Damn rain...

[PeRrY]

I've decided to start bring the ladies in at night, so they dont have to sit in the rain all night, soaking up water they dont need . I've had a few problems with mold already, but only on a few isolated spots, that were quickly removed. Also bringing them in wont give the frost(which will be soon) a chance to kill them.

Hows everyone else with an outdoor crop dealing with all the shitty weather lately?

The outdoor elements, trials and tribulations of guerilla growing proved too much for me. I'll probly wait until i own land before i do any more serious outdoor growing. I got a couple in a bush budding or preflowering fine depending on the strain. They are doing great in this central cali heat, but it has not begun to rain here yet. Also the reason i dont own land, it is so damned expensive out here.

In my studies i have found biological warefare to be the safest-most organic way to combat molds and fungus. There is a product by Advanced Nutrients called dr hornsby's pirahna. It has every microbial and biological organism found to be benificial to growth and health. One of them is called trichoderm hazadenum (forgive the spelling) it combats greymold and boytritis and rootrot directly, coiling itself around the parasitic organism and strangling it.
You can mix pirhana with water and spray the plants directly,also can be used on the rootsystem for overall plant health and super nutrient uptake abilities. These organisms also break down soil. There are benifits and drawbacks to this effect, but they make nutes available to the plant- possibly too fast , thereby burning out your soil.

but yeah it only comes in 500 gram or more- mostly for agricultural applications as opposed to the hobby grower. 100 bucks for 500 grams, but it could save your crop. I lost a small one last year to greymold from doing similar tactics to the ones you are using. Except it was into a leaky greenhouse 3500 foot up in the snow and rain. The plants were used to a more arid enviroment, and succumed to rootrot and greymold. I did not know about this site or have a growbook still around from ages ago when i used to have them.

canna nutes also has a trichoderm product called Tri-003 but it may be hard to find.
