RIDING THE JET STREAM

What a wet season here in the N.East for the outdoor growing this year.
With more to come.tempImagegZcNFT.jpgIt has been Tough year trying to feed the girls, at least my soil drains well but still not quick enough with the amount that has past over this year.

What strains you got going there in that amazing outdoor setup ?
I'm in the NE also, and agree with you about the weather ! We harvested a tad early just to avoid more rain and budrot.
They were the works from a breeding project from a friend of mine that started his research around 1969 when he returned home from Vietnam. He no longer grew after 1991 due to unlawful reasons and has since long past. I was told by him that another fellow Service member who was CIA had brought beans back from Afghanistan and that he had beans from Thai sticks he had sent home from his tours.
 
Todd from AG seed and I were recently talking, And he gave me a contact for a Lab in MASS that can research the lineage from just a stem sample.
The cost is somewhere around $300 to test.
I wonder if Todd from AG would be able to make an educated/accurate guess of the strains if he were physically in your garden to experience your plants ? But he's probably in Calif.
 
I deal with this every year on at least a few plants. The humidity being at 90% percent without a breeze at night seems to trigger this a lot more than rain does; I've had a Sativa dominant strain in a greenhouse that didn't get rained on, and lost more of that plant than I did the ones out in the rain with WAY bigger buds. I normally chop that stuff off and toss it, and then check inside the bud. You have to open up a few sections of it to make sure the stem itself isn't white, and if it's not, you can juts chop off the affected area, and toss that, and the rest should be good still.

It took me a while to figure that out, but, once I realized that the stem having white on it meant it did indeed spread, I knew I could essentially toss an entire top over that, VS trying to dig through it looking for spots without any rot.

I approach Botrytis with a H2o2 Spray / Mist to dampen the infected area, then carefully spread the flower and continue spraying to keep any spores from dusting anything else around.
Once the flower is disinfected / dampened, I locate the Node and remove it from the stem.
If the stem is slightly infected, I'll spray and do a slight wipe and cleanup of the stem, I'll later keep an eye out while Scouting as the days continue and spray the stem if necessary.
I've had a good success with this surgical method.tempImageHxhpS0.png
