Day 22 treated with weekly sulfur spray for WPM prevention (spots on leaves is where the sulfur pooled and dried). Stems started to fatten up a little this week. Watering to runoff about every three days right now.
Day 25 preflowers appeared and stretching has begun.
Day 26 Santa Ana winds coming thru, humidity plummeted to 7% this morning. Watered plants at sunrise to try and raise their local humidity
Day 27 fed hydro tea
Day 28 weather returned to normal humidity levels. Growth has sped up tremendously.
@Ga4rd2en0er, yeah man and me the reverse lol see with the powder the technology is simple you spray spores onto the plant and hopefully some of them will germinate into bacteria that will survive the lights long enough to reproduce, during an outbreak you want to spray upwards of 3 times a week in peace time you can apply the bt every 10 days or even once a month depending on how well they take hold, and they do take hold : a very virulent thing it is BT & BTi !
@Ga4rd2en0er, "carrier solution" you mean when you mix the powder with tap water? that's the only stuff i know about and i use myself. the way mine works is i mix the greyish powder with tap water then i use that in the feed and as a foliar spray an hour before lights on and a half an hour before lights off (works better at night because the spores dont like the light) ...
what is this sulfur bro? i usually add mag sulfur as a spray and in the feed but later and mostly for flowering as that's when the sulfur is used ... spray at sundown in veg, no reason why not if you think about it and it's much easier than waking up 1 hour before the sun does 🚀
@Ga4rd2en0er, ah wow interesting, had no idea, i usually use beneficials to combat such things but i'll look into the sulfur thing, thanks for the infio btw ! 👊
@CRiSPrGrow, spraying sulfur to try and prevent powdery mildew and downey mildew which is rampant in California, especially coastal regions. Sulfur is an old school method of preventive. I can apply it as a dust which is what I'll try next application.
