8/19 Rained again last night. No damage but medium is drenched. The 9lb kush I've been struggling with seems to be improving. I spent a lot of time on her yesterday and at least an hour this morning defoliating and pruning her. New growth and flowers look promising. I'm cautiously optimistic. I defoliated what needed it. I needcto qpplyvorganocide again. I can see random signs of septoria leaf spot. I really have been off my fame lately. I'm back on it now. This week the garden will be rearranged and I'll pull that big GDP back and better support the blueberry for flower. That NYCSA is a beast. It's resilient as all hell and just continues getting bigger and fuller. Despite pr9blems in the garden this girl seems absolutely fine. At least I don't have that defeated feeling anymore. I've got flowers on a few different plants. I'll try to get a couple pictures. I may take rapacaps advice and add a cheap plastic roof for later flower. I'm not sure if the explosive flower growth is due to the liquid kool bloom but I think I'm going to switch back to tiger bloom as it works better with the other nutes. I'll jeep this updated but I've got work to do. 8/20 Well it Rained again last night. This is getting discouraging. Now my other 9lb kush has the bottom branch all droopy like there's a borer or something. Realistically with the temp swings and the weather I think it's a firm of root rot or pythiym damage which isn't good. I posted pictures of the stalks and would be grateful if anyone has any advice. I'm go8ng back down to look again for a borer hole but i didn't see one. What it looks like to me is that the petroleum jelly I put on the stalks (to battle ear wigs) seems to keep them moist or something inviting mold or fungus. I'm kind of at a loss. I don't really know where to go from here. I don't know if I should just replant the severely damaged plant away from the rest of the grow, bag it and get rid of it or leave it be and hope for the best. I certainly don't want anything spreading. I'm getting tigerbloom today as my plants still need to eat and I'm nervous about the liquid kool bloom. It's probably fine but still. I'll update after I put in more work and research more today. Any advice helps. UPDATE: No borer holes. The stalk looks fucking horrible. It's supposed to rain today. I'm going to give it one more day then I'll amputate that branch and get rid of the other plant if I don't see an improvement. Perhaps I'll plant it in the ground. Don't really know what to do. Family bar b que today so my options are limited. 8/21 FED TWO GALLONS TO THE GARDEN. ONLY USED .5TSP/GAL OF LIQUID KOOL BLOOM. Did not feed dieing plant. Back to super hot weather 80° at 9am. Did a lot of research last night. I also went to several commercial growers and asked advice. What I came up with was a fusarium infection of pythiym infection (Crown rot). I looked at all my stalks and they all have bark and are darker where I applied the petroleum jelly. I'm also NEVER using DE again. It fucking ridiculous amounts of water. Everyone swears by it bit it's not going in my garden again. Since use I can just watch water sit right on the GD soil. I tried to get some examples of what I'm talking about with the stems. I amputated that lowest bottom branch I trained (which was huge). I didn't have time to dispose of the other plant before my wife's doctor's appointment. I'll update when I go back over. I'm sure this won't help and may hurt but I used Bee Safe 3 in 1 on the wound and around the stalks of the plants I saw discoloration on. I didn't touch the NYCSA even though I see some discoloration. I may just be seeing things. That plant I'd super healthy and I don't want to risk losing it. It doesn't seem to have the stem rot like the others. At least I'm not the only one having problems. I hears some pretty bad stories. Still. I'm heart broken. I'll keep this updated after I go back over. FUCK. I MAY just go back to indoor. UPDATE: Got back from the appointment and the rest of the plant was all droopy just like the other 9lb kush (and the branch amputated). I wondered about that because other branches looked worse. I got the totally dead 9lb kush out and found some root rot. AFTER wheeling the bag out I found earwigs and other insects where the bag had been. Awesome. I used h202 to try to wipe down anything that looked Fingal in the stem. It sucks because it seems like that liquid kool bloom pushed them over the edge into flower. Cotton balls where there was nothing. So that's both my 9lb kush plants and the largest plant of the year the GDP that have all bit the dust. If you grow cannabis you know how I'm feeling. I KEEP TRY8NGVTO UPLOAD THE MINUTE VIDEO I TOOK BUT I CLICK ON SOMETHING ELSE AND IT DISAPPEARS. WIFI SLOW. HAVE TO WAIT FOR 5G 8/22 What do I say? Fusarium? Pythium? Stem rot? I'm going to have to get a tent to do some indoor to get the medicine I need for me and my wife. I took the last 9lb kush out and