not dilution. agitation.
If you agitate properly during application, there should be no problem with Potassium Bicarb. Good contact killer. I have used it this season on some test plants and, with proper agitation, nothing to be afraid of. Cheap, too.
I just used Oxidate and it seems to have stopped the spread. I sprayed one plant globally and then spots on other plants where some early PM was apparent. The spread seems to have stopped.
I am going to look into that Actinovate. Sounds interesting but it doesn't say what the active ingredients are. Thanks for the post, Fill.
Humboldtlocal: sick shots. Trying to go 2 in a row on POTM?
JDKronyk: Tell it like it is. But make sure you keep that grammar in line.
Interesting posts on PM.

brother ganja,
anything in the cuke family, pumpkins, squash, whathaveyou are pm magnets. i just cant see myself taking the risk planting something like pumkins, even though im sure the same calcium treatment ala Tom could do the same for veggies. those big fuzzy leaves just look way too apetizing a medium for pm.

Yea, it is true if you have limited space. I am manifesting a new piece of sacred land for next year, it will be large enough that I can separate my veggies from the medicinal crop. Also if you grow your plants in full sun you shouldn't have to much problem with PM but shit happens it's all a learning process. Very nice info JD on PM, didn't mean to be snappy, I apologize as well. We are apart of the this community and can learn from one another. No PM here on any cannabis, good luck all with that shit.

You should look for someone who will watch your spot while you are gone. I think that is the way that most of the large growers on this site do things.

I've considered the idea, and it seems like it would be the way to go if I could figure it out, but I'm not sure how to go about finding someone to do it. Maybe some of the big boys will chime in about how they acquired their sherpas...
The patients for whom I'd be growing and the few people I know I could trust with the responsibility have too much going on in their own lives to spend their whole summers/falls babysitting a patch.
Good advice, nevertheless. A constant presence in the garden is probably the only way I could make it work, given my neighbor situation, which just isn't a problem that can be fixed with automation, like, say, irrigation...

thanks t.g. ,& fill, thanks and no worries bro.ganja.... hey onetime lookin good bra!
you are correct simos, that is how many of us do it for sure. not all, but if you cant be there it helps to find a good patch monkey. it can be hard though. and pay definitely depends on experience...lol
maybe one of your relatives has a bro, sis , in law ,nephew ,or niece fresh outta school. young can have an issue with maturity, but it can work out pretty good.
or possibly someone who is already retired in you or your patients extended fam? the older scene brings alot of maturity and patience.
either way you should be there for all the work and try to leave a reasonable list of stuff to work on while you are away. but you must (imo) be present for the planting, feeding(tank mixing), harvesting , and so on.
and regardless your caregiver should be scripted, and watering should be done on a schedule.they should get just compensation for their time as well.
truly its a hard pick, but its the only/right way to actually do it if you have neighbor issues and cant be there 24/7.and not everybody will work out. many of the folks who have "patch monkeys" actually have a very ongoing long term relationship with them, for instance in my case my caregiver and i have been doin this for over 15yrs each and six of those are together. thats how i can tust him...lol(im still there for over 2/3 of the season, and all the hard work)
and trust is the only issue really.every different person will bring different qualities to the table.as long as you can trust them and they water on the schedule you set, and most important in your case, they cant associate with your neighbors. thats what you are lookin for.
no grumps, no tweakers, and no theives. look within your circle for someone who fits, take your time you have till spring.
theres an old saying up here in the hills,
"the best patch security is your own shadow"
and its true. hope that helps.

A good tender is hard to find.. But, then again, a good tender is worth the trouble to find. Trust has always been my major issue. My tenders now are remarkable.. Luckily some of the most righteous folks Ive EVER met have the same drive and passion for this as I do.
Regards,
My son watches plots in Humboldt, and cleans, and makes hash too. You have to find someone very trustworthy that doesnt have a love for money.

Will do, although it'll take a few days as I try to limit my peanut gallery comments to a minimum. There's so much valuable information on this site (and within this thread) that it's far more worthwhile for me to spend as much time as possible reading, rather than posting. That said, I really appreciate the time you took to consider my situation and give me some useful advice. More often than not, it seems like people don't pay attention to what you post unless you have hundreds/thousands of posts or it's accompanied by great photos.
over and out,

And it's the best fertilizer too... As we've all seen from watching Tom, humboldtlocal, nomaad, TG, Fill, Rootwise, and Fisher, among others - the more carefully directed love you put in, the greater the dividends your plants pay back come harvest time.
It would be hard for me to have a big garden and not be able to tend it every day, but I also think I'd be missing a golden opportunity, and it would be a lingering regret if I didn't at least give it a shot. I have ideal land in zone 14, ample horticultural knowledge, and the resources to do it right. Watching everyone go balls to the wall in this thread has really emboldened me to make my daydreams a reality. Thanks everyone! Keep the inspiration coming!

I'm not sure if I am over medicated here but are you saying that a remedy for fungus gnats is dunking 1/2 a mosquito in a gallon of water and spray it on the plants?
Why is it I ask an innocent question and get negative repped for it??????????????????
WTF???
Are we not allowed to ask simple questions ?
Men only?
What???
