Hello my friend,
I was looking through the posts on here as I am new to the forum and I could not help but notice the intelligence in your posts. Thank you for bringing some levity and clarity to often cloudy issues (no pun intended) I have a question and I think I will get more useful data out of one answer from you, than I would if I were to post the question and let everyone hack away at it. My question is this, I am at 7 weeks into budding and I notice two plants now displaying small spots of PM. I had a PM attack early in the VEG stage and I removed the most infested plants and took off the infected foliage on plants that were not as infected. I then conducted multiple sulfur burns and neem oil treatments over a few weeks, bought an air purifier, and an in the room style air conditioner/dehumidifier. The temp in the room is constant 77degrees during the photoperiod and dipping to no lower than 70 degrees at night. the humidity in the room never gets above 40% and never lower than 36%, I thought I had the problem beat, with the environmental conditions under my complete control and no presence of PM. Then today I notice the two plants (with huge buds) having a few small spots of PM. After reading your posts about PM being systemic, is it safe to assume that is what happened to my two problem girls? These two are the same strain, and different from my other 10 in the same room, do you think that maybe these two contracted a systemic PM infection during VEG and the others only a topical infection? There is no sign of PM ANYWHERE except on the noted two plants. What do you think? is PM always systemic, or only in severe or untreated cases? Is it a systemic problem as soon as you see it, or does it become systemic after it is left untreated? More importantly, what should I do with the two girls? They are in a room of 12 and are 7 weeks into budding. Should I remove them for concern of PM spread, or would that of already happened if it were going to? Due to my complete control over the environment, maintaining an alkaline surface on the leaves and buds, can PM even spread? There are no environmental conditions in my room that would allow PM colonization, is this reason enough to believe it can not spread to my other girls? Why is it colonizing on these two, despite unfavorable temperatures and humidity levels, is it because the infection in these two has become systemic, and is now part of the plants make up? They definitely smell a little funny, all throughout the two plants, not just the infected spots, is it cool to smoke the buds? I have pictures on my Farmer Union webpage if you want to see the plants. The site is 420farming.com, my page is AFGHAN FARMER, in the tool bar at the top of the page. I have 6 or so pics on there. What is your take? Love reading your posts, you can respond on here or to my email on the webpage. I will enjoy being part of this community with you. Thanks in advance for the help...Stone
Hello BWC,
I see this was written in 2009... Do you still feel the same about minimal amounts of PM to smoke personally? Have you had any adverse affects from eating or smoking since. I have very minimal amounts and have a tendency to just throw away obviously infected spots but am wondering if I'm missing any is it possible that it could cause a problem. I notice this stuff on plants outside and know it's sort of just present in the environment so I would guess in very small amounts it is harmless. Would love an update from you on this and to know if you found out anything new from doing this yourself.
Thanks,
Melissa
