Sorry to hear that natureboy.exactly wilddog,it's hard enough to grow up this way with the weather,let alone have a potent,good yielding and harvesting in Sept plant that doesn't melt.I am nervous as well,been a tough couple weeks,high heat,high humidity,rain ,heavy dews and budding.bad formula.just like they say just wait a few the weather will change,that's new England haha.
Do you you use silica on a regular basis? (Potassium Sillcate )

we breed our own seed for years to get them acclimated to here on the coast and produce high qua;ity bud we get maybe a handful or 2 from a 2lb + plant so mold doesn't bother me at all
Yup, I don't have a problem with my home strain, I have had a little here and there last year on some new breeds that we were trying out. I'm always trying something new to add to the collection. I've grown many things from many different breeders over the years.

No never have.what do you use it for?
Well a couple things, one potassium sillcate is the only thing proven to increase THC levels, and most importantly makes the cell wall structure of the plants thicker making them more resisted to bugs, mold, and disease. It doesn't take much 1/4 Tsp per gallon for both foliar spray and watering. You can use it every time you water. It's a once a week thing for me all through the Veg cycle both foliar and watering, and during flower just in the waterings.

Very interesting,and you get that at a grow store? I use bloombastic to increase trichome production.

Greensand ?

Greensand is a rich glauconite, which is high in iron, potassium and magnesium.
I'm not sue if you can achieve the same results using that due to solubility, and the form of potassium is different. I'm not a chemist so I could be wrong.

I couldn't find how to direct msg you as you're page is private. I'm up in new England coast and screwd up last year growing from Mexican Sativas that's didn't harvest till early Nov. This year I'm growing a mix of hybrids( og, bd, whIte) is auto flower the way to go up in the cold? It would be nice to see flowers in the summer. I just need some advice from someone in my climate. Mine rn are about 2 weeks into flower, I have no idea when they are goin to finish by.

I also have done the Barney's Farm LSD and Acapulco Gold the AG took for ever but never molded at all I was surprised. The Fruit Punch is from Heavyweight breeders.
