Crazy rain yesterday. Woke up today and found this on one of my plants. Only one plant affected and plant seems healthy otherwise. Never experienced this before, stem rot maybe? Anyone have a remedy for this? Wanna take care of it quickly and early

Get some 3% hydrogen peroxide and spray the affected area and surrounding soil thoroughly. It may take more than one application but if the mold hasn't penetrated deeply into the stem it should do the trick

ALSO,
May I humbly suggest adding a thicker, drier mulch in addition to that straw: I personally use cedar mulch and it’s cheap from the Depot.

I could get cedar pretty easily I may try that. Unfortunately I had this issue before I put straw down so I don’t think that’s the problem but I’ve been spraying with hydrogen peroxide for a few days and seems to be doing the trick, also thinned out the bottom branches and let more airflow in underneath.

thats what I’ve been doing. Doesn’t seem to be getting much worse, more or less staying the same but no more fuzzy stuff.

Dunphy, what breeder are your White Widows from?

freebies from Canuk Seeds from msnl I believe was the pack... They were my back ups to my backups of my backups... Bought 4 packs from 4 banks and 3 didn't make it. I can check but I think these WW were the freebies.. They could've been extras floating around the seed collection from last year but almost positive they were a freebie pack of 5 from this years canuk/msnl order...

To be honest.. Im extremely disappointed in canuk seeds / MSNL and TSB/true north seed bank this year.... All terrible wastes of money, even these ones that germ'd from the order I don't like... But its better than nothing and I didnt want to run any clones for vigor reasons...
would NOT recommend canuk seeds / marijuana-seeds.nl(I've had 3 total orders from them... First was good I forget the breeder and strain I grabbed it was a few years ago, I can find out if needed. 2nd order was decent as far as ordering shipping, concealment, and the genetics were hit or miss... About 2/3 of my order was on point, but the last pack and the freebies were all trash. But I gave them another chance, I like trying out seed banks for the outdoors because I just look at them as extras the indoors the main show usually..Although I love growing outdoors, reminds me of being a stupid teen running around planting hundreds of trees each year all over the place.

... but anyways, The 3rd order from them was this year and was just a shitshow... ) also would NOT recommend true north seed bank. I wish I could recommend some good ones, but I don't usually trust them to be consistent.. You almost have to go into it expecting trash so your not counting on them, and you don't get disappointed.. Only pleasantly surprised which is fine by me. For my indoor runs I usually stick to passing around some known quality genetics with local people in SE mass that I've known through separate local growing groups and friends I burn with/grow with.

Damn that sucks man. Was curious, as I haven’t seen a lot of people running White Widow outdoor recently, maybe because they aren’t the latest&greatest soup du jour I don’t really know? It doesn’t appear to be a late finisher. I’m running Seedsman’s version so I guess we’ll see how it is at the end of the season.

Yeah man I was surprised to see a couple others running it this year... Its an old favorite for me, has sentimental value.. I had an option for 5 regular WW or like 3 auto bullshits or something and Im not a big fan of autos so I went with it... I dont trust the genetics enough yet, But we'll see how it turns out. Hopefully they're female, If you notice they're just in a tote and planter so they're extras in this reject pile now lol..

Curious to see how yours turn out as well. Good luck on them. I couldn't get seedsman to be able to charge my card for some reason.. Idk why but I'd like to try theirs I'll keep an eye on yours and make a note for the future. Thanks. :bigjoint:

Not sure anything will make it green again, but the damage should be limited. Is the hydrogen peroxide still foaming up when you apply it to the damaged area?

Couple of my plants, Humboldt Dream and Mataro Blue... also, have Blueberry, GSC, and Pineapple Upside Down Cake.

no, nothing is foaming but the brown stuff is a very thin layer. It scrapes off very easy and is bright green underneath

popping 3x Bubba's gift seeds for this outdoor season~ compliments of Humboldt Seed Organisation . I won these over the winter and since they are quick finishing plants @ 50 days, I'm hoping they will be good for out new england BS. It will be much easier for me this year as far as management~ I plan on doing some in a bed and some into pots.
The ones in pots I can bring inside if there is a hurricane and the ones in the bed will have to fight the weather. Updates will be posted over on where I won the seeds, so that others can see the growth characteristics.

I was going to try and get ahold of MOB seeds or cutting... but I can't seem to get them. I was very interested in this

My buddy grew these a few years ago it was actually good smoke if taken care of will finish at beginning of October it's not a bad strain for our climate

Probably a good idea to clean it off gently and then rinse the area with a dilute solution of hydrogen peroxide - maybe half strength - just to be safe

I don't think you'll find many Sats that'll finish properly. Finding a good hybrid should be easy enough though.

Tang your from Mass ?

MOB is "Mother of Berries" which is a strain that was bred for growing in Maine (if I'm not mistaken).

One of my autos turned out to be a male so that got culled. The other auto is really stunted, and it looks like I'll probably just get a foot tall plant out of that, so hopefully it will at least get packed with flowers. Because of that I just planted a feminized Bruce Banner auto seed in the spot where I pulled the male from. The breeder claims its a 70 day from seed to finish so I figured it was worth tossing a seed straight in the ground to see how it does. If my math is correct then it should be ready to harvest by the end of August with the possibility of going through to early September. The photo period plants I put out there are looking great, though.

This is the AK47 that started flowering before I moved her outside, but it looks like the flowering hasn't progressed at all, so I'm hoping it just went right back into veg.

This is the ILGM Purple Haze and she's starting to take off

Nice looking plants. We're moving this summer so no outdoor fun for me .... I'm jealous

Here's a useful link for hours of daylight in Boston. They should shay on veg until daylight drops below 15 hrs.

I understand that, but thanks for the link, I haven't seen that site before. What I meant was that I was thinking it just revegged quickly, since it was in such early flower when I put it outside, because it is growing and filling in nicely, and the flower growth hasn't progressed since it's been outside..

Here are a few other Boston / New England related web pages I put together for growing purposes. I've got a bigger list but these will do for now if anybody wants to play with meteorology schools weather radar and satellite systems. Links below:
