Woke up today sick so called into work. Watered the remaining GC Plant 1gal + Blackstrap Molasses spread around. Sprayed any mildew sites with the White Wash which I've decided I will do daily until harvesting. It is 99.9 percent water and likely not very helpful but worse case it blasts some growth off just from getting hit by it.
Overall only fan leaves and only some have very faint WPM after defoliating a bunch yesterday. I realize the plant likely will not grow much over the next few days but we are supposed to get a bunch of sun so I'm hoping I get a little morte density in the buds. They are likely on the airy side due to lack of light. In the end I'll be quite happy with this grow regardless of outcome just in the experience and learning I've done and finding a new hobby!
The sixth picture shows a very small bug. I found a few of them here and there as well as what looked to be some kind of tiny egg. Not sure if these are aphids are just some type of bug. Either way the White Wash I spray hits most of them off as well and they are pretty sparse.
The smell off this plant and the one harvested last night is super strong now and sweet. This plant was heavily defoliated which was a mistake in terms of it needing more leaves for energy from the sun but I think may have helped in it being less affected by the WPM due to it have more airflow. Either way next grow indoor or outdoor I will only defoliate 40-60 percent like the other one and ensure I do it in veg and early in flower to prevent shocking it as much.
Pulled the trigger on an amazon order to get my grow tent setup for a winter grow. Also got a scale to weigh this harvest in when it is dried. It won't be massive but like I said with what I learned it will be worth it no matter the scale weight.
Best treatment for combating white powdery mildew at first sign of it? I used a non toxic sulfur spray with some defoliation of the more prominent leaves, especially any close to a bud site. It helped keep it at bay but had to be reapplied weekly and still fighting it daily.
Looks like your close to harvest. If the Milk cure doesn't do the job you can use 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar to 1 quart of water and spray her early in the morning before the sun is shining on her to prevent any leaf burn. This is the more extreme treatment of the two. Hope this helps👍
A lot of growers are having issues with morning dew sitting on their plants because of the cooler temperatures. You can drive a few stakes to support and try to cover her with a lightweight frost blanket to keep her dry at night.
@Philindicus, yeah we are having real humid fall here and then nighttime temp fall hard. Good call might try that. The white wash may be working I noticed significantly less wpm today, sprayed again for good measure
@@Removed, hey I havnt weighed the haul yet its up drying still. I didn't have a scale yet to weight it wet.
The smoke from the small branch that broke off I dried and smoked without a cure and it was good, not harsh, energetic high
