That is hella lame... but from what I know you're better off without her :) Find a better one -- they're out there, just not always easy to find
Thanks for the words of encouragement brudda. Helps.

Just took a shot of a DOG that's going to be done soon. Going to post it on my thread in a bit

Medshed, thankfully I never had any real run in with the cops when I lived in Dever. Had a few approach me while smoking a late night cig in my ally, they were pretty cool and didnt really bother me besides demanding my name and shit (left my wallet inside) They told me I should be careful, I told them I grew up in NOLA during the 80s and 90s... NOPD has some serious problems both inside and outside the department....
NOPD is definitely in the big leagues of police corruption. Here's an interesting look at police brutality across the country.

Green cure's supposed to be pretty good. Sub recommends using it in veg to help prevent getting pm in flower. i've never had PM either though (as far as i know)
That's what I'm using, so I'll let you know how it works.

You won't lose your crop bobro. Pm is more of a nuisance in my experience especially with a perpetual garden. It's going to be important not to let your veggers get exposed to it. You may have it contained and mostly wiped out,,,,hopefully the spray you used won't harm your plants, the one I used did not. And you didn't spray during lights on, right? Follow the directions on the bottle until harvest and then get a bucket of water and bleach at around a 5:1 ratio and go crazy in all of your grow rooms.

What a fucking week man. I've been a nervous wreck about the possibility of starting over with my old girlfriend since she called me last week and I find out last night that she's already moved on. Sucks
I was actually bad and just raised all might lights way up, turned my clip fans off for a few minutes, and sprayed like a motherfucker. Then I sprayed under the canopy, too. And defoliated. Which I'm going to go do more of.

HC, you are a great guy, and to hell with that chick. Emotions get the better of all of us, and she clearly needs someone to lean on herself. Growing up, chicks would always seem to move on to the next guy so quick. I remember one long term girl (from my hometown) I dated in college who I asked specifically when we split, "Please just don't hook up with that guy" and she kinda did. So when I got back to school (we were on Holiday Break) I went ahead and humped a couple chicks the first week. I guess I felt kinda guilty, and was talking to my ex on the phone, and she could tell by my voice. It was crazy! Let me tell you who was more hurt, then. It wasn't about hurting her, though (I felt kinda bad), it was just about making me feel better again. I'm not sure I'm saying go whore around.... but after all the hell that chick has drug you through, you might be better off without her pulling on those heart strings. I know it hurts, though. I'm always around if ya need to talk, bro! :hug: Oh, and thanks for the info on the pm. Most appreciated.

Bobo - I'm battling PM now for the second time in my life and let me tell you it SUCKS!!! Greencure will knock it back but you have to stay on top of it. I'd spray every 4-5 days if I were you. I waited 7-10 between spraying and it kept coming back strong. I'm on my way now to spray the PM off a Vortex with water so I can chop later today. I wouldn't smoke this plant but I'm turning it all into water hash and making edibles out of it.

Once I get cleaned up, I'm sticking to seeds. I just hate bringing disease in my room with clones.
Jesus, are we all getting fucked by the PM monster?? I'm really sorry to hear it. Thanks for your input on frequency. Do you spray it with lights on or off? Depending on how things go, it might be a massive butter batch for me, too, which I'd be very disappointed about. This stuff smells so good... I want to put it in my vape and go to town. bongsmilie Lemme know how things go.

Agreed.

Woof woof? I'm going to make some coffee and head over! :)

Wow, enraging. I believe it, though. The cops in Boulder were ruthless-- against college students! It was insane. I saw a 19 year old girl who wasn't doing anything wrong get slammed to the concrete on one occasion. I won't tell you about the others. Two words: Power. Trippers. Very disheartening.

Ok, here's a crappy camera phone shot to show off the new veg spectrum Solar Flare LED. It boosted my temps to 80-82, and rh is now at about 42%, so better than the previous 50%.

Brewing up some more tea for tomorrows watering.

