Maine Outdoor 2020

LAST FEED 8/9 8/10 Plants are looking good. Flowers on mendo are plumping up. Other are stretching and have pre-flowers. I noticed a few stiplings on leaves. Not sure if it warrants a spray tonight or not. P.M. I went soaked the plants today as the temperatures were in the nineties again and the bags were dry as a bone. I feel like i'm watering too much but that is not my biggest concern. I check my plants AT LEAST three times a day with a closed circuit so I can monitor them at will. When I went to check them just as day light was fading I noticed some powdery mildew. I had dealt with this before due to the humidity and was able to just remove the infected leaves. I went and looked online and found that I could use captain jack's which I was planning to use anyway as a preventative and to kill some random critters. I shined the L.E.D light on a leaf and found much more powdery mildew than I saw without that extra light. It was not totally dark so must have something to do with the L.E.D.'s. Anyway I immediately went and got the bottle of captain jack's (I had no time to mix a gallon) and just went and sprayed what looked like the worst. I didn't focus so much under the leaves as much as trying to soak the plant and get an even coat. I'm hoping since this is a systemic this will solve the problem while preventing and killing other pests in the garden. I needed o use the flashlight to finish. It's still not totally dark so I have no worries about hurting the plants. I'm just wondering if I did a good enough job. I guess only time will tell. I planned on taking pictures but my phone totally died. Sorry guys. I'll take some in the morning. 8/11 I woke late around 6am. My phone died and I missed my alarm. I received bad information and thought the spinosad would take care of the powdery mildew. The relative humidity is fucking 91 percent today. This is incredibly ridiculous. My pictures are even coming out shitty. It's even hard to breath and i'm in good shape. Plants didn't look as bad as last night but what I think really made the difference was using a L.E.D flashlight to expose what was really there. I had to really look to find it this morning. My PH is a little on the high side already so I didn't want to use baking soda but milk seemed to have failed last time as well. I went to the store and mixed 1 TBSP baking soda 1 TBSP dawn 1 TBSP vegetable oil and sprayed the shit out of the plants. I'm not losing shit to powdery mildew or mold. I need to get off and defoliate a little better. The reveg I just can't seem to keep up with. I also don't want to throw away good cuttings. I was thinking of starting indoors. Anyway I hope I didn't make a huge mistake spraying captain jack's dead bug last night and then hitting the PM with the baking soda. If I did or there is some sort of reaction that you folks know about please let me know. I took some pics on my phone and i'll upload them later. I'll check them all later. I hope I do'n't end up with a bunch of burnt leaves. Now I need to defoliate the inside and LST the rest. I've put it off a little. P.M I went back just before dark to check. I found the small mendo breath in the back that's flowering was the culprit. I defoliated everything with substantial WPM on that plant and wiped down the leaves. I have major work ahead of me defoliating that monster reveg. I find it hard to cut branches and not find a use for them. I was thinking of maybe taking a shit ton of cuttings and doing a sea of green inside. I dont know though. 8/12 I defoliated the powdered mildew I saw on the little mendo breath this morning but I neglected to water. When I went back the plants were limp as fuck. I just watered the shit out of them and I hope they come back. I was going over to defoiate. I'm going to check in a little while and hopefully the plants will straighten out. I've seen what look like deficiencies in some leaves and i'll take pictures. I hope it's not that added nutrients or lockout. UPDATE: Plants bounced right back like I thought they would. I did a bit of exfoliating but I forgot the milk. I only saw PM on one plant and just a couple leaves. I'll wait until morning to spray. Heat stress is lessening despite temps in the 90s and a extremely high himidity. 8/13 Plants perked right back up after watering. I fed three gallons of nutes. I did some defoliation and brought a milk solution to spray on affected leaves. Baking soda seemed to work. I found one leaf with a little WPM. Good thing I check my plants daily. 8/14 I'll add to this later but it seems like my plants might have nutrient lockout. I fed three gallons yesterday and I came back today to find what seemed like chlorosis on a few leaves. Looked like an extreme potassium deficiency or some shit. I haven't really ever "flushed". We get sheet rain here that flushes shit pretty good but it's been extremely hot and humid with no rain.. I'll go check later and see how things are going. It seems like I fix one problem only for another to rear it's ugly head. P.m. Went back and watered everything. Plants dont look that bad. Maybe they are just recovering from the heat stress. It's still in the upper 80s to 90s 50%rh today. I will monitor for lockout. Judging only by timing it seems to have happened after I added beastie bloom and increased amount of nutes and frequency of nutes. 8/15 Its night. I had a busy morning. The ladies look and smell beautiful. The two mendo breath's of the same pheno are well into flower. Everything else is in the stretch mode. I looked back through the diary and noticed problems seemed to get worse when I added beastie bloom and greatly increased feeding. I'm backing off on the feeding. I checked moisture in medium and most were fine. I'm scared to flush. I phed a 5 gallon bucket of water and ran it through the two ten gallon Slurricanes as they needed water. The bigger pits were ok. A little cooler today bit still 80s and no rain. 8/16 I checked plants this morning and the buds on the mendo breath are really fattening up. The smell has greatly increased as has trachoma production. I think my problem with losing leaves may have something to do with me significantly changing my feeding schedule. I'm hoping if I give a nice thorough watering and cut back nutes for a bit I may not have to flush. Who knows but I saw the tell tale note burn curl on some leaves and things changed after I changed my feed and added beastie bloom which has a ton phosphorous. I'm going back tonight and I'll monitor it. P.M. I phed my water as best I could and watered the six plants that needed it with ten gallons. I filled up a bucket and added a capful of ph down to hopfully fet the right ph. I'm still hesitant about flushing my plants. If we dont get rain or I dont see things improve I will ask another local grower for help. Some leaves I've noticed are turning yellow and just dying. These arent big leaves. Plants look great but they cant keep up with the amount of leaves I've been pulling. Also noticed slight wpm on that tiny mendo breath. I made a solution of milk and water and sprayed what I saw and wiped it off with paper towels. I will continue to monitor.
