Finished week 2 of flower. I have been inspecting every single leaf for PM and have found a few spots, but quickly spot treated with solution. I have learned that PM is a SYSTEMIC disease and the spots on leaves are a symptom of an already infected plant. So the best thing I can do is keep the symptoms in check by spot spraying and its working! Only a few burned leaves as a result, but nothing like my first grow where it was widespread!
Defoliated to thin out a bit and allow for better airflow. Light LST to a few of the taller stems to maintain an even canopy. Overall, I am happy with the way my 2nd indoor grow is progressing.
@Growdaddy420, thanks! I can't wait to see how she progresses...learned a lot from my first indoor grow, so hopefully 2nd time around will work out even better!
They're still vegging, so I'd go hard and alternate serenade and garden Friendly Fungicide with some liquid copper. That's just me, though. I have never dealt with PM, but I do treat with mild solutions to help prevent.
@FoTwenny! Hey there! Check out Week 6. They have bounced back big-time! I did some more research and sprayed them with a potassium bicarbonate/veg oil/Dawn/water solution. Suffered some burned leaves in the process, but they all recovered nicely!
@greenflipcali89, It's a new regimen and haven't seen negative effects, but I only use the copper up until 12/12. I continue Serenade until buds begin to form. My current plan only adds the AG Garden Friendly if there is an active infection. I also use a mild solutions with been and potassium silicate, which both have antifungal properties.
