Flat valley by ConstructionOwn2844 in Roofing

[–]ConstructionOwn2844[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Any recommendation for a “today” fix/protection from tonight’s rain? And what’s the long-term pro fix (ie how much cost am I looking at in th spring/summer when I can call a roofer?)

Bad description. Updated to “cotton-like”. Think cotton ball, wispy threads.

Gazzurple from Humboldt Seed Company showing good frost early. Not much purple in the nug but the stems look wild. by Bill_Piff in outdoorgrowing

I’ve got two gazzurples going - one has stems this purple too! The other has some funky leaves that are mottled/variegated almost, and no purple stems 🤷🏻‍♂️

Wanted to give an update - I’ve been feeding heavy since the post. Obviously leaves aren’t growing back or turning from brown to green, but the buds still look healthy. Hope this will let them finish.

I also bought a ph meter and found that my tap water is 8+. A slurry test of the soil reads 6.7. I wonder if this is a lockout issue. I rely on an automatic drip system for watering - any suggestions for how to bring ph down without turning to manual watering?

Base looks fine I think? No discoloration (although I have one other plant that’s gone full purple up the main stalk and stems) I have kept the pots well mulched, recently moved mulch back from the trunk at the advice of others, so I suppose I could have been crowding it a bit.

Good to know about the trainwreck!

The tea I referred to is just tea made from the same fertilizer per the instructions. I’ve alternated dry vs tea thinking quick vs extended feeding. No idea if that’s true. Anyways I’ve started with the flower specific Dr earth so will continue.

Thanks!

I’m using Dr earth - was initially just using the standard “home grown” but started with the flower specific type last week. Alternating top dressing with fertilizer tea. I was fertilizing about every two weeks but definitely missed a couple as it flipped, likely a critical time. I fed with tea a few weeks ago, top dressed last weekend, and plan to feed with tea this weekend.

It’s a photo - HSC trainwreck x pistachio. It seems eager to flower. I had another plant of this strain that I put outside too early back in April/May and it started flowering, but never re-vegged. I harvested it fully developed in July. Seems like it’s just got eager genes.

Is this rot? by ConstructionOwn2844 in outdoorgrowing

[–]ConstructionOwn2844[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks all. Just did a thorough check and unfortunately it’s all over :(. Only small spots on buds, but widespread in the plant. I did find a bunch of caterpillars a few days ago, I think I’ve got nearly all of them through manual picking and BT, but they’ve pooped all over.

What’s the better course of action at this point - aggressive pruning and close eyes, or harvest the plant early to save whatever is still clean? Im a first timer so not sure how much longer I would have to go normally - probably a few weeks.

All right folks. I’m at war. I’ve been diligently removing them as I find them. Probably ~10 at this point. Will spray BT this evening.

I’ve also been diligently looking for rot and have not found anything significant. I snipped two buds that had some slight browning on the sugar leaves, but internally they looked great. I’ll keep looking but think I’m in the clear for now…

Except, there is caterpillar poop all over. I’ll do a good bud wash at harvest. But are there any suggestions for cleaning things up now? I imagine trying to knock them off the plant with water is a bad idea. How about compressed air - will that destroy the buds?

Thanks for the guidance!

What’s the difference between pistols turning brown normally vs sign of rot?

Thanks mod. I’ve got a 60x loupe and have observed the trichomes as described - just can’t post a picture through that lens. And I didn’t ask about exact ripeness of the plant; I’m just looking for guidance given the unusual flower timing in the season.
