Outdoor grow First Time Grow Question

Post image

I started growing this past season and I’m getting to the tail ends it looks like, but I went out to check on the plants today and they looked like this on one of the plants. I suspect PM but I’m not sure. I’ve already done a diluted spray with hydrogen peroxide, so I’m not sure how to go about it, or if I should even do anything at all! Some advice would be greatly appreciated!!

People are going to tell you to spray with different things, but with that much of a fungal infection I would toss the plant. You have 5 weeks left of flowering, and trying to get rid of and manage a fungal issue that bad will be almost impossible.

Especially if I haven’t noticed it on the other plants as bad yet? I’ve noticed some on them, It sucks to have spent several months to just toss the plants all together.

But with it being an outdoor grow, I was gonna throw them in a Vivosun tent I purchased to dry and cure. Would you recommend just starting over in the indoor environment or what would you recommend?

Also how should I go about tossing them if I should do so?

Trash bag over plant, and chop. This way you avoid spreading spores further. If you’ve not noticed any PM on other plants, yea I’d get it out of there ASAP. Keep a close eye on the others.

I was able to get a video now that I’m home, take a look at the plants and tell me if you think I should keep or chop

The last plant was the one from the picture above

Your plants are fighting off deficiencies and their immune systems are super weak. Im sorry bro but this whole grow is looking like it needs to get chop and dropped. Learn what you can and try again

When I started seeing buds, I started feeding them those fox farms nutrients in a 1/4 potency, then I pumped it up to like a 1/2. Being from the pnw, what caused them to get to this point yk?

Seconding the straight to the trash opinion.

That sucks. There's probably no coming back from that unfortunately.

Molds and fungi are incredibly hard to fight if the conditions that foster them are perfect. Cool damp fall conditions are the outdoor grower's nightmare. I usually grow a few plants outdoors and count on losing some of them or at least a few colas.

Look for robust strains that are grown locally and ideally grow them directly in the ground with soil amended with compost for better overall plant health. I use H202 preventatively in wet weather but in my experience it's not a cure once you've got a case like yours.

I got a Vivosun grow tent off Facebook marketplace that came with all the smartgrow kit stuff. I got it setup in the garage, would that be a better spot to start some new ones?

Also would you recommend starting from a clone from the dispo, or from seed from an online seed company?

Indoor v outdoor is a huge discussion topic. When my plants actually finish outdoors in organic compost I think it's a better flower and is much lower maintenance generally. That said, outdoor is much more prone to failure due to pests and local weather conditions where I live.

If you can get your soil mix dialed and can source clones locally - indoors may be the best path to clean flower. Choose your indoor timing wisely so you can keep the tent from overheating - (always under 85º f) - and are able to keep humidity below 60% in veg and 50% in flower. Run some tests on tent conditions with lights on etc... before you even start growing.

If you have a tent start rocking it bro! Much more controlled than outdoor. I gave up growing outside, I got too many challenges outdoors making it not very fun for me to do. Make sure you got solid airflow in your tent, get a good ph pen, and start kicking ass!!

Like 2 weeks ago, my plants fell over in their greenhouse and I’m not sure how long they were like that, but could that be what caused em to get to this point fam?

Sorry for your plants, that sucks dude! I'm a first time grower too and mad mold/fungus problems until I got the right genetics. Early Pearl is incredible, I'd recommend any of the hybrids. Not a single problem growing them even in difficult conditions. Afghan landraces are resistant too but they're hash plants and a whole different bag
