Shit, that's the main reason I trim my girls up tight. I have a 24inch box fan on high just to move the air under the canopy.


Especially this grow because I have 20 large ladies in 3 gallon bags. It would be a complete different envrioment under and above the canopy if it wasn't for all the air flow

I wish I had space for a box fan think Im going to pick up two or 3 little clip on fans just air flow for under the canopy

Damn Bro, I hope you get that shit knocked out. I have heard good things about the green cure, but I hear every inch of the plant from top to bottom has t be treated from what I understand. I started using it as a preventative with the sucra sheild. I will be following to see how the green cure works.

I treated them with the neem and baking soda solution and then cleaned my room but still plan on getting ahold of some green cure and making one of these- http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=117056

best of luck brotha

Hey NB, yeah a sulfur burner is the only thing that I know of that'll definitely work. Good luck on this one bro.

And yeah like Nor'eastern said try to trim your plants up a bit to promote good airflow and circulation. This is about the best preventative measure you can take I suppose, plus it makes watering a hell of a lot easier too.

Here's my 'downstairs'...lol...see how they're trimmed up so it's not a jungle? It took a while but now I've learned to manipulate the plants to grow in certain ways and to stake em and tie em down to get what YOU want, not what THEY want. Haha

Heya BBBBBBBBbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb!!

Your shit's lookin tight bro!! It's nice to have something goin on that you have a little control over, yeah? The pics from your last round show some frosty nuggets!! Very nice!!

Yeah, for the PM, what NEL and other bro said, trim 'em up, airflow, and definately a sulfur pot!! If you end up gettin one, just start with a little sulfur, run it 2-3 nights in a row, 3-4 hours at a time(really stinks though), then just once a night every couple of weeks for prevention. No more PM!!

Keep doin your shit B!!

Peace!

I trimmed them up a little more underneath but I think they could probably use even more. just hate cutting off big fan leaves

I added a little fan underneath to help blow under the canopy so that should keep better flow under there. Im glad I didnt try to pack any more in there when I first brought them into my bloom room cuz I was thinking about adding another 4 haha glad I didnt. I think 16 in those 1.5 gal containers is the limit at that size but fuck I cant wait to see it packed with buds

haha it is nice having a lot more control over an indoor garden compared to outdoor, but yields just dont compare. with the forest youre managing tho, who needs outdoor

but yea I plan on burning some sulphur in there one way or another, but Im just sketchin a little because I sprayed them with neem last night and was reading that if you use an oil like neem then burn sulphur, it can fry your plants so maybe just start with burning 1-2 hours instead?

glad to see back tho Riz

i leave the fan leaves, they help feed the plant. cut away the bottom 1/3-1/2 of the plants branches. leave the feeder fan leaves, good luck bro.

I have used Silinal in the past, by Ecostyle, worked well for me. I think this is available in th eUS, it's a Belgian organic company.

Just checkn in B. How are the ladies doing bro? Did you get that pm under control?

Yeah what's the word??

I say, the bird bird bird, the bird is the word...

everything's going smooth over here. they'll be 2 weeks in tomorrow and I'll post pics of what they're lookin like when lights kick on later tonight.

but I havent seen any signs off PM after trimming them up even more and treating them with baking soda and neem. also keeping temps around 83F with RH at 40% with lights on and 75F with RH 45% going to treat them again tonight but decided against burning sulfur with the plants in there because I dont want to fry them since I already used neem and you dont want to use them in conjunction. but I still want to get my hands on a burner or some sulfur pellets and coat the room without the plants in there

good luck brother, i hope you pull this one through!

thanks man, that's definitely the hope

but tomorrow will be week 2 in bloom. I really need to learn how to take macro shots too cuz the last pic was the best that I could get

enjoy

Lookin very nice nb. Those buds are a poppin'! The macros are tough, I use one had to shade the light when I take mine.

that's a good idea since the excessive lighting was completely washing out the shot.

and thanks man, im stoked on the progress

Looks great man, I'm just sketched-out about the PM but hopefully it stays at bay. I would def do the sulfur burner thing without the plants in there for a day to blast the room itself, that would have to help a good bit. Didn't you say your setup was in the basement? If so that's prob why you are having PM issues. Maybe set up a dehumidifier?

Oh and take your pics right before the lights come on, or right after they go off. Use the flash, and even though there'll be no light in the shot until the camera flashes don't for get to focus first. It'll still work. Take plenty of pics cause some won't look that good. And for the macro, there's a setting on your camera for it. Then you have to be about a 10-20 inches away from the subject and HOLD THE CAMERA EXTREMELY STILL!!! Use the flash and don't forget to focus first. Super macro is the ultimate up-close setting, but you have to be only about 3-5 inches away form the subject and hold the camera even more still than with regular macro. Basically for macros you really want to have a tripod. I can pull off a macro shot freehand after 3 or 4 attemtps, but nobody's getting a super macro shot without a tripod that's for sure!

Sick man! Lookin really healthy. Sorry to hear about the PM.

I had huge issues in my last grow but have negated it completely
in this grow, here are several differences I made which I believe
played a part in my removal.

1. Bleached the tent, hoods, fans, pots, etc.

2.Feed Azamax as a regular additive once a week at about 1-3 mL
per gallon as the plants grow, until about the 2nd-3rd week of Flowering.

3.Consistent, strict foliar spray once a week consisting of Ed Rosenthol's Herbal
Fungacide, Einstein's Neem Oil, and a personal product which helps raise the pH.
Mildew's can't stand high pH environments. Prevention is the key to success.

Great post, I'd rep if I could!

def good info there. ill have to share sum rep then

curious tho guys i was told by a manager and vendor at a collective that PM is sumtimes confused as an air type fungus but that its actually in the plant itself or sum shit... im not entirely sure wat all he meant but kinda confused cuz like DC said u could take out all the plants and basically bomb the room... or u do the plants as well? im liking the tips from shrubs for sure and im def all about prevention first.

Exactly, PM is like herpes for plants. Once it is within the cells of the plant, there is no
gettin rid of it. Exactly why a systemic prevention, such as Azamax is key, because
it is already within the cells before the PM is. Thanks for the rep tho, always appreciated.
