Auto Blueberry - Winter Organic Outdoor

Just as I was about to celebrate the fact that I've had zero powdery mildew on these plants, it started this week :( It doesn't seem to matter what time of the year I grow, I always seem to have trouble fighting this. Real pain in the ass! But, on the flipside - I'm trying a previous product again to see what results I get. It's an organic fungicide by Margaret Roberts (South Africa) and its based on ascorbic acid or vitamin C. So I'm normally quite afraid to spray anything onto my buds in flower, but when it comes to any kind of mildew or rot, you'd rather risk it than lose your crop, right? I've tried all the home remedies in the past- bicarbonate of soda, dish soap, types of oil, milk, h202, etc and nothing has really done the trick. In fact, a lot of those remedies caused shriveled up pistils and stressed the plants out. In veg, sure - you can spray the crap out of your plants and hope for the best, but when they're flowering you have to be more careful. Here's a link to the product if you'd like to read more about it: http://www.kirchhoffs.co.za/product/kirchhoffs-margaret-roberts-organic-fungicide-reg-no-l7422-act3647/ It also seems to be good for botrytis and damping off - so this is good stuff to have around in organic grows! After some reading, I found an interesting article by Ed Rosenthal: https://www.edrosenthal.com/the-guru-of-ganja-blog/how-to-maximize-your-cannabis-harvest-finishing So, apparently ascorbic acid is a great finishing ingredient for cannabis? Okay so I might be on to something here! I sprayed the plants inside and out, covering everything with the organic fungicide, and the pistils couldn't care less! The plants seem happy and the powdery mildew hasn't carried on spreading. The instructions do read that the appearance of the mold doesn't disappear, but the infection will be under control. I'm thinking so far so good! In none of my previous have I ever come accross 1) ascorbic acid as a solution to PM and 2) ascorbic acid as a great finishing nutrient for flowering cannabis - so this may need validation from the fine folk out there, but this could be great way to treat powdery mildew in late flower - while simultaneously giving your plants something great for finishing. I'll let you all know how it goes, and hopefully this saves someone's grow out there! In other news, one of my 3 scotch bonnet pepper plants I'm growing turned out to be poisonous night shade - doh! Peace ✌️🌱
