Northern New York here , and I second that.

I have some 2+ foot gorilla glue colas forming , as well as some super dense greasy runtz .

im outdoors 2x a day - with a leaf blower , clearing dew off . We haven’t had any rain in 2 weeks . It’s been a very warm , sunny , dry summer .

That being said , I won the good fight against caterpillars , with bt monterey , but now am battling WPM, and leaf septoria - and it seems whatever I do - is destined for failure . The WPM. Refuses to go , haven with H2O2 and water power fogged , nightly. 25ml per gallon .

many suggestions as I would guess our climates are very similar ?
Zerotol is the best thing for powdery mildew I have found! While it contains H2O2, its chemical formulation makes it more effective, than regular H2O2.

Thank you! I’m gonna order some Monday . I added 30ml of peroxide to 1 gallon of water , and hit it with a power fogger . I did it on my smallest plant - which is ironically the one with the worst white powdery mildew . I’m hoping it does the trick but up for anything .

I have 5 gallons of h202 also , that I always used like clear rez , in my hydro setups - I wonder if I could dilute that and spray foliar .
I do know that if you use too much , it’ll bleach the buds

Zerotol is mostly h202, but its formulation makes it way more effective at treating PM. You definitely need to follow the recommended treatment amounts. I have very effectively treated PM late in flower without damaging the buds.

Two days ago I trimmed a branch from the AK47 put it on the rack in the shed.
Last night I found several buds that had dried on the Farmers Daughter. The plant is probably the unhappiest plant of the lot, gets least sun and water. I rolled one and was very stoned and impressed. Often the earliest gets you the highest, but I look forward to harvesting more of FD.

The AK47 bud was dried and put in to burp bucket I snagged a bud and rolled it. Tastes as good as it smells different head than FD.
With all the medical issues and lantern fly invasion this season I am so glad to have something to put in the jar.

You can spray 3% peroxide right on flowering plants with out damage.

Getting close on a few here. Had a little fog and very light drizzle this past week but mostly still dry. Not as much sun lately.

Here's the fabric pots (Northern Lights #5, Pine Tar Kush, and a cross between the two):

Plants in ground are doing great, same cultivars (except the one in foreground is Abacus (hemp):

A few of the Pine Tar Kush flowers are very colorful. Anyone else seeing these colors?

2 of the 5 Pine Tar Kush plants I grew were almost black! They didn't seem as potent as the green ones, though.

Plants are declining rapidly here, 104 3 days in a row last week, couple of the older sativa pollen chucks have died. They weren't any good anyway. Was hoping for 10 to 20 more days, doubt that will be possible. Welcome to outdoor growing!

Damn, that's a drag. I thought cannabis did OK in heat but 104 is pretty damn hot! Where are you located? It's not just dehydration, they're actually wilting from the heat itself? Crazy.

Northern Ok. They do fine in the heat most of the year, late in the season the plants get too weak from old age to deal with it, that's my theory. They had plenty of water, being in the ground and well tended. I think the increased transpiration uses up its resources faster than it can handle, hence they grab all they can get from the leaves.

I think it speeds up the finishing time as well, for better or worse. Tons of pistils have turned red in the last few days, like they are trying to finish as fast as they can before they die, as a couple already have.100%amber.jpg

Yeah they never are if a strain has two different coloured phenos the green one is always the more potent one I guess it's cos green is better for photosynthesis Vs purple

Just a bit of color setting in on one pheno, other is greener.
Low 50's coming this week, probably turn darker.

Still no bugs or mold this year, easier to maintain shorter plants.
Mostly have to wash bird crap off and spray Bt for a few more weeks.
