So, mold is caused by a fungus? I didn't know that.

Thanks Silverback, I use megagro products but I have never thought to use the greencure. The mychorrizal fungi, soil syrup, and aquarock (with the vacationing watering kit) is a must have but I had a different question. Have you used any of the other products like the megagro spray on any of your crops Silverback? I was wondering because the person who grew the world's largest pumpkin used megagro products. I was skeptical to use it, cuz it is a weak form of gibberic acid. But I also heard that very small doses of gibberic acid helps with growth. I was wondering if you had any feedback on this product

Mold is what we refer to unknown mycelium stage fungus as lol, at least I do.

I just got a product called "infuse" made by bonide, says it is a "systemic disease controll" compound absorbed into plant tissue and keeps mold at bay for up to 4 weeks which sounds perfect for the end of the season when it gets dank and wet here in many many parts of NE..

Active ingredient is 1.55% Propiconazole

Excellent thread bro!! I've had mold problems over the last few years, especially after I started planting in a particular bottom area. Not only does the morning dew collect heavier there but the soil is very sandy and the soil holds a shitload of moisture. I dig down 6" and the water starts filling the hole I dug. For this reason I have to grow in 20 gallon storage totes. It's a lot of work but this area receives a lot of sun from about 11am to 6pm or so. From what I can tell the mold is coming from caterpillars that eat into my buds and their excrement is the catalyst in creating the mold. Dipel has solved my caterpillar problem but I still get mold from rain and I guess, dew. I'm glad to know there are products out there that we can use. Again, thanks for the thread my friend. I'm going to put this info to good use and hopefully save some yield this year. Peace.

By the way, I grow from all Fem seeds. I see The Church strain says very mold resistant. What experiences, if any, have you guys had with mold resistant strains? I grew several Grapefruit year before last and they seemed to be prone to mold. Needless to say I'm a commercial grower and quality AND quantity are important.

Hey tokinjoe, I have a couple of spots I plant in just as the one you described. Great location, just wet. Greencure, applied 2-3 weeks into flowering will do it for most strains, ( its really better used as a preventitive measure. For a strain that gets it bad like the grapefruit you mention, Ill apply another application about 5-6 weeks in. Works every time. You can grow big bud in the shower with the stuff.
Just in the last year I have started going with femmed seeds as well so Im in a learning curve on them myself. My first observation is that there arent many good femmed outdoor strains of the indica persuasion, which is me.

Deft, Im a big believer in helpful chemicals and your product sounds interesting. I would use some caution with any product labeled as "systemic" as it is absorbed and replicated in the plant tissue. That can be harmless but it can also be deadly. Be careful man.

Hey daffy, I havent tried their other products and honestly havent' looked. Maybe I should! I grew up on a farm and we used the green cure for tobacco seedlings and blackberry plants so I was familiar with it.

Oops, I spelled gibberellic acid wrong earlier.... sorry. Silverback, I take it that you highly recommend the green cure... SOLD...but I have a question. Do you think the Green Cure would kill the mychorrizal fungi inoculates in the soil?

03-18-2008, 07:08 AM

Yeah, do you think that Green Cure would kill the Mychorrizal Fungi? I know green cure sounds great and all, but the mychorrizal works wonders also. Has anyone tried the 2 together?
