These are the worst two for mildew but we knew that before we put them outside. The flavour of this strain was to good to pass up and we wanted to give it one last run. They will have a bath followed by a rinse, we will repeat this cycle if that’s what it takes. They smell delicious already and we hope they finish up quickly to avoid the dreaded bud rot.
Another thing I think helps. If there are any weeds near your plants. Try to get rid of them. I try not to have anything else growing near my plants..except for maybe a beneficial plant
@Pjm70, Thank you for your advice, we would have loved to have a preying mantis around but the birds would scoop it up, nature sure is bringing in all kinds of new species and it is hard to name them all. It is difficult to keep the area clear as we are using a cover crop to help maintain moisture, also feed the bed but we do have the beneficial bugs and they are working hard. We did not buy any lady bugs but they are here and we are happy to see them, it’s the time of year for nature to fight nature. Let us hope the good guys/girls win! 👊💚✌️
Not sure what bugs you are dealing with. As a preventative I unleashed ladybugs. Built a little hut for the with some water. I only let loose about 20 on my 1 photo. Most of them are still there. Maybe worth a try, they are pretty cheap. Build something for them and let loose a bag of 1500. You won't have bugs for too long, other than your lady bugs. First I found 1 in my house. So I put it on the plant. She was there for a week by herself. So I ordered more. Nice plants by the way. I'm on the east coast also. They are getting ready for flowers, but none yet.
