Juggling plants inside to outside and reverse has introduced a small whitefly
colony (Thyme plants). A troupe of aphids or fungus gnats also maybe.
But I hope, although I don't
like what I see, that I may have introduced powdery mildew, which
will eat the buds according to respectable literature.
So I've decided to start the light nute flush today.
And will follow up with a plain water flush in a few days.
In the mean time I'm spraying the infected plants, assuming all of them are infected with
a mixture of with milk (1/10), sesame oil (1/20) and water.
I'm also running the closet a little lower on the RH side.
Which will kill our cut clones. But heej
I Can't just spontaneously grow a new germ/clone/veg room/closet.

The plant is throwing sex shenanigans in the fight.
Removed a male flower from a bud :S. I'll assume it's from age, not stress nor genetics.
"We've got Anthlers in the Butt" :)
Will need to be extra careful from now on and will
tag the hermie buds.
I start too much experiments.
Or I could do with a bigger KongCave.
Data we are gonna try to collect on harvest:
- Pictures with measurement devices on scale for comparison.
- length root stem, distance from ground to longest budtip
- lengths main stems, defined as distance from proximal interface with
stem to tip of bud.
- diameters of main stems and root
- wet weights, main stems cut to one inch of edge and dry weights
# EXPERIMENT ###6587 DAS DARKBUD EXPERIMENT
###
### it would be nice to know how strains produce relative to each other in
### bad light penetration or other low light conditions.
### this is an attempt at collecting some small observations towards this.
###
- wet and dry weights for a few good selected "Dark Buds".
plant hierarchy and stalk naming proposal
/ (root stalk)
gen0
A, B, C, D, ... (main stalks of /)
gen1
I II III IV V VI ... (stalks of main stalks)
gen2
example:
/
--> A
----> I : 24,6 gr : 6,7 gr
----> II : 46,2 gr : 18,2 gr
----> III : 10,2 gr : 2,2 gr (XY - HERMIE)
--> B
----> I
----> II
----> III
--> C
----> I
----> II
--> D
01/08 Early Early morning just barely august really.
I noticed my dominant top getting thinner, browner. Flowers were turning so fragile
touching them ever so slightly caused them to break off :S.
Pulling back the bud revealed BUDROTTTT !!!!
So we harvested. Fingers crossed the unaffected buds survive.
God damn god damn.

EPILOGUE - HINDSIGHT
So what have we've learned of this erratic grow:
- Don't LST too hard and too fast as you need 'bud -> pot rim' space for better flushing.
I think I scraped a few buds with my wet hands during light nute flush.
- Even if it's mighty inconvenient and it is, remove all flush materials a few hours before nightfall.
I used a big +50L bucket filled with a few bricks as a stage for my pot, so I could flash under the LED instead
of in the tub under a single weak bathroom light. I was mighty tired at night so I left the pot on the bucket for
the whole night.
- Keep outdoor/indoor plants separated.
- Milk and oil (neem) regularly in veg to keep small critters out.
- Hygiene, Hygiene, Hygiene
- Never listen to the others unless they are right :D.
- Work harder at the growdiary.
01/08
Another bud with bud rot found. I'm gonna have to inspect them regularly.
Wish me luck.
I think we can do a side by side. Cause I am actually starting another two diaries on the same strain. One would growing from clones. The other would be flowering my mothers. (young mother) I actually started them the same time as my first diary but left two for clones and staggered flowering. I am going to start flowering them next week. So let's follow each other's diaries and compare notes.
Happy growing
