:beatdeadhorse::beatdeadhorse::beatdeadhorse::beat deadhorse::beatdeadhorse::beatdeadhorse::beatdeadh orse::beatdeadhorse::beatdeadhorse:MAN WE FEEL FOR YA...
AS YA SEE IN MY ABOVE BLOGS IVE DONE EVERYTHING I CAN FIND IN THE BOOKS BUT ONE !
WEVE ADDED A OZONE GENERATOR TO (KILL MOLD) AND ITS SPORES

SO TO FIGHT AND WIN THIS WAR .......WEVE HAD TO ...

1.. PICK OUT ALL MOLD OFF THE PLANTS AND OR REMOVE THE BRANCH THATS INFECTED...IF YA PICK OR CUT USE A SPRAY FUNGICIDE ALSO TO KILL SPORES (SULPHER) & (PEROXIDE)WORKED BEST IN OUR TESTS ON GREY MOLD. AND CHECK EVERY DAY FOR MORE TO CATCH IT EARLY IF YA CAN.
THIS IS WHAT IVE LEARNED ON A FEW WEEKS FINDING ROT ALSO AND HITTING THE NET FOR SALVATION....LOL

2.. LOTS OF FANS ON EVERY BUD.

3..LOWER HUMIDITY OF GIVE UP NOW.

4..OZONE GENERATORS (USE AS DIRECTED) OR MAKE YOUR OWN WITH OLD NEON SIGN.

5.. WE ALSO ARE SPRAYING THE PLANTS JUST AS THEY START TO FLOWER WITH A FUNGICIDE . NOT WHEN THE BUDS ARE FORMED UNLESS YA NEED TO SPRAY A ROTTING BUD OR SPOT SPRAY.

AFTER ALL THAT THE WOOD STOVE AND OZONE HELPED US THE MOST.
HAPPY TRAILS

I am tol baking soada works well in the late stages of flowering to combat bud rot(botyrytis). Is this true? if so what would be the best way to administer? as a deterent??? or as a treatment???

[Weedhound]

I diislike the baking soda solution, having tried it and not getting even decent results imo. It is supposed to change the ph of the leaf (used diluuted as a spray) to somethimg ike 9 which PM isn't crazy about. I use Serenade once a week with lights off and use a dehumidifier to control my rh. Also....good care willl lead to a healthy plant which can fight off funguses and disease. I love growing indoors as I love to control everything.
PS....The sodium in baking soda probably isn't great for plants either....guess.

PSS Cute pup.

You're right Weedhound, good care is the best preventative measure. Each year outdoors I usually find at least one spot of bud rot. I just remove the infected area and dry it out real good.

Also, feeding (foliar and soil) with a compost tea really helps them to build up a resistance to disease. This may not be the best choice for indoor growing but outdoors, you can saturate everything with the tea and they love it.

hey much appreciated weed hound:thumbsup:
I have decided to not spray and i am going to just continue cutting out any areas of botrytis that i find. Hopefully i can manage this way. We have had rain for the last few days and it is suppose 2 continue 4 like another 7 or 8. Not making things easy...but just how it goes i guess. Thanks for the insight.

sulfer burners are usually used to keep bugs away but they also work well with mold,as long as its not gotten way out of controll but it works as a good preventative,every one told me back in the day that it wouldnt work,then i spoke with one of the masters and he told me whats up.i always had high humidity in my old town and ran into a lot of trouble,gave a burner a try on my next grow before any mold even had a chance to develop and never had a problem again.



---some body mentioned that a ozone generator prevents mold? please explain,im interested.from waht i understand the bulb catches odor molecules and then burns them off generating o3 wich will turn into co2 if left alone in a sealed room.for the record i must say any one is is as paranoid as i am should invest in one. i have the c.a.p model and its the shit.

[Weedhound]

Guys I don't know ANYTHING about either using sulfer or ozone; haven tried either one.
Perhaps someone more knowledable can chime in with some info?

6 weeks into flower have 6 plant 4-5 mo noticed 2 of them with rot humidity is 60-83 according to the meter but i am not sure how i can lower it gets so humid on Oregon Coast. my i cannot really plug in anything more thant my 3 600s without the breaker going..

i do have a bottle of serenade i got for PM but have not been using it.

should i just turn off 1 of the lights and purchase a dehumi?

this is my first grow and it is Medical.

i have not taken them off yet not sure to cut the branch below the infection or just clip the buds or just to tear pieces off what works best i think i still have 2 weeks to go for the infected ones others may be longer strains.
