It almost forms part of "popular knowledge" amongst countrymen here...

Lime is/was so widely used here it forms part of the Picture, specially Southern Spain and Mediterranean towns... not speaking about typical lime-painted village houses only, trees actually get their trunks painted in (slaked) lime in autumn, as a preventive for all sort of diseases that hide in the bark, specially citrics, which are widely used as ornamental trees on streets (lovely aroma in flower). Ants also don't seem to like to climb over lime, so indirectly it prevent aphids too.

A picture is worthier than a thousand words: Patio de los Naranjos in Seville (Orange trees Patio, typical tourist visit place on Iglesia del Salvador)

Oranges are not edible, really sour... most get exported to the UK to make sour orange marmalade :biggrin:

The inside of our barn was whitewashed (limed) every couple years. From dirty, to spic and span clean and zero bugs. (My horse barn was painted with creosote to kill everything and stop the horses from chewing)

(not ours but you get the idea)

I used to have a neighbor that would paint the trees with lime like repuk shows in his picture.

I asked them about it once and they said it was for insect control but was also done on military bases they worked at in the U.S. as a way to “dress up” or formalize the look of the place.

Apparently it was something done when higher officials visited

My grandfather used to have me to whitewash(lime) the bottom 3-4ft of his bigger trees behind his house. When I was a kid I'd do that every spring and fall. A lot of people to things like this in the south especially. Also a lot of folks throw lime under there house. Where there damp and wet people throw it down, and in basements.

We used creosote for wooden traps in years back

Neat stuff about the lime and sulfur. I'd be careful because it can mess with PH in large amounts and maybe cause burn but it has nutrients plants need besides being a fungicide.
Green Cure is just a brand name, the active ingredient is Potassium bicarbonate. It's cleared for organic growing I'm sure in Canada or other countries there's other brands or forms you can but it in.
Baking soda is Sodium Bicarbonate similar chemically but Potassium Bicarbonate is a bit more efficient at spore killing. Many forms of lime are Calcium Carbonate. All these chemicals have a high PH which the fungus doesn't like. Plus they contain nutrients your plant needs. Lime usually has quite a bit of magnesium in it I see this stuff as important if not essential to cannabis farmers in humid climates.

Calcic Polysulfur is usually applied at 3-5% for tomatoes, which should match Cannabis, that's why I advised 20-30ml per liter.

If Baumè grade is unknown, start with 20ml/L...

Even inducing premature ageing on cucurbitaceae, it has been applied with great results at 1% on watermelons for example, concentration has a role on phytotoxicity.

I believe bicarbonates are used against Grey Mold, Mildiu and Oidium as a more aggressive treatment, i.e. once you spot mold patches etc.

I was out at the garden last night and the full moon was awesome. Normally I do what I have to do and get out quick, but I stuck around for a minute to hang out with the plants in the moonlight. A very magical experience.

Thanks.

They're seeds I got from my Northern Lights last year. They're looking an awful lot Sativish. I'm wondering if the Sativa in them can jump out like that. And it's not one plant, it's 99% of them. I was told NL are almost pure Indica. I'm confused.

I did expose them to a heavy magnetic field for 30 days. Maybe that did it??

Could the Ruderalis genes that are in there be contributing to the skinnier leaves? Also, if they possibly are from neighboring pollen wouldn't that pollen have to be from an auto since photoperiod genetics are dominant and the plant shown is an auto? Maybe you have neighbors growing Sativa based autos.

I'm pretty rural and remote, but I do have a neighbor about 1/2 mile from me that I think is growing. I found out with Google Earth. lol

I'm taking it you had no herms? Any hemp fields in the area? You're probably right about your neighbors plants, judging by the size of that plot it looks like he knows what he is doing. Kind of surprising he would let that much pollen loose. I imagine his own girls would be totally seeded out if it reached you at a distance.
