more pink bud, approaching maroon!

Thank you, and that list is an incredible resource!!

And now...some bud damage from the Actinovate, I'm afraid. Many bud tops showing browning/withering white hairs (but the ones just underneath still okay). I will stop any further spraying for the next 5 days, monitor intensely for any indication of fresh mold, and if I find it...I probably...

More pics

Okay, here are few more pics... HOWEVER, I am now suspicious that the browning of top white hairs I'm seeing is NOT due to the plants going to seed, but rather a negative impact of my aggressive use of Actinovate to suppress mold. I've read at least one report of such happening to others.

Some fresh mold on one exposed (already molded and cleaned) branch: the wax job seemed to come off in the elements. Otherwise, nothing new. But then, no fog. I sprayed again (3rd day in a row), again in the sunshine/wind, so it was probably dry in 30 minutes. I'm monitoring extremely...

I'm wondering if this is the look of my white hairs quickly changing brown because the plant is fertilized (I have no males, that's for sure), or, this is just the natural progression of the bud development. Thanks and sorry the pic isn't super crisp, outdoor plants -> wind makes it tough close...

Well, I still have perhaps 30% of my crop in place, and it's growing with sunshine and relatively dry and cool weather. Sprayed a second time yesterday afternoon in high winds, so it dried very quickly, and will do so again today. WTF not, try to get these things growing up more. I've...

Thick overcast and fog, so thick most people would say it's raining. And the plants??? Bud after bud filled with rot. 20%+ cut out. Only the less mature buds that aren't yet particularly dense don't yet have rot. If it drys out in the next day or two...and if there's still any left at...

Actinovate arrived, actinovate solution sprayed all over, just as the fog settled in this early evening. And as I spray and spread and sprayed and sprayed...holy bananas I have ALOT of colas coming up! A lot. 80?? More? Don't know, it's a lot. PRAYING that they now stay mold free (I will...

Thank you!!!! Can't control temp, plants outdoor on deck. It certainly doesn't look similar to where on a different plant I definitely DID get some bud rot. It is (so far) completely unique among my 12 plants. I'll keep my eye on it.

IS THAT BLACK LEAF DUE TO MOLD???? Or is some it some weird coloration thing going on? I don't actually see "mold" on it, visually it appears to be the pigment. Everything I've read says you get pin leaves turning YELLOW, not black from bud rot. Anyone, anyone???? (I realize it doesn't look...

Wouldn't ya know that (a) it's not foggy (that's good) and (b) we get a rainstorm (not so good) and (c) the delivery of actinovate for "by 8pm today" is now "maybe tomorrow, maybe Wednesday, hey if you don't get it by Thursday give us a call". Yagoddabekiddinname. Deep breaths...everything...

More losses. First signs of rot in buds, in of course my largest and most developed colas. Chop, cut, gone. Dry now, and the actinovate arrives tonight. I presume every single bud will get the rot over time as they thicken up and we get more bouts of wet fog (certain). So this is my Last...

Can anyone recommend BEST strains for (a) SF latitude (a little above 38 degrees) AND frequent wet/foggy conditions (mold resistance) AND outdoor grow in general??? Data I need for next season!! TIA.

That's innovative!!! Paint!!! I'm going to stick with high quality wax.

Glory be, a sunny morning in SF!!! After several days of dripping wet fog. Found yet several more new mold spots, more cleaning, more waxing. NEXT: I'm intending to do a comprehensive (including buds) spray down on Monday late day (when it arrives, and assuming conditions are dry) with...

Okay friends and neigbors, for better or for worse, I've done it. I've cleaned/disinfected every damaged area I can find (perhaps...12?) with 92% isopropyl alcohol, let it dry a bit, then lathered on and rubbed in gently a beeswax based product called SnoSeal (that I've used in the past for...

I will post as it matures, assuming it lives. I'm fighting mold, literally daily (on stems, not on buds...yet!!!).

Thanks waterproof for the suggestions, I'll investigate those. I certainly have some hydrogen peroxide. RIght now I've done a later afternoon cleaning/rinsing, and ALREADY some areas cleaned last night mechanically have fresh mold. We'll see, but I think it's able to overcome the vinegar, AND...
