Welcome to another week of my introduction to DWC diary
This week I was planning on discussing the General caring of the Plant from week to week However due to a fungal attack
on the Blue cheese seedling I will need to adress that issue instead.
To get readers up to speed , last week I noticed rust like spots on the plants leaves.
So doing what I usually do is research the possible cause of this and all thoughts were that it was a nutrient related
problem , calcium or even magnesium. So I dosed up on Cal mag and the problem not only persisted it spread 😟
So back to the drawing board and more research. After checking thru a lot of material I came across a disease called
Rust fungus and after comparing photos and symptoms I have found my culprit.
There are a few treatments mentioned online however I have gone with sulfur spray as I had some on hand.
Time will tell if It works and I will obviously update in this diary.
It is situations like this that can crop up during a grow that will test your skill and patience.
It is a good idea to carry a few remedies for such occasions like sulfur spray and hydrogen peroxide for fungal attacks
Neem oil or Diatomaceous earth spray for bug attacks And keep the grow area as clean as possible at all times
So hopefully by next week The plant will have recovered and the fungus eradicated I will continue with the planned weekly plant care guide 👊
Nice info! This will help a lot of people starting out. That exhaust out the window like that on the ac is false advertising I think lol. There is a water hose that drains condensation from the cooling coil and it can't go up like that. It has to go down or it will leak.
Looking good man. So does silica in general help keep that PH where you want it, or just the brand your using. Also silica helps plants handle higher temperatures if I'm correct?
@jollychap, I think it acts as a buffer in all the brands of silica and yes it makes the plants cell walls stronger
so they can handle more stress like heat etc
I'm very interested to learn if you can manage your humidity issues with your new dehumidifier. I personally gave up on this. It will increase the temperature to unacceptable levels. Of course the humidity will decrease with the higher temperatures, but for me it is not worth it. Also the unit I have draws more power than all my lamps combined. Probably it is better to do an indoor grow in winter when it is so much easier to control the environment.
