From early veg through the start of bud formation I spray mine weekly with the following at 1/2 recommended concentration for maintenance or at full strength if I see pest damage....Last summer's drought actually allowed me to have my best out door season ever, mostly by keeping leaf septoria and other molds to a minimum! The previous 2 seasons were pretty brutal, mostly due to leaf septoria, but now I have a sulfur spray that at least allows me to get near the end of flowering. I can't spray the sulfur much past the first couple of weeks of flowering. As always, when flowers get old, near the finish line, they lose the ability to fight off the usual mold and fungus issues. I understand why people grow indoors, but I am still primarily an out door guy. Fortunately, there are strains that do better out doors, and I am focusing more on those as the years go by.
-1/2 tsp per gal dawn concentrated dish soap
-Aza Max
-Southern Ag Garden Friendly Fungicide for PM/mold
-Monterey BT for caterpillars/budworms
-Monterey Garden Insect Spray with Spinosad to control bugs
-1/4 strength nutrients mixed in for foliar feed
Only apply after sunset and after any sign of bees in the garden. The Spinosad kills all bugs good and bad that it touches when it is wet. Don't spray spinosad when bees are around. Also, if you spray this mix on the plants in sunlight, it will burn the leaves and damage the plants.
After bud formation starts, I don't spray anything, just fingers crossed until the end.
My plants do well with that mix.
