I tried it last season didn't do squat for me other then make my buds smell like shit

I have some on the way from Amazon. I may have to rethink that. How often were you spraying?

Aren't you guys hitting it up with Serenade in humid weather? That stuff eats all that gunk, and can be applied wet, dry, in the sun, and on the day of harvest.. It's OMRI approved for organics. Put it on in humid weather or if your buds get all wet.

• Controls anthracnose, bacterial spot, leaf blight, early and late blights, rust, powdery mildew, gray mold and black mold, and scab
• contains Bacillus subtilis, a soil-dwelling bacterium that controls leaf blight, black mold, powdery mildew and many other diseases.

For sure. I'll apply as a preventive. Great tool for our climate.

I'm curious how you ratio the serenade (assuming you mix from concentrate) with water ?

It can be mixed 4-8 tablesp/gal. I'm using 6/gal for convenience in a 1/6 gal bottle,
It has a faint aroma going on, I haven't tried it on smoke. Better than Bud Rot, I suppose.
It can't be good for bud, washing off all the terps.

The idea is to get the bacterial spores in where the fungus would usually settle and displace it's habitat, I guess. It's supposed to feed on the grunge that tries to grow.

I really try to soak down the bud and dry off everything with fans. Keeping everything dry and good airflow is probably the best treatment to follow.

I'm spraying the plants in flower when humidity starts and a week later. Most of the heat bubbles don't last too long. If we get a couple more mornings of fog like earlier this week, I'll hit it again.

A ton of my shit is flowering like crazy and there are thunderstorms everyday. I only go to a patch once a week, right at dusk or daylight. They are soaking wet in the mornings with the dew everyday. Not sure any spray is going to work on heavy buds in those conditions.

I use H2O2 spray above and below the bud rot, but haven't used it as a preventive. I use Lemon water when I have PM. Everyone says it shouldn't work, but it does for me. I saw it on the Weed Nerd and tried it.

I had to move the Panama Powerhouse to their 3rd location.
They outgrew the tent, now they outgrew the Stoned Pit, so they are on the porch.

They are just exploding, but it took 2 days for the wife to find them tucked in her herb garden.
She was complaining about a weird chemically smell, I told her it was oven cleaner...now they may need a 4th location.

Day1, the Downeast Skunks (5/5) hatched, now I can practice for 2019.

I want to transplant the two beasts I have into the ground. I’m worried about taking them out of the 7 gallon pots. Next year I’ll be using the smart pots so I can just stick it in the ground. Should I bother trying to transplant?

Good time to be having this mold prevention conversation...based on the 10 day forecast for the south shore of MA.

2 days of sun...8 days of thunder storms and rain in the next 10 days. Fucking perfect.

I don't think you have to dry it off. I do because I have 3 fans in the pit.
Leaving it on wet is probably the correct way to do it, gives it a chance to ooze into every crevice and breed.
It probably has a surfactant in it because it didn't bead too much.

ya the 3% brown jug I went thur gals of it saved my arse last yr, still had rot but it really helped u can load the buds with it with no problem u can c it foam up when it hits the nasty stuff

Ya, get the concentrate from grow shop and mix. Does smell like rotten ass unfortunately. Smell goes away fairly quick. Its awesome as a preventive but once creeping bud death starts it can only slow it down. Only 1 way to defeat black mold if it starts. Flowers have to stay below 60 RH. It can't survive in those conditions.

I

Having tried many, botanicares pro bloom with hydroplex and raw sweet has given me results I didn’t think I could attain in Vermont outdoor.

I Will 2nd that, I start feeding budding food earlier than most but it gets them ready to go and held them finish on time. Botanicare has great product

Same here up in maine mine started around April 15 but was my first grow so not sure if it was just those strains

I've had plants do this in May especially plants that are very light sensitive, I do a bunch of pinching feed nitrogen heavy and then they always go back to veg.

Some years I start too early and have a few early flowers. No big deal if you are doing pretty big numbers. You just kill any males and try to help the females reveg. But this year two of mine, an Ass Cheese and an Ass Cheese Blues started flowering late in May and didn't look back. I took down both of them the last couple of weeks due to rot. Neither of them ever thought about reveg.
