Ontario Outdoor Trees

Hi @ButtersStotch! As soon as you will have less than 13 hours of daily sunlight, so in Ontario this will happen by the end of August / beginning of september: http://www.timebie.com/sun/torontoon.php. Happy growing! 👊

Hey there ButterStotch, as you're growing outdoors this kind of "unexplainable" spots will pop . basically its tiny bug bites, you can tell by how they're clustered together. As this isnt really a big deal yet, there's not much you can do, these mysterious bite marks comme and go. If you want you can always add bacilus thungerensis (BT) which should control any potential outbreak. Meanwhile do check your plant up and down, especially under the leaves and the area near the pot. You're looking for aphids or spider mites which will appear as microscopic black dots. If you do find any, i recommend the BT but if not, well welcome to the wonderful world of cultivating outside ! 🚀

Hey brother. Hard to tell without some testing, but she looks hungry. Looks like she’s consuming lower growth to support her flowering efforts. The issue could be the pH of the medium causing your plants to not be in the right range and therefore not getting what they need. Only way to tell for sure is to test the run off next flush or feed. I think your could accomplish this by pushing a pot up on one side with a brick/stone underneath, then similar on the other side. Just need to get something like a Tupperware under there to collect and test. At a minimum test the pH and adjust your next feed accordingly. For example, if your soil is high 6s/low 7s you need to feed with a lower pH 6.2 ish. If it’s in the range you can make more minor corrections to aim for the sweet spot. Lastly if you can test the EC/ppm of the run off, it can tell you how much the plants are consuming in between feeding and watering.

In general, I don't think its all that great of a thing to spray anything directly on the buds. I've never tried spraying my buds with anything so I don't know 100% if apple cider vinegar would harm them. I tried to dig up some information on using apple cider vinegar to kill PWM and found quite a few articles, but none specified if spraying your buds was okay. They all just said to spray down all affected leaves. In my search for info, I did a few other remedies(Baking soda, Milk, Hydrogen peroxide) that did actually mention that you should spray the buds. One person in the comments of one of the sites I was reading stated milk did wonders for their PWM. I will quote the comment here: "the way to use it is as follows dilute 400ml milk to 600ml water allow solution to stand in an open container in the sun for about an hour then spray entire plant, the science behind this is that milk, when exposed to direct sun and air, builds up natural antifungal and antibacterial enzymes that kill the powdery mildew on contact." I hope this helps and good luck in your battle!
