Thanks for the advice on the pm. We have Sulphur burners and regularly spray with beneficial teas. And I will take blame for having PM at various times in the last 4 years. And I would be a liar to day that I've never seen PM.
Some strains are very succeptable like the Romulan...where others are very resisitant. Now...we all can do things to prevent it and/or control it. You wouldn't believe how many stories I hear about people seeing it at week 6 or so and not knowing how to treat it just let it go...
We can all agree there is a difference between picking up a cut and noticing PM on the stalk or lightly on the leaves-which I will admit I've been guilty of doing. But that's a huge difference than someone getting a cut from me and vegging for 3-4 weeks and then seeing PM at week 4 or so...
So I will take my blame, but the best thing is prevention. Then when you do see it treat it right away. There is not excuse for guys saying they lost an entire garden to PM which is fully treatable. I'd take PM any day of the week than an outbreak of SPIDER MITES!
Ps-another great product is Eagle 20. Oh...and I'm APE.
So don't flame me...just want to own up to our mistakes but also even out the discussion a lil bit.
Ape knew that was you, but.....
anyway's got some things that came through you, very little trouble w/ pm 'cept one and as far as i know it could have been my error. just so you know i had at least 4-5 things on your list. what ever reason we never met no worries just wanted to chime in and say wat up and thanks. the bro who gave me the gear knows i am greatful as well =). oh yeah and i was not concerned about it too much in the first place. see shans quote below.
I just have to third this, because I think it's a serious issue. I also brought home some nice PM from the Chem Ds I got from PNC. I've worked with ape a couple of times in the last few years and everytime his stuff comes with PM. Be aware..you bringing stuff from PNC, it most likely has PM, so treat it. Only thing works for me is Zone/Penetrator and that takes several applications.
I'm glad to have access to the genetics, but the PM will infest your whole garden.
well you got the stuff i'da told ya about foilar as well w/ penetrator
what up ape?! long time no see round these parts! good to have you back...you know ive done my fair share of bitchin when your over at the pad....and everyone here has a right to say what they are saying....but just so you dont feel alienation from a city of growers you have done so much for, how bout we drop the pm thing for one minute,(and just one minute, as i have to go home and burn sulfur!haha) cuz its been a looooong time since i, or anyone else on this thread has expressed how thankful we all are for you holding this shit down the last few years. THANKS MY BROTHA! now, get your ass back in your mom room and get rid of that infernal, insidious powdery/downey mildew!!!!!!
---and no, im not doggin anyone out for calling it out, believe me, ive done more then my share of cussin....and i think everyone here is being respectful w thier complaints...but i remember growing(allegedly) back in the day when everyone had ONE cut they grew, and since noone knew who was growing, that was all you had...so thanks again man....sub
sub- you know i was happy to see those genetics w/ or w/ out pm going to try a couple of things i see here and do closed off comparison. zone is what i knew of.....we'll see how others fare. going your route tho and going to make seeds of my own and grow up from there to at least a partial degree.
Whenever I bring home a new cut, I think of it like I just brought home a new girl from the bar...I assume she's dirty, and I protect myself accordingly...whenever you start dating, you quarantine her from the other parts of your life you've got going, don't you?
true that Shan.
OHGEE
