Sure sounds like it. Given that buddy PayPal him the funds, right? Was this a dd or something u bought thru website. I suppose I could understand if he just didn't have his inventory lined up or whatever. Still should have taken the 30 second and responded to him. Or better yet when tnf saw guy paid for something he didn't have... Reach out to him
If someone pays instantly via electronic payments waiting 2 weeks to ship out is total unacceptable. Especially $190 order.
Ok that's messed up. My bad. :: Steps off high-horse ::
Serious question. No disrespect intended. Im soon starting my first grow. Im trying learn. I thought powdery mildew was result of grower not seeds. I mean like tomatoes. A cultivar might be more susceptible but still my fault as grower if my plant has a problem. Am wrong in this thinking. Is growing weed different.
I think you kind of answered your own question. Pm isn't coming from the seeds but "a cultivar might be more susceptible" is the theory. If the same strain is a pm magnets in separate locations/environments then you could start to infer the "cultivar might be more susceptible" in some ways due to no "fault" of the grower.
From what I’ve gathered, powdery mildew is a fungus and can infect a plant and lie dormant until the right environment causes it to bloom. Not sure what would cause the plant to be more susceptable, maybe leaf surface or genetic predisposition but I do know a lot comes down to humidity, air flow and temperature, and if it’s around and your plants are in the wrong environment, it will take over. Honestly, it doesn’t even matter if your temps are cranked up to the 90s, your humidity just better be up in the 80% range(sounds crazy, right?!)!! Temp’s in the 60’s, drop that humidity down so they can breathe. As long as that plant is able to transpire and you do some preventatives, PM should be nearly nonexistent. Here’s a VPN chart that covers the range of temp vs humidity for optimum plants. Makes sense why sometimes the fall plants that get rained on tend to do fine all the way thru finish. https://www.perfectgrower.com/knowledge/knowledge-base/vpd-chart-vapor-pressure-deficit/
i have found it to be a combo of both the genetics and the grower. but the old strains from the 80's and 90's NEVER HAD PM, EVER. I never even knew about it till the past few years. but those genetics were from OUTDOOR plants brought inside for the first time, not grown in closets for 20 years. i have a few strains that are hybrids of new and old with zero PM and I've had a few newer strains that i ran at 72-75 degrees with 35% humidity (after having higher humidity like 50-60%)that i eventually gave up because of the PM (while some others had no PM), some dudes might like spraying stuff all over them, but i would rather have strains that don't get PM
Hey man it's weird to read because I just noticed the smallest amount of pm on my 2020 stuff from tnf. But also this time of year with it being cold out my area gets pretty chilly possibly low 60s to high 50s and can sometimes hit low 80s when appollo drags the sun out of the outlet humidity does quite the dance herself. I was always of the school of thought to not have large spreads of humidity and temp for an indoor set up from lights on and off. I personally am 100% sure it is my environment but wanted to share all the same. This is the first bit of pm I have ever seen in my garden, and I have been growing his gear since 2018. I really think you should double check your environment and some pm threads to double check yourself.
hey hey, i guess I didn't explain it right, I'm not a newbie to the game. I know how to deal with modern strains when it comes to the environment. What i was hoping for with the old genetics was way less problems, especially PM. The OLD genetics i ran years ago never had PM, never had to spray for PM. they were genetics from around the world, USA from "the south", cali, BC, Missouri, even ran some real aphgani and thai and hawaiian, even some Dutch.... indoor and out. Some of the southern stuff (skunk) i would grow until it snowed out with no probs no PM.
I believe there are killer strains of PM floating around now that weren't around back in the day.
He did claim he doesn’t have the roadkill. But I wonder if harvest window has something to do with where the skunk really comes thru in the cured flower. The dogwalker has a pretty big harvest window, but there’s only a small window when you wanna pull it and get that pure skunk out of it. Maybe if you ran a room of that skunky one, and pulled in succession, maybe you could find where that skunk is. But I feel you, sometimes it’s there, and you just know it’s skunk, and then harvest and no skunk. I’m gonna pop his 2020 uncle fester skunkbud selection and see how those turn out. skunk or not, all of tnf’s stuff has been super happy, stoney as a dabby duck. cuts thru and settles in when the other strains aren’t working.
Hey i grew the real deal over 20+years ago, i had about 5 diff SKUNK varieties from diff places. my main one that was from "down south" stunk from miles away (outdoor) and almost as bad indoor (ionizers was the only way, no super close neighbors etc)
i always remember drying whole plants (like the dudes did that i got seeds from) i dried for a week then cut long colas, left the big stem where it was kinda moist, and cured for months to bring the skunk back.......i maybe burped for a week at the most then just left in a bag to cure
hey man! the way i used to do it: was cut whole plant, hang upside down to dry usually 7 days, then cut the long buds/colas and put in gallon ziploc bags, maybe open them once a day for a minute for the first week then i just left them alone.... that was it. The hardest part is not smoking it for 3-6 months.
