Hello fellow cannabis growers,
Very bad week for my two critical, they were attacked, yes literally lol by powdery mildew on both main cola but I was lucky enough to spot it at the beginning and just lost few little side buds...
Now I know why...
Last week I started adding a bit of fish blood in powder form on top of soil, I rake.... Right I think I am outside with my tomatoes lol
In the morning some fluff of fungi on top of soil... I rake again... Water with little peroxide.
Now I also over watered because I am not use to leds, and they really dry less the soil....
It has been raining bad for few days and it is very humid and warm...
Left for few hours without fan blowing stagnant air....
And BAM! POWDERY MILDEW
So a lot to learn and adjust under leds and with fish stuffs indoor!
Cleaned the grow room and left ozone on all day with fans never to be stopped!
Another problem coming with spring is SPIDER MITES
! They are back hitching a ride on me when I come from outside gardening...
Sprayed those who can with soapy cinnamon infused water, and removed all lower leaves, inspected all the leaves and killed anything moving 😁 removed leaves with few spiders on them and will do again in 4 to 5 days.
Again lucky to spot it early and obviously I cannot just jump from my garden to my indoor garden without precautions.... !🙄😁😜
So beware my friends those pests are breeding bad now it is spring!
Hi again Beauderay,
Less watering with leds, that's what i noticed too. "Ususally" it was once every 3/5 days, with leds it is once a week ( or even 10 days with some of the criticals). Not sure if it's because of the strains grown but it looks like they also require much less nutrients.
Good luck to you with the pests wanting to enjoy your garden 🙏