disposed of it. Well it's still in the bag. I'm hoping maybe it might come out of it (beyond hope and far away from the others (but I'm going to toss it today). This blows so hard. Flowers are just starting to develop. I like the liquid kool bloom. It seems to make flowers explode when there was none before. At least on the plants I have left. Actually even the dieing ones started flowering. I'm really concerned considering that one plant (at least) has septoria and every plant has that petroleum jelly on it. Cautio to people that use that. It seems thats where the rot started or is. In spots I spread the petroleum jelly. Anyway my NYCSA has the smallest amount of "funky looking stuff on the stem" so I'm hoping it will make it. Cotton balls starting to appear. If I lose the whole fucking crop I'm gonna go ape shit. UPDATE: Spoke with a few others and did more research. I removed my braces on the bottom of all the plants. It looks like the pjelly and the brace allowed for some type of contaminate. Other growers think I'm being too bleak. They think things will turn out okay. They are more knowledgeable about cannabis than me but I'm with these particular plants everyday. They're probably right and my anxiety is just getting g to me. It's scary seeing a healthy plant completely die in such a short time. After removing the other 9lb kush I could easily see extreme rootbound roots still too the size of the 1 gallon they came in. The bag was PACKED FULL of tight roots so they definitely made it down. The plant however just fell over when I pushed it. I had roughed it up a big before. Anyway I'm praying to the cannabis gods to not take what I have left. 8/23 Fucking pouring again. This sucks. I've gotten loads of advice and made another friend on here. I forgot my phone so I couldn't take pictures this morning. My spirits are up a little seeing that others are at least attempting to help. I'm headed to the grow shop after a night of research to grab supplies to battle this. I'll update later. EDIT: I picked up plant doctor at the grow shop. It was 50% off and I couldn't find anything with trichodermia. However, I've heard good things about this plant doctor. It's systemic and can be used as a root drench and a foliar spray. BIGGEST selling point for me is that it SPECIFICALLY lists fusarium, grey mold. Pythiym crown rot, black mold and all kinds of other shit. The thing that sucks is it's raining and it's not supposed to stop for a few days. That's going to make application more difficult. Oh well. I think I may do a root drench on the one plant that has a wilted bottom branch. I'll keep this updated. Thank you everyone who reached out. Especially growing grannies and my commercial buddy who is always here for me. However he has no experience with this so I'm kinda on my own here. EDIT: I couldn't find trichodermia and I don't have time to wait around and order. I found plant doctor which literally lists it treats all the possibly pathogens my issue could be. Even has a section for medical Marijuana. I did a root drench on the plant up front in the middle AND I did a foliar spray. Might as well get the septoria too. It's systemic but it gets in faster through the leaves I guess. It started sprinkling and I want to test this stuff out before I go ham with it. I did give some to the to other plants bit left my best AND THE TWO SMALLER ONES alone for now. I'm not seeing those issues on the NYCSA and I don't want to risk damaging it. I chose tge root drench as it's raining and the instructions for fusarium WAS a root drench. Thank you all for your help. I will close out tge question once I know it's figured out. Wish me luck. DID A SHORT VIDEO BUT WIFI IS SUPER SLOW SO I NEED TO WAIT TO UPLOAD IT. Went back over. Finished foliar spraying the other two and left the NYCSA and two Littles alone. Hopefully this works. I did I short video. Who knows if it uploads. UPDATE: Went back over and finished foliar spraying. Took a bunch of pictures and did a video but it didn't upload. I'm hoping this will do it. Plants actually look good. And they're flowering nicely! It's too bad I had to do a foliar bug this us supposed to combat PM and septoria as well. 8/24 It Rained last night but hasn't Rained today yet. It's supposed to and uts overcast. I'm really considering putting a roof on my grow (like rapacap suggested) for flower to decrease mold chances. Plants looked happy. I saw no negative effects from the Plant Doctor. I even sprayed a branch of the NYCSA and the stem and a little around tge roots. I finally feel like I can take a breath. I've been working so hard and worrying about losing g everything. I may have been able to save that 9lbkush but I don't think bit was worth taking the chance. The sun is peaking out now. My buddy at the grow shop called and set a side general hydroponics armor si 0-0-4 silica supplement cause it was 90% off. I pad like a buck sixty lol. I'll incorporate that next feed or