Looks great! What is it?
Blueberry Muffin Top from Hillbilly Skunk Farms out of Vermont; he has varieties adapted for the New England climate. He even has a badass looking CBG variety that I’ll be running next season as well.

Extremely impressed with the varieties I’ve got of his so far.

I’ll be purchasing a bunch more kinds for next season can bet on that.

As for the bug It looks like a friend? Looks like a damn Zerg from StarCraft or Star Troopers.

Also: 3 more days of RAIN?!? Ahhhhh!

I’ll pray for everyone up here!

That’s a great understanding of how Zerotol works... Thanks! I’m pretty sure I’ll be adjusting to Zerotol for next year.
I picked up on Zerotol when it was mentioned back in August. Was only able to get the HC (lower concentration formula for home growers) but liked the science behind it.
I was destroyed by bud rot last year and it was like cutting my heart out everyday to trim it away.
Anyway, I started with Monterey Total control and started to see some rot. Once I switched to zerotol things improved. I am finding one very small spot daily now and cutting it out.
I saw the comment earlier about commercial growers treating every other day and started that practice. I also theorized that I could mix it "hot" as the commercial version has much higher H2O2 concentration.
No plant damage has occurred from the stronger mix.

I read people complained that Zerotol was burning plants, and saw in their literature they attribute this to unseen pathogens that zerotol is burning out. I see little yellow spots on some leaves that I attribute to this but plant health is excellent.

I have never burned a plant with Zerotol in 3 years, but I have always followed the instructions. My friends were the ones using it every other day at one point. They were commercial outdoor growers and the only problem they had from spraying so much was that it became a little costly.

Been a little MIA from the forum lately but figured I'd share some chop day pics. Would've liked another week but found some PM and a few spots of budrot so decided not to try weathering another storm. Had a good number of amber trichs anyways.

3x Hippy Slayer 33 x Bahlki Landrace (open pollination) by me. North coast of MA.

Whoa, don't know what that last post was, buutttt.... things finishing up nicely. The ECSD from Shoreline, finishing up beautifully, all dark purple, to black leaves with tight knots of buds. Even with the late start, just amazing. Putang and Shaman, Superbud and a Gelato. And according to my map, a Super Silver Haze. The KushMint just needed more time, and my one little superskunk is finishing in a little bush of knotty buds, much like the ECSD. But the ECSD is just amazing. Can't wait to do a full run on it.20221006_142938.jpg20221006_142917.jpg20221005_235808.jpg20221006_142823.jpg20221006_142838.jpg20221006_142902.jpg20221006_143059.jpg20221006_143112.jpg

Everything is still up; no amber yet. Found only a few more rot spots yesterday after four days of rain so feeling pretty comfortable with continuing on deeper into the month. Will be hitting them with the Monterey Complete bacteria spray today, as I’m just not seeing caterpillars that I’d normally use B.t. to eliminate. Hoping the next few cold nights start pushing the furthest along over the finish line.

Sholgar are the closest to the finish -

Waziri Repros are getting there too, yanked a bunch of yellow leaves off them a couple of days ago to improve air flow -

Rustam Kush still slow but at least they are getting resinous -

And the Balkhi Repros are doing well too; last pic is from the one that I almost killed by drowning its roots when it was in a pot, that miraculously recovered along with three others when I put them in the ground -

Looking good everyone! I pulled a plant today, started to see bottom age rot, the brown stuff, so she's hanging. I kept seeing birds in the patch and where I'd cut down all but my seed branches. Figured they were cleaning up any insects, saw some leaf hoppers. On closer inspection, I discovered that instead, they were feasting on the seeds! Some of them still encased in goey tops. Maybe they were partying. Salvaged what I could.

Our silliest mistakes open doors we'd never of dreamed.