I thought LED wasn't suppose to produce heat? Im mean thats what their reps drag on about lol


Looking fucking awesome though! I would love some led to add to my garden :-)

these are 5W diodes I believe so probably a higher heat factor... they still add heat just not as much as the HIDs. Heat still builds up without proper ventilation. I have 6 running in a room with nothing other than normal fans for ventilation not possible to do with an equivalent HID without ventilation. If I closed the doors and vents that room would still get hot pretty quick -- I can still run more watts in an enclosed space with LED than HID without ventilation. There's definitely still heat though.

Now that the tech is getting a lot stronger, LEDs are beginning to produce heat, but certainly not even close to what HID lighting does.

I run over well over a thousand LED wattage in my trent and it boosts temps 8-10F. I dont exhaust though:)

Thanks, will continue to post updates. Yeah, temps raised 5-7 deg for sure. 80 degrees is fine by me. Just hope my day/night temp swings aren't too much.

Oh, and plucked a nanner off the deadhead. Seems she didn't like the Green Cure. I'll continue to pluck if necessary. I bet she is done by week 8.

Medshed, when are you using the GC up until in your flower?

edit: I was thinking the same thing... That the 5 watters might produce more heat.

Bobo - I spray during lights out, an hour or so before they come on. I don't think you want to spray the GC right up to harvest if you plan to smoke the flowers because it would effect the taste. I've been told you can spray up to a week before chop but haven't done that myself.

I'm borrowing a sulfur burner from a friend to see if I can knock the PM completely out. I have a couple of sativas in there with a month left to go so I'd like to knock it out and stop spraying. I don't think the flowers are smokable after the sulfur treatment. I just want to finish these girls to see what the high is like from them. They are landrace from Oaxaca Mexico.

If you start spraying now and stick with it you will probably be able to manage. I didn't catch mine early enough and didn't stay on the spray schedule like I should of so things got out of control.

Best of luck to you!!

Thanks Med. I was thinking it would be somewhere around 1-2 weeks. I'm continuing to defoliate a little bit, so hopefully the extra airflow will help a little.

Those Oaxacan landrace seeds sound amazing, btw. Lemme know how the burner goes. Sounds like we are both in line to tear our rooms apart for a deep clean...

Peace bro.

Don't burn sulfur on flowers, the resulting anything will be toxic in any use!
You burn sulfur up to flower set, it doesn't degrade and will coat the leaves for the duration of flower.

If your careful you can make a batch of "wetted sulfur" and sponge it on as not to hit the flowers if it is still early in infection. That will act just like a sulfur burn preventing a habitable ph on the surface for the pm, or any other fungal infection for that matter. Gorge Cervantes says you can wash them with h202 solution right after cut and wash off the majority of the pm. He is like Mr. Rogers lol

Or just cover'em in sulfer, sell'em, and call it the 'rotten egg fart pheno' :) "don't worry bros, the fart smell just gets you higher!"

Colo - I completely agree with you regarding smoking of the finished product but not for edibles. Please let me know if I'm off in my thinking here. Sulfur burners create sulfur dioxide, which is toxic to inhale. Sulfur dioxide is also used as a preservative in a number of food products such as dried fruit, grapes (they fume the trucks when shipping), meat (to make it stay fresh looking longer), and wine.

Based on the research I did, I'm guessing that I've ingested a lot of sulfur dioxide over the years. Am I confusing the output of a sulfur burner (sulfur dioxide I think) with something else?

Thanks
Med

Thanks Bobo - I'll check out the horsetail treatment. I've got to say there is a lot of confusing and conflicting info out there regarding PM treatment.

My fairy catcher is ready and waiting. Thanks!

I know, it is maddening at times, lol. This one sounds better than most treatments I've come across, though. I'll let you know how it works for me. :peace:

Hey med, I can see your point. My issue would be in not having a means for knowing the sulfur content of a finished extraction? I know that vaporized sulfur that manages to dissolve in present moisture becomes sulfuric acid so I would worry about concentration, it seems like the unknowns are significant imho.
I'm sure people do worse things to them selves legitimately every day.
