@Niala please understand I wasnāt being short with you yesterday, and your information was greatly appreciated
I had planned on starting the burn as soon as I noticed any trace on a leaf. I also knew that there would be another issue with leaf spot fungus, so I pretty much timed it dead-on
As @FloridaSon mentioned I had quite a bout with it over the summer but what I never mentioned was I actually pulled up carpet in two of the three rooms adjacent to the grow room to try to make a more easily sanitized area, and I went to other great and Extreme Measures to try to deal with brown leaf spot and what I found is the following:
Neem oil may slow it down but will ruin your bud in flowering, donāt use it past 1 month, so overall itās pretty ineffective
baking soda will slow it down quickly and I noticed no ill effects using it during flowering, so somewhat effective overall, but spraying plants may cause other issues
increased ventilation helps everything including leaf spot fungus
I didnāt try milk because nothing else seemed to be working and I had kind of given up by that point
the sulfur burner stopped it instantly
ā¦and even though I had already given up on the final crop I was gifted with my finest bud yet from it, white and bursting with crystals even better than the previous Harvest, even though I harvested only 1/3 - 1/2 the yield as the previous healthy Harvest, due to all the Leaf Drop
The reason I didnāt go right to the sulfur burner When @Donaldj recommended it was that I have respiratory issues and I wanted to exhaust other Avenues of control
So my conclusion, and just my opinion, nothing works except sulfur burning.
I recommend Growers save their time, money and crop, if youāve got lsf, powdery mildew and probably other things as well youāre not going to control it successfully, just burn sulfur
@Paranorman@Matthew420 looks like I went to sleep about the time you posted it. Not sure if that is a good thing or not. My new as yet un-germinated seed has a name. Sheās 2017-1. I just call her 1 for short. At least for now, anyway.
ā¦very cool! Personally, myself I wouldnāt consider a number as a name, in fact the name I ascribed is more of a description but itās too close to the line! (and Iām not willing to step over it! )
So glad I checked before lights-out noticed some mild heat stress on one plants top leaves basically these plants are growing quicker than I can raise the light LOL
I havenāt even increase the light to 600-watt yet which I will do when I put the clones into flower tent this weekend plants are doing all this growth under just 400 watts
I expect explosive growth from this new batch of clones that are already 16-17 inches tall, very bushy, there will be no slowing these down!
The Bulks have been flowering for 24 days, incredible!
KABOOM ZZZZZ Huh??? what the heck was that? Oh just @Paranorman and his plants lifting the roof off his house. Holy Crap, Batman You got enough room to keep those babies penned in?
I know right I canāt believe that I got a little bit of leaf burn from it so fast!? well not burn but the serrated edges curl up and theyāre going to turn brown eventually ( heat stress was the term I was searching for ā¦most likely )
First there was no stretch at all, and now Iām raising it an inch a day ! (which apparently wasnāt enough)
This is good though (kinda ) because now Iām deciding which plant I want to start taking my all clones from in the future, fastest growth, the way it grows and its resistance ect., so that one is already out, cuz thatās the one that showed the first LSF as well
@Paranorman,is that the incredible bulk that went Down the same time as mine?
If so it just goes to show how mu h quicker it is growing under lightās,. Although yours looks like an auto ,where mine is not ,but boy is there a dif between size of auto to reg even though mine is feminized.
