Soil mix running bit dry on you Bootz! Love those winter colours hey, that Magenta plant is just gorgeousness x 5. The Chunk f2 steal the show though. Phenomanol looking garden, as we would expect from you. So you mentioned mildew issue's. I hope your still growing organic. Here's something I found, I had issues almost every grow with mildew. Unphased by it now.... Enter lactobacillus a pro biotic, strengthens the food web in your soil big time!!!!!!! I now swear by it in all stages of the plants life as a feed & also very, very effective combined as a foliar feed. It's cheap fully organic and you make it yourself to!

https://gilcarandang.com/recipes/lactobacillus-serum/ - Don't only look at the lactro serum.
Here are a few other recipes found on above link.

Homemade Fish Fertilizer
Beneficial Indigenous Microorganisms(BIM)
Calcium Phosphate (CalPhos)
Grow Fertilizer
Bloom Fertilizer
Immuboost
Ginger-Garlic Extract (It boosts the immune system and helps fight insect and fungal pests)
Neem Extract

Here is something you can mix and use instantly, I found this method but have not tried it myself, it is appliead as a foilar feed:

Mild PM
1 part Fat Free Milk
9 Parts dechorionated water
1 Drop Dishwashing liquid

Bad PM
Take 500ml fat free milk and soak 50 g of rice in it for 3 days
Take the rice and milk mix and strain it
Use 1 part milk rice mix
9 parts dechlorinated water

I hope either are suitable for your garden, give it a go (would love see results)

Hi bh4vn35h, Thanks for the advice !

I am still growing organically for sure. To combat the fungus i am using Margaret Roberts organic fungicide and the active ingredient is activated vitamin C. This works by creating an environment on the leaf surfaces that is inhospitable for the fungal growth (too dry and wrong pH). But it does not kill the mildew directly. This product is safe to use on edibles 24 hours before harvest so I think there is nothing too bad in there.

I am fine with harvesting a plant with a few spots on the leaves but if it gets any where close to the bud it goes in the compost pile.

I will look into using lacto mix in my next soil. I have cultivated it once and used it on the compost pile, it seemed to accelerate decomposition quite a lot.

Its quite sad to see perfect plants get knocked by all sorts of things like bugs disease fungus heavy wind rain hail etc as they mature. But its all part of growing outdoors in my opinion. All i can do is minimize the damage.

Will get into reading that website tonight

nice! looks like you found a good male in those seeds! It has similar flower structure to the chunk F1 male that I pollinated all my fems with. What does it smell like on a stem rub?

[bh4vn35h]

I took him down after he did his job, is there any places amongst the slothiness for you to run a few? Do it!

[oldbootz]

5x SSH (mr nice)
