Hi everyone~
In response to your inquiry, the reason I harvested so early was because the middle main branch of the plant did her own thing, while the rest of the plant has just started to flower now (July). I think the reason the inner branch went first is because I had bent down the sides for a more discrete garden - but left the main middle branch upright. We had several days of fog - beach fog - and 1/3 of the plant (the upright middle branch) went into full flower. 75% red hairs and I harvested.
Weird.

Heres the new problem, or the continuing old problem...
I think it is boytritus.
It forms at the branch node - grey and fuzzy and goes INTO the stem.
My previous experience with B is actually ON the almost ready buds in '07; I identified it as Boytritus because of the telltale wee bud leaves suddenly drying up and alerting me - as I dug into the '07 bud, it was slimey - so I rid the garden of the diseased part of the plant and was able to save most of her.
This '08 the blight seems to focus on the stems/nodes.
I have used Seranade and Neem and though it has slowed the blight, I have now found it on the branch node of another plant.

Can I use either Seranade or Neem systemically in the water for the plants in question? Or SM90 in the water? Or...?
Topical isnt killing it though I must say again - it sure as heck as s-l-o-w-e-d it.
We have fog here - blistering hot in the day - FOG at night.

Last question - I have a plant I thought was Indica - really really realllllllly bushy - thick leaves and mostly 3 leaves on each plant hand as opposed to 5, like nothing I have seen before. Someone told me the 3 leaves are due to the plant focusing on flowering. Now the plant is producing 1 to 3 new leaves each hand. AND it is so dang bushy that inner core leaves are keeling over dead, soft and easy to pull from the main stems and wilty yellow or brown.
This plant, from a seed, has been flirting with flowering since early June. She's smelly, and now looks like she is really gonna flower, but the leaves dropping away in all areas of the plant is freaking me out. All her leaves are kinda dull, dry and not very vibrant. I do regular leaching ( about every 3 weeks due to our way salty hard water), have been using a good seaweed and fish emulsion mix - with periodic chicken poo shakes. Now that she is lookinig kinda hairy and fuzzy with thc I have switched to bat guano milk shake. I did a course of Miracle Grow to see if she perked up and she did - but is still dropping leaves. I have also leached and just let her alone thinking I did too much of something - but same results...
Any ideas, o ones-that-know-way-more-about-this-than-I-do?
THANK YOU~
