November I went out and got legal. This long season I will be for the first time be able to sky them and not worry about Green Harvest. Those will be in the ground thus immobile. Right now I am torn between planting the new crop at an angle and tying it down so I can cover at night (but they will be closer to the damp ground) or not topping them at all and let them get tall.
Aloha from da Beeg Guy's Land!

I have a strain that attracts powdery mildew.
Had a girl in da weed kennel and noticed that the infection starts at the bottom and moves up the plant.
Makes sense, coolair come down from da mountain.
It comes from a wetter place and it hugs the ground.
So put that strain up on the lanai.
'Bout 8' off the ground.
That didn't stop it completely, but it gets around 10% of what the grounded gals had.

Don't prove nothin.
I still see PM on coconut palms 40' off the ground.
But it did seem to help.
I say let 'em get tall, and give them lots of breeze.

It's very strain related.
I bred for indoor girls and got a led loving fat-bud strain that I can't grow outdoors.
She seems to have lost all natural resistance to PM.

I have two other strains that never get PM.
Sativa doms do well from my very small sample test.
Thai weed seems to be immune.

I'll keep ratting about ovah heah and see what other conclusion I can take a flying leap at.
