Well, the mildew is starting to get to the domina and rather than cull them early and have a real hard time trimming off spore-y material i wanted to try and save them of course. I mean come on 2 weeks to go still easy and these girls are getting fat too.
Sooo i sat and had a think about what to do. i started snipping leaves that were infected, and i watch a few spores poof into the air.... so i had another think about itand decided to get out the pump sprayer and fill it with........ H2O. Of course, how can i get the spores off of the leaves without them becoming airborne....??? WATER! I showered the fuck out of them, in a head, shoulders, knees and toes fashion. Just trying to wash from top to bottom... and wash off as much spore as i possibly can.... I literally have nothing to lose, if i cut them this early they will be disappointing.... and not have the proper "flush" (which is just plain water to make them use up the vegamatrix in soil still, NOT going for run-off kind of flush).
5 gal of water later, and shaking the living shit out of them to get the water off, they are sitting on the fringes of the lights with the fans drying them off. i will go through and check on them tonight
I just decided to take matters into my own hands. there was no other option in my opinion. seemed like a no brainer. a literal shower for them, just like Ma nature would have done
the humidity is so low lately, i'm not concerned about bud mold, however i'll be ozoning the air every night so hopefully that will teach the mold a lesson!
all i know is that i washed a fuck ton of spores off of those plants today and if i'm considering repeating the wash every 3 days or so until harvest. they'll be squeaky clean!!! I'll post a picture later once they dry off. my hypothesis is that they're going to push really hard now that the leaves are clean of any material that will inhibit photosynthesis.
What do you guys think?
