Good Karma All Around

@JKT48, sorry to hear about you hospital stay. Damn - that is a long time to be in the hospital. My trip is 4 nights. But ball sack can pop within a day or two. I better separate my big one then. I have a set of regular photo and a set of regular auto. The auto just started so they’ll be okay. Thanks for sharing your experience.

@Med_in_Tropic, Yeah. Male was bigger, and more robust. Now that you mention it, all the males I've grown have always been faster and bigger. That has been my experience, little it may be. I can tell before flowering, because the ballsacks are pretty obvious. I've also read somewhere that the calyx of female flowers tend to cross one another. Of course that's not a very reliable sign. But that has been my experience also. How long's your work trip? I didn't catch mine coz I was in hospital for 1-1/2 weeks.

@JKT48, it supposed to do that. I have also started a regular auto. Question - is the male much bigger? In retrospect, can you tell before flowering? So I can be more careful when th mine - I am going on a work trip and worry that the boys will fuck all my female plants in the garden.

Hi @JKT48, I spray in the evening or just before light out. These things don't travel up well. They died either from light or lack of food. But I like it like that. No left over on the weed after a week. Left over you can put in your soil but it only prevent root rots not the buds rot that cause so much heart ache. The dose should be on product labeling. I actually went out and bought a separate weighting scale for measure inputs from the scale that use to weights buds.. If you don't want to get your buds scale dirty, assume 3 grams per table spoon for trichoderma. And 4 gram per table spoon of bacillus subtillis. You don't need to be accurate. Researches say you need a little less of each when used together. But I just go full dose I hate bud rots. So far to harm done to the plants. Key thing is that mixing powder into water need patience is needed. Otherwise clumps of powder will clog the spray head. In that case, just unscrew the head, pull the trigger once, and tighten the head again. Not difficult. These microbes are promoted by safe and organic organizations to replace chemicals in agriculture. If they get on your hands or you can smell the bacillus subtillis. So far, I haven't got sick. Bacillus subtilis does smell like chocolate. Even when it is supposed to be very safe, I don't sniff it intentionally. For concentration of the products that I use; I put 7 gram trichoderma to 1 liter of water. And 4 gram of Bacillus Subtillis to 1 liter of water. Then to help these thing stick on to leaves, I put in two or three squirts of dish washing detergent. I am too cheap to buy "surfactant /leave binding agent". Stir well then pour in your spray bottle. One liter can go for like 10 auto plants. I started with cloth ironing sprays but these don't last long. And I moved on to garden spray. Once I mixed, I spray the rest to other plants in the garden. Works well for fungus prone plants like chili pepper and lime too. The bud rot usually shows up around week 5 or 6. You should spray after week three of flowering to get the good microbe a good starting point. Again, these guys don't stay long. So if you are growing indica or thick juicy buds, you will need to do it once a week up until the week before final week. Actually, I use these microbe up until harvest only because I water cure. I also don't flush. Water curing take care of salt and dirt.

@Med_in_Tropic, that sounds interesting. I’ll try that after the plants are a bit hardier. Btw, I’ve got my hands on the trichoderma and bacillus you suggested. How do you apply those btw? Just mix it in my water? In the soil, or sprayed to the plant?