water. Whatever comes first but it will be good to get it in the regimen. I was worried plant doctor might hurt but the girls seemed to kike it and I went ham on the worst plant. I mixed according to medical Marijuana guidelines on the label (Theres another label on the internet, it's not on this one, it's at the very bottom and just recommdations from commercial growers. I hope this stuff works. Things look better already though. That liquid kool bloom is the bees knees. That's making flowers pop up like crazy! I think I'll stick with it. I was going to use beastie bloom and cha ching later on (and still might) but I hate the lockout bullshit. I've done a bunch of videos but most don't get uploaded as i forget to upload when I leave and wifi is slow here. Anyway at least I've got a few good ones left and pleating the words of my commercial poll buddy, "barring anything catastrophic you should be fine. I know your anxiety gets the better of you sometimes." Couldn't be a truer statement. I'm still getting a tent and doing indoor though. I'm going to need to. 8/25 Did some slight defoliation. I think today I'm going to reorganize my grow space. Things are looking better though. Plants look healthier. Flower is on and they are going to beat hell. I'm glad I took a cutting from NY 9lb kush. I also took one from the NYCSA. THose are tge little ones. The 9lb kush is flowering pretty good. Too bad it's just on a 3 gal. The NYCSA us in a 10 gal grow bag though and is doing amazing. I still see septoria on the leaves. I'm sure I'll need to reapply plant doctor but thus far I'm impressed. Things LOOK better. I don't even remember the last time I watered. It Rained last night. Looks sunny today. I'm going to feed tomorrow. I want the soil to dry out though. We usually don't get consistent rain like this. It's a first for me. I'll update later if I get stuff done.still wondering if I should amputate that wilted branch or give it a bit. It's still attached right now. I'll get some sealant and do some more research.

8/5 My previously gorgeous 7ft GDP was sick as fuck. LAST FED 8/6 DIDN'T USE TIGER BLOOM AS IT WAS CHUNKY AND OUTDATED. 8/6 Lost my first plant in four years. Huge grand daddy purple (7FT super bushy) seemed to have root rot or was rootbound. Some of it smelled musty and was brown but I think the stalk got detached from the main rootball. Spider webbed roots all over the bottom of the pot so it looked root bound too but the dirt was loose. I took some pictures but I'm home so it's taking forever to upload. I took a quick video too. I have much more space now so maybe it will end up helping in the long run flowering. At least with airflow. That one plant was a lot of my canopy. Fucking sucks to have to pull out your biggest plant. I needed to see if earwigs were in the soil though. I've been getting insect damage. Didnt find any. Just like last year they lollipop the fucking branches and eat the newly developing shoots and flowers. Also another hundred degree day with super humidity. My other girls seem to be doing well though despite the harsh environment. Last I checked soil ph is back in range. 8/8 Raining today. Plants were super dry and I didn't have time before my wife's doctor's appointment so i wayered with the hoyse lightly. Its only a tad alkaline. I wonder if i can ph a bunch of water andcstore it in buckets or barrels? Ill have to research. WPM doesn't seem as bad but I'm sure it will rear it's ugly head again soon enough. I'll need to do a treatment soon. My blueberry plant in the tote seems like the stalk is breaking away from the root ball like it did on that huge GDP. the plant looks healthy though. Other than some earwig damage on lower branches that will probably be clipped. Flower has started. I tied it to a stake to put it upright but I'm worried about the winds without my tarp. People talked me into taking my back tarp down and I think that's what finally killed the plant. Roots weren't attached and the soil wasn't compact despite the spiderwebbed roots all on the bottom of the plant. The others are doing pretty good considering the circumstances. 8/10 Rained two days in a row. Took a bunch of pictures but they wouldn't upload. Didnt swfoliate today. Plants are actually looking pretty good despite the horrible season we've had. In the 60's today. Thirty degree temperature swing and that's just during the day. Will update more later. Oh and I spoke with a local commercial grower who grows both indoor and out commercially and owns a dispensary. Farm to table. Someone u respect greatly take a look at the pictures/video I have and with our previous conversations and what he saw he said "If you want my honest opinion you did nothing wrong. You have the same strain in smaller containers doing fine so it's not genetics. The plant was rootbound when you got it and you could've even put it in a 100gal and the sane thing would've happened. It was just shooting so many roots our