HEY THERE FOLKS.. GOT SOME KINDA ODD ISSUES... HOPE I CAN GET SOME INSIGHT... THANKS!
...So...
I have 16 plants (12 GDP & 6 BUBBA) that are 42 days (end of 6 weeks) into flower as of today. I have them under a 1000w hps and a 400w hps (so that's 1400w total) and they've been coming along beautifully. I have recently come into a pretty bad Powdery Mildew situation, that I for the moment seem to have under control, thanks to the almighty saving power of SERENADE which I foliar sprayed like a mad man around day 36 and 37 to get the situation handled (and I now owe my entire crop to
), but.... (here comes the problems)...
1. I have read that PM comes back within about a week, and I don't want to ruin the taste and smell of my crop by spraying the SERENADE again so close to harvest time (even though the label says it can be used up to and including harvest day, it doesn't tell you that your bud will smell and taste like an asshole cleansed with vinegar...no joke
).. I fixed the issue that looked to be the main cause which was a combo of low air flow and a full/neglected runoff reseviour, but there is still a good chance of it coming back naturally.
AND!! ....... (don't give up on me just yet..
)
2. My built-in AC unit looks to be running low on refrigeration and is starting to freeze over/leak. I run the risk that at any time it could possibly shut off, causing me to have insane temps in the room that could prove deadly to my beautiful little darlings..
BUT.. (almost done..)
3. The trichomes are just barely starting to milk up (I mean BARELY) and the GDP still has yet to fully turn purple, (although the stench is definitely back as well as the taste, I assume) and I have read everywhere on these forums that my full flower cycle for GDP and/or BUBBA should be somewhere around 60-63 days..
So.. (Here comes the curtains...)
Should I start to flush now? Should I start to run 'em with just the 400 and no AC and take a loss on the lighting to lower the heat in the room in order to squeak out another 2 wks of flower (my own theory) ? Should I be worried about the PM at all? should I spray SERENADE lightly once more in week 7 if the PM returns?
I'VE GOT ???'s YOU'VE (HOPEFULLY) GOT ANSWERS....
