Thanks!
I'm a young guy too bro!Smoking since -93
We got plenty of afgani plants here before.. hindu kush northernlight garlic bud etc.. alot of indicas. Old skool effect and taste what I call them..
ha ha... I'm not insinuating you're old... I agree that the "old school" strains seem to be more unique in their high and taste... I'm actually getting away from all these hybrids, and trying to get find some nice "old school" strains to work with. Too many peeps out there "breeding" with poly-hybrids... When I made poly-hybrids I called it pollen chucking... Anyway, that's breeder politics...
Sorry to hear about your PM problems. Other than that though things look pretty damn green around here. Keep up the hard work buddy

Thanks for stopping by! Good to see another MI grower.
pollen... lol... yeah, pollen is yellow, PM is bright white! Can't miss it... lol
Thanks for the positive comments. As far as the plants are concerned, everyone tells me to buy Eagle 20 or use a sulfur burner... As soon as I noticed the PM, I cut all the plants down. No need to risk ruining a crop at 9.5 weeks... These things can get out of control with a quickness.
Before I do any fresh runs in the tent, I'm going to sanitize it from top to bottom. I was going to use a 25% solution of H2O2, b/c I learned in microbiology that a 25% solution is sporicidal... However I've been warned by CLS that the H2O2 could ruin my tent fabric... So I guess I'm going to go with a 10% bleach solution. I really hate using bleach though.
IMO, prevention is the best treatment. I don't normally have bug problems in flower, b/c I don't have them in veg. I feed my plants NEEM normally every 3 weeks as a preventative measure. Right now it's so cold I don't have to worry about bugs. As far as preventing mold/mildew/fungus... I have lots of airflow. 440cfm exhaust with a 170cfm intake in a 9.5x4.5x6.5 tent... 3 circulating fans... I could use 4. I've never had a problem, until recent, b/c of water trapped under the plastic.
From what i noticed, the PM grows mostly where the trichomes aren't. The buds look untouched. Maybe I just caught it early enough?
You MAT x Chem beans are crazy man. I've never had such good luck with a 5 pack of seeds! I've smoked the Menage pheno. Very tasty, fairly potent... If I had let her run longer I bet it could be some knock-out weed. Great bag appeal. There isn't a spot that isn't covered in trichomes. Oh, and get this... you know how you told me that you've had plants you thought were boys end up as girls? yeah... I put a third plant I thought was a boy in the male tub... It's a girl... So she's vegging back out now... lol
What's next you ask?
Well, my list is full of patients, and I need more space to provide for them! I'll be renting another location in the coming weeks after I've gathered everything else I need. I was hoping to be a little further along by now, but Rome wasn't built overnight... I'm going to do coliseum stacks with 3 600w lamps. Several 1800w pods, or at least 2 to start off... I've read enough posts from DHF that I'm convinced this is the route I want to go. I'm vegging out ChemD, StrawDD, SFV x ChemD for moms... I'll pick out a few more moms as I go. I'll be running shelves of 1 plant, so they can be on the same reservoir, get harvested at the same time, etc... Now it's time to grow.
