herbalistssword Survived the cold rainy week. Plant 1(trained plant) seems to be a little behind with smaller buds. Interestingly the buds on plant #1 are black.

herbalistssword Snails were eating leaves, finally managed too catch 2 of them 1 night. Hopefully that's the end of it
herbalistssword :(
Found white powder mildew on one of the plants, had to cut whole branch off as there sum spots on the branch itself, didn't want to risk spreading it.
Buds are too leafy so removed some big leaves getting around buds in hope to receive mould and have more light.
Reality rubbish weather these days. Hope they make it
More white spots are showing on other plant, but flashing not like the first plant. More widespread on this not just 1 branch affected. Is this white powder mildew? What should I do, I think she is not ready yet
Hey Growmie,
This is exactly what you said .... White Powdery Mildew, good thing you spotted it early. There are quite a few products and homemade concoctions people use to treat White Powdery Mildew. Among the effective treatments are:
Milk (1:9 ratio of milk to water)
Baking soda (2 tablespoons per gallon of water)
Neem Oil (4 teaspoons per gallon of water)
Hydrogen Peroxide (1 teaspoon of 35% H202 per gallon of water)
SM-90 (1:5 ratio of SM-90 to water)
Hopefully, I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

Harvested the first of the plants today, middle of week 12.
I was expecting the buds to grow some more wasn't event looking at the trichomes, but looking at the trichomes she looks ready so I've harvested as I'm running out of supply and need something to smoke :)
The yield is low and the buds are all fluffy. Hopefully the effect is nice but not impressed with quantity.
The 2nd plant I am going to leave longer as some of the trichomes were still clear. Don't think it is the plant to blame, but it did affected with White Poweder Meldew (other plants next to it didn't)
I'll report back the dry weight once they are dry :)
-----
Harvested 2nd plants yesterday 3 days after the first. 74gwet weight on this one.
I'll add dry weight when I have it. But topping and training definitely wins this one. 119g Vs 74g
----
It has been really wet and humid, but they are finally dry after a week in a wedryer. Currently curing, will report on smoke once cured (if I can wait that long :) )
-----
Final verdict:
I have to say, I wish I could change the rating. It packs a punch and tastes really nice. The high is euphoric and strong. Really worth it even the quantity is low :) growing another fastberry in my indoor mix now, let's see who that comes out. Looking forward to having more of this bug.
herbalistssword I'm trying the darkness before harvest methods with remaining plant. She is covered and in complete darkness with a fan. I'll leave her like that for a bit until I have some drying space.

After 3 days in darkness I've harvested her. Can't say that I noticed a benefit to covering her up. I'll be adding weights to harvest from last week