instead of circling because it had been rootbound and was so large. It wouldve happened with that plant regardless. I would chalk this up to nature. You haven't lost plant in four years right?" I nod. "Any seasoned or commercial grower would honestly look at you and be like one plant in four years and your bitching? Cone on man." We went over a bunch if stuff I couldn't upload here and the actual site. It was good to hear this compliment from a commercial grower. I mean he's on another level. He does three outdoor harvests a year here with light dep and has an indoor grow facility and dispensary as well. I'm really lucky to have these types of resources. If you see this shout out to you man! 8/11 Rained last night. Overcast today. Plants liked the rain. Other than some of the leaves that look like they might have septoria the plants seem to be doing good. Especially with the humidity and the varying temperature. With the loss of my biggest plant I think I have room to move some plants. I always plant t I close to the fence. I could move the GDP in front back and move the blueberry in the tote and add a vertical trellis for support. On a positive note I'll have more room to work and I'll have better air flow. As soon as I have a night without rain or a day without showers I'll do another treatment of organocide. I'm also going to start beastie bloom soon. I don't have open sesame and i dont want to buy it. Its the only one i dont have. Still random damage here and there. I've seen several Japanese beetles too. I'm glad I found them. It was on the top of a plant. If it did its thing it would've looked like cigarette burned wall the way through a bud.

Great nose and terps. Cookies beats out Humboldt in quality. Yield was very low but that could have been growers error

We are at 21 days from these girls breaking the surface and they are making progress. I noticed at the beginning of the week that they were a little overdosed on nitrogen so I added 2 gallons of tap water to the reservoir and adjusted the ph to 6. They are still looking a little heavy on N but their growth rate is going great so I think it should balance out by the end of next week. I dont plan on doing a water change until I flower them. I left the plants alone most of the week. Tied most of them down to spread them out and defoliated a few lower leaves on day 20. The branches on most of these plants are thick and solid already. They don't budge easily. Bananasicle is looking pretty funky with uneven branch and node growth but we are just going to push forward. Still pumping nutrients and beaming light 24 hours a day. I'm thinking day 28 we will switch them to flower and see if any of these ladies can bring some❄️🔥💨

This week has been wild. I had to cut the sides of the greenhouse as the plants had it bursting at the seams. These girls are all flowering beautifully and starting to frost up. Happy Growing.

Hi Growmies, So far she is developing very nicely. Had someone from the community suggest plant success orca and Rezin to me, sp these were added for the next weeks feed to prepare the pre flower. The roots have started to nest themselves right above the airstone. As of now I think I’ll give her two more weeks and then flip her, as she is stretching a bit slower than I thought she would. Thank you all for passing by and see you next week.

June 27th - field checks for sure as the week progresses. Making sure outdoor plants get amended with updated feedings and Mtce. ~ 6 more weeks of Veg, thats all !!! - Southern Ontario gets just 14hrs of day-lite on Aug 13th. That is the first day of Flower for me. 28th - visited Congo #3 x Bangi Haze, Purple Dawn and Russian Tzar Bomba - top-dressed each 15 gal fabric pot - re-applied support bamboo and isolated stalk - great to see Lady Bugs on the plants. We could find no other insects or bite marks. LadyBugs are welcome anytime July 1/2 - cleaned the weeds around the plant bases / hillside of the LSD and Panama Red plants ( + purpsberry and Honduras x Panama) - noticed the wind had Split the FIM-site on the Panama Red. Being so fresh, duct-tape leaves no fear that the repaired-joint is exposed. “Are Toppings safer than FIMS, when exposed to outdoor Wind stresses ?” Maybe that little nuggett on top truly holds the joint together. The split on the Fim was about to go right down the plant. - soils amended towards 15gal pots, with fresh Fertilizer, compost, azomite, kelp meal - each plant given a gallon of nutrients on the first, ahead of a possible storm. No storm, plants fed 1.25 gallons of root boost ea., through Soil Amendment… today, the 2nd - next couple of waterings are Reduced strength but full spectrum Nutrients. - Panama Red is as wide as it is tall. With wispy branches that are full of tiny delicate leaves. I threw a quik video into the photos. Better effort next time. There is a Real lacey kind of branch network on this strain - LSD is a hardy stocky plant. Supernhealthy
