High praise indeed coming from you, Dutch. Yes, I am finding the genetics to be key. I'm not unaware of the fact that the errors & weaknesses I've had in my grow have been bolstered and weathered considerably b/c of the superiority inherent to the plants. Alas, the next week update I will have to confess to a rotten Co2 timer causing a chain reaction of inability to handle the higher temperatures which lead to a case of classic heat stress in my lovely C99 x BB 'bravo' especially. Mercifully I have a new timer - the old one had a mechanical error - I will be showing pictures of the damage done after two, possibly three days of higher temperatures at canopy level (around 90) without Co2. At first I thought it was brown algae (which is actually a misnomer; it is a cyanobacteria - an organism previously classified as algae b/c they shared similarities in food uptake, but cyanobacteria are prokaryotic cells as opposed to other forms of algae which are eukaryotic hence the re-classification. I wonder why they are called [I]cyano[I]bacteria. Are they blue? Anyway, back to the grow: I do believe I had a tad case of the slime, as it is also called, but I think I managed to beat it back with Hygrozyme and FloraShield and it has been contained. I think I got to it early and it was only really effecting the plants in units 1 & 2 - all those pictures of damaged leaves & such.
