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.

To bad you didn't get some early nugs!

I lost some of the flower, but have about an ounce of Ass Cheese and two ounces of Ass Cheese Blues. Those two were closer than the Poly Shunk 1 I had to take a couple three weeks ago. Only got about a quarter off it. I've never picked picked bud in July before.

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.

Thanks for sharing your method.

I've used it when they're in veg as a preventative with more success than when they're in flower. I spray about every 10 days or so and use close to a full cap from the concentrated bottles diluted in a generic spray bottle. I hit the stems as well as the foliage and try to get the lower heavily leafed areas of the plants that don't get the breezes and serve as hiding spots for PM etc.
I've read various reports on it being a beneficial systemic, so that's why I try to use it before flowering and before the mold season gets in full swing.

I think it's good to switch things up and tend to use hydrogen peroxide more to remediate active mold. Sometimes I win, sometimes the mold does.

That sounds like a really good plan and application strategy, upping the concentration and not depending on miracles from the stuff.
Also gunna douse the lower reaches and bags a bit more since they are recessed in the ground, The bags have a dose of sulpher on them, but why not.
I''l pick up some H2o2 bottles for reserve, and apply liberally. Great advice guys.

Plus, I was afraid if the Serenade didn't do the trick, Thumper was gunna make me drink a bottle of 3% or never live it down.
I can hear him now.." I told ya, ya zippahead, that stuff don't work. Now ya got to drink up or shaddup. Where you from anyway? Someplace away? "

I already got rot on my little critical auto plant during that last humid wave a couple weeks ago.
I saw 3 drops of water hit it during watering, and thought " No big deal" at 94f and 88%rh, the wind is picking up.
3 days later, was going to harvest it and...surprise, 3 spots of bud mold.
That's a lesson not forgotten, don't be messy and lazy. That was a bad combination.

Thanks!
Yea, it's all good for now. But I bet I'll be singing a different tune over the 8 more days of rain we have on the forecast! Haha

As you know, the weathermen leave a little to be desired in these parts, lol. Rain today, some tomorrow but Tuesday and Wednesday look good. I’m guessing that pretty much anything after that is a crapshoot!
On another note the Foo Fighters really rocked Fenway Park last night!!

Oh man...foo fighters. They were a little before my time but I know a few of their songs. I've heard they do a good show.

Good lord. Any chance we are building up precipitation credits? Get all the rain now and we have a bone dry fall? Haha

That is what happened last year. But it was not good for me. I had a lot of early bud, and it rotted in the rain. Then when I started my fall/winter grow, it stopped raining.

Is there a generally agreed upon best preventative for mold/mildew for us outdoor growing New Englanders? I see Green Cure mentioned probably the most often. Is there anything in it other than potassium bicarbonate or can I just buy some powder and mix my own?

According to the Green Cure website, GC formula also contains a spreader-sticker to help get complete coverage on leaves.
