well the test now starts , the mold test . this is what this whole project has been about !! finding those 3 strains more if i,m lucky , that hold up to the climate. its a monster here . but we have it good in lots of other ways .
spent 5 hours this morning , cutting lower pop corn branches off and staking , also removing some cola,s that have already be affected with mold .
there won't be many strains standing , that won't be affected . in some way . its mainly just losing a cola here and there . never whole plants . sometimes i cut wedge out of the crown, to allow for some moister release . depending on what i,m seeing .
so far the few strains that i,m crossing my fingers for that are doing fine , the black lime, pink lotus , apollo 13 others aren't at a stage yet i,m going to know . anyway won't get into too much depth . we,ll soon know who comes out trumps .
theres so many strains , what i will do at the end as pic,s are rolling out of each strain , and the getting there axe . i,ll rate it . i,m happy to share my findings . if it grows here it grows anywhere else even better
theres couple little special ones also , i think will surprise people , like the blowfish, lemon zinger, jungle spice few others . we haven't seen a lot of these strains yet . only random ones that have a bit of bud action going on . theres so many more in here .
oh all the testers i put in a month or so back , there ramping up too . my only regret i didn't keep more females when i had them . but i had room restrictions going on.most are 3 foot some even 5 foot . they are mountain temple f2 , summer breeze f2 and wish mountain yep f2 .
i,ve also got my soil test plants all in and sexed now .there will be pics of them next week , i,m just waiting for them to bush out a little , they have just been repotted last week and are getting there feet in . if your up to date the strains are , blue dog f2,moondawg f2 ,bay lotus f2, mountain temple f2 , the sauce f2, cujo cookies , you guessed it f2 . i,ll be running tests with and without fert , side by side . see what this new soil can and can't take .
so there,s still lots coming . i,m at the pointy end though there will also be some outdoor pics of buds at some stage again , mainly my white master kush x fire og. well and a few others strains .
i,ve said it before and i,ll say it again , we got a good bunch of guys following this thread , thanks for following and throwing your comments in . also theres a few behind the scenes that have never posted . thanks to all you

what kind of mold are you having trouble with? what are you using for air circulation?
I've got pm showing up at week 7 on 3 strains I wanted to take to 10 weeks...
here's Kevin discussing some of the genetics you are running in this video of Wonderland Nursery in Humbolt.
6 more nice videos of Wonderland or this youtube channel.

its botrytis, tonnes of air circulation . i have the horizontal fans , plus all the wind through the side . it go,s with the territory here . most nights are 80/90 % humidity . i know there are potassium bicarbonate products . i have tried them with not much success . we don't get the same products as the states . but its the base in the ones you use i think ? it does stop it spreading . does turn the hairs brown ( even mixed at lower rate ) i,m not down with that . i,d rather chop the bud out .
the spores (mold) are carried by wind and rain , funnily enough you gave me an idea . always a dangerous thing.
perhaps i can keep the sides down and up my own airflow ? that would illuminate the spores (most of them ) from blowing in . certainly worth some more thought . may be little late for this season but next .
any thoughts on this anyone . i,m wondering how much extra it would heat up with the sides down , easy enough to test though . that may be the only negative i can think off ,atm
the strain is the major factor here . i,ve been growing the same things for years (which still got rot ).this is why i,m looking for new strains (going back to a more old school suited strain, with twist ). i was losing my passion seeing the same thing over and over every year . even though there was some variation in the f2 . thats another reason why i don't do clones . i don't like seeing the same thing all the time . i like a surprise at the end .
to be honest its not a major issue , the loss is quiet minimal . however it pisses me off as its always the nicest cola,s that get it . the density,moisture of the bud and humidity is just the perfect breeding ground .
(i,ve never seen powdery mildew ever thank god )never want too ,

I would think if youre getting botrytis youll get it regardless, its the humidity, I know guys spray regalia to tackle this but as for an organic option (dont know if its organic) I do not know.

if i were to add it all up , its fuck all . we,d be talking half pound maybe all up at a stretch .
my motto is plant 3 times more than you think you,ll need . lol its served me well . always some sort of loses in this game with this climate . but i can lesson it with a couple of new strains .
outdoors i,ve seen some crushing stuff over the years . i can't even go into . enough to break a man . bit of but rot is nothing its nothing to get 700mm of rain in 3 days and 100+ km hour winds in bud seasons here . i was laughing some guy on here last season in the states saying he had half an inch and was worried about bud rot . lol water shortage would be a bitch on the other hand . but give me that over getting smashed any day .
i,m honestly thinking of buying a smaller fully sealed humidity controlled temp controlled gh . before i die i need to see at least one perfect crop
anyways don't know how i ended up on this path .
i,m off to buy camera today and a macro lens also , i know dick about this stuff but going to be fun playing with the new toy in couple days time

got a CANNON eds 7D , as said don't know much about camera,s . think it will do the job . though we won't get great macro pics atm , we need finished plants for those . but i,ll still have a play .
yeah mold bro , its the land we live .

Have you ever thought about looking into BRIX levels help a plant naturally fight PM and other Air born Disease.. Might be something to look into. You simple squeeze some juice out of a fan leaf and test on a simple refractometer. To see what your levels are. There is some helpful information in this thread but you can also google it as well. How Brix helps fight off PM naturally.

yep great read , its basically what i,m trying to do with this new soil mix,the soil guy here was saying to me , that the amendment levels i wanted were very high ect . i said just do it . i sent him 3 of the best analysis i could find from here of the coots mix. which basically after that read designed for by the looks . high brix.
the new soil is great , testing is in progress . we,ll know soon enough . i think it will get a tweek for sure when the analysis come back through . as in the link get those brix levels up.
certainly doing what i can
so guess who just ordered a refractometer to measure brix be good to see what brix some plants are running that get mold or not .

This is what you need for good macros first, a killer lens flash, then a good tripod, then a Great macro lens after you learn how it all works.
Without the proper light you can't get the good shots. Check professor Ps thread.
Canon MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite Flash for Canon Digital SLR Cameras.

now just cause theres a new camera, doesn't mean i,m a fucking photographer , OK lol
but only one way to learn and to play around .
@chunky thanks man , def need a tripod that other bit of kit ( the flash ) is a grand . not sure i,m ready for that commitment yet haha prob won't use a camera much other than this .

fuck that looks great in there you lucky bastard!
you will be happy with the stock lens and flash probably.
all my best pics are with the standard lens.
I bought the tripod and macro lens but can't get a decent shot through it without one of those flashes.
they are less than $600 US.
your greenhouse looks sick! how many weeks into flower are they?

[/IMG]be nice to compare in a week when new gears here . ones not so clear . first go though . not as easy as you think . lighting plays huge roll apparently. and more mature buds also will be good .
flowering times are all over the place , who knows when it will all end .

Is that columbian just one plant?
Im a sucker for purps, great pics beanz
Are you going to do a megasmoke report on all this or is it more a mold experiment with emphasis on the top 3?

yeah the columbian is one plant.
um no real plan at this stage . set in stone . with reports . but i rekon i,ll cover most of anything that is worthwhile smoke wise rate them . i have testers in place that are very seasoned . been my testers for years . so there fussy fuks. think there judging some cup the way they carry on .lol
yield and mold report on the good and the bad i guess . in some of the players.
