Mould Prevention

[GIY]

Hi everyone i have been growing indoors for about 3 years now. and I am planning for an outdoor grow this spring. Sth Hemisphere.

 

I have picked a location not far from me that gets ideal rain and provides the possibility of remote locations but without tree canopy. Sounds odd but such a place exists. average rain is 900mm per annum.

 

Will mould be a problem???

 

and if mould will be a problem can you treat the plant with preventative sprays such as copper or sulphur. These after a certain with-holding period should not affect the buds. Has anyone tried this???

i have harvested budz in a cyclone

i thourt

totally washed out

than i flashed some and tried some of the best budz

so strong

maybe from the stress of all that rain at once

i dont know

but im glad i didnt throw it away

 

mould can only attack plants when they are K deficient

stress can cause the plant to use all its available K in less than 1hr

now if the conditions for mould spores to grow are ideal

you could lose all to bud rot in 1 day

Keep the K upto her in stressfull timez

liquid kelp is a irey source of K

the best is Agg strength Potassium bicarbonate

like ECO CARB google it

Potassium bicarbonate yes the stuff that makes cakes rise in the oven

strictly Potassium bicarbonate

no other bicarbonate will work

like sodium bicarbonate that is no good

no other bicarbonate will work

strictly Potassium bicarbonate

seen

try to plan to plant so that you harvest is in a dry period early or mid winter

if that is possible

 

to force out door plants to flower early you need black out curtains

or a combination called indoor/outdoor

where you start dem off indoors under 18hrs till they reach a certain hight

then outdoor to force flower

Thanks heaps man. Ill definately keep the potassium up to the plants. I will have to consider indoor 18 hours then outdoor cause this is gorillia grow so i cant have a black curtain. Unfortunitely this place gets pretty good summer rain which is unusual for southern hem but i check the rainfall records for the nearest beauro weather station and 100mm in a summer month is common. COuld this be a big enough problem to simply scrap the location and consider somewhere else???? Or will keeping the canopy open plus high K nutrition be enough

never giv it up

you have the will

there is a way

once you start you will only improve and fine tune as you go

live and lern affare

you only fail if you give up

never giv it up

then tell i
