I will second that.
Thanks bobble
Not much new to take pictures of, just drying/trimming right now. All the plants have been chopped

curiousbwhat your favorite bodhi strains were.....and which were less suspectable to pm? any comments u have time for regarding seed plants from bodhi would be appreciated. happy harvest

Such a winner of a strain
10+lbs plants, absolutely no pm or mold, even in a garden with affected plants. Unlimited stretch. Super frosty , potent, and great lemony OG funk, mid october finish.
Just dont buy all the seeds before i get more haha.
The Solo's Stash also came out great, amazing berry/kush flavor, huge plants, only 1 out of 3 had any PM.
What dos and doesn't get pm or mold doesn't hav to do with genetics , but overall plant health.

That ones hard to believe. Sure a totally fucked up plant is going to be worse off for mold or bugs but nothing to do with genetics?
you say that like its a fact, but there are folks who believe certain genetic lines can produce plants which have these characteristics. Unfortunately i am too dumb to know who is right, so the first person to direct me to a peer-reviewed study on the issue, wins.
At this point we are growing hybrid drug varietals , many of similar genetic origin , so yes , I'd discount genetics as a factor when considering disease resistance, especially since few to no breeders use populations large or data logging thorough enough to really track disease resistance in cannabis individuals ... Pm and bud rot are purely results of plant health.
The notion of one plant being more ' resistant ' than another are usually th field observation of a clandestine grower viewin relatively small population numbers ...
Please just do research on the pectate layer of the plants leaves , you'll find out about the mechanisms in which pm and mold use to take hold inside the plant...
Mostly by trying to penetrate that layer of tissue with their spore ...when thick enough they can't and the spore dies on the leaf surface.
Springer link is great money spent,

BYF is right. Genetics do play a role, but I believe plant health has 90+% to do with it. Here is an amazing lecture (2 hours)that everybody should listen to, commercial farmers, backyard farmers, chemical or organic. Eye opening.

This is new stuff, cutting edge. However in the video it talks about how the introduction of Round Up around 2000 started the death of soil across America and the world. Farmers are reporting 50% drops in production due to mold and bug issues around 14-16 years (depending of the soil type) after applying certain chemical fertilizer/fungicide. In other words, this is cutting edge (even though nature has been doing since the beginning of time) however the rest of the world will soon find out that this may be the only sustainable future for farming.
Which one is it? BYF said genetics play no role. You appear to support his point while contradicting it.

How come I went through those conditions in my field this year, and have none then?
I would think that plants could evolve to produce a thinner pectate layer, particularly if bred indoors, or a thicker pectate layer if bred in more harsh conditions where the survivors are more likely to be the ones with the thicker pectate layer.
