I do a lot of pollen chucking and like seeing the results, even though I don't really do a proper pheno hunt. And I like hanging out in a stinky garden!

Nice! I made my first super soil for my indoor grow last fall. Outdoors I plant in the ground in our old garden space that we have amended for almost 20 years. The key is home made worm compost, both indoors and outside.

Plants look really healthy!

Grow them again, that is.

Copper is pretty much the only thing I have heard of that helps, and sulfur, copper is "organic", funny enough. Never heard of anything else that works. But, I have seen individual plants be unscathed by septoria! So I will try to grow those.

I won't use copper on cannabis, since it is a bioaccumulater. Copper might be ok on fruit that you wash, but I won't smoke plants that have been exposed to it. I would rather find resistant plants, which I have grown before. I will use BT and Zerotol, but that is about it.

Hail protection, and the bottom mesh is armadillo protection.

One more.

Need to spread mulch and sex a few more plants. Some pollen chucks. Hopefully some of these are resistant to leaf septoria!

Hail yes! I'm ready.

A lot of pesticides and herbicides, organic or not, leave a residue which you would not want on a plant in late flower. That's what I am asking about.

Can this be applied late in flower? Seems like it would leave a residue.

Zerotol can be sprayed up to and after harvest! Super effective against PM, a life saver for me as an outdoor grower, no residue, turns into oxygen and water. And has never had any detrimental effects on flavor or aroma in my 5 years of using it! https://www.arbico-organics.com/product/zerotol-hc/

I have had it 3 out of 5 years. 2 years ago we had a drought all summer and no septoria. I live in the woods and it is everywhere, no avoiding it. I have not found any treatments that do more than slow it down for a minute, and then, when your plant gets old and week at harvest time, it attacks...

Septoria hit me hard as well last summer, but I had 1 plant that was almost totally disease free, so I am running a couple of seeds from that as well as some quick finishing strains that worked in the past. I plan on septoria happening again, so I will keep trying to select for plants that can...
