NO I spray with actinovate , I try to start early to stay ahead of it but last year was brutal and pm was all over the place lots of different farms got hit with that and lots of mold.I used milk at 10 to 1 ratio for the pm and actinovate as well for both pm and to keep ahead of the mold.

I hear ya bout last year. I lost some fantastic looking blue dreams to our early winter/short summer as well as caterpillars. Shoulda known better than to try Blue dream in this area but with the long dry summer we had the year before, I gave it a try.

Let the plants abandon her leaves as she wants. Remove those leaves once brown and crispy. A sun leaf not only produces energy, it stores it. Done perfectly, the last sun leaves will die the day before you harvest.

Really? Even all the smaller flowers that will be on the very inside of plant during flower? I always see people prune them all down and leave only the sun exposed flowers. Thanks for the reply.

People like to prune the smaller flowers to increase top growth for indoor. I don't think its that necessary for outdoor with all the side lighting you are getting from the sun.
veggiegardener: is right, even though a yellow leaf is ugly to look at, and we all want perfectly green, and good looking plants, every leaf is important until it literally gets brown and crispy and falls off. Leafs also act as a way to filter out over nutrients. So my theory is, the more the leafs that are on the plant, the bigger the buffer. I have bad habit of over feeding sometimes, and i'm pure organic. People try to say its really hard to over fertilize with organics... pssch i say bs.

Did you just give me something to get more paranoid about?.. lol What is " PM "? Are you saying that there are mold spores that float around outdoors and could possibly land on, or around, and infect our plants?
This may go against organics; however, ive decided to give this a try.
House of garders Magic Green: foliage spray that adds a protective waxy layer that will form on the leafs, adding an extra layer of defense from insects and mold. The wax layer is suppose to make the leafs unappealing to insects.
Neem Oil: We all know about Neem oil, i hope.

You can always harvest the tops of the plants first and let the bottom buds ripen and harvest again.

Hey Sub, I'm in the gorge as well, last year was really the exception to the rule, for the 5 years previous to last year I was harvesting into the second week of October, but I've gone to pretty much all strains bred to be grown outdoors in the PNW and finish before October. Don't want to mess with someone else's thread but if your interested PM me and I can help set you up for next year.
You space looks amazing JACBpdx. Similar to mine!! I'll throw some pictures up, my plants are lagging a bit compared to previous years, but they are now healthy 3 footers.

Hey Joe, ( isn't that a song? .
PM = Powdery Mildew
I dealt with it a few years ago and found a product by Bonide called Rose RX and contains Neem Oil. It's says its safe to use on fruits and veggies up to a day before harvest. ( if I'm remembering correctly)Worked for me.

Here what I used and it worked for me. Careful there is a Rose RX Drench you DONT want to use. This 3-1 Rose RX ready to use contains Been Oil and is approved for use in organic gardening.
