with the hermie. Ahhh!😤
