Hey Growmies,
It's time once again for another episode of Moldsville!
Actually, it's pretty much a rerun of a past episode... Blueberry's Bud Rot.
Friday, the Grape Ape had hardly any detectable bud rot (1 or 2 spots).
Sunday I had to harvest early. This was a salvage harvest. Bud rot was all over the place – crazy rapid onset.
I will likely grow Grape Ape again from one of the clones, and this time I'll pay a lot more attention to her, including inoculating the soil with some beneficial bacteria and trichoderma, and using a 15 gal fabric pot. Stay tuned!
This result from Grape Ape happened even though we've been having plenty of sunshine. Blueberry on the other hand was harvested during a rainy period.
Here's tonight's harvest report for Grape Ape...
Grape Ape (90% indica)
category score Leaf mold resistance* (low, med, high): med 2 Bud rot resistance* (low, med, high): low- 0.5 Bug resistance (low, med, high): med+ 2.5 Resin production (low, med, high): med 2 Fragrance: subtle, sweet, cheese -- Harvest status (minus, neutral, plus): minus
harvested early due to bud rot1 Yield (low, med, high): med
ignoring the rot2 Overall rating: 10/18 = 56%
* Low and med resistance implies peroxide or some other foliar spray was used on leaves and/or buds.
Top colas (left), and all that was salvaged from them (top right). Threw out about 90% of buds. It was mostly just the start of bud rot, but it was everywhere... just not worth messing with.
Grape Ape Terpenes
Grape Ape (90% indica): myrcene; others - pinene, caryophyllene, limonene.
Compared to Blueberry...
Blueberry (80% indica): myrcene; others - pinene, bisabolol, caryophyllene, terpineol, limonene, linalool.
Compared to indica landraces...
Afghani (indica): myrcene; others - terpinolene, pinene, caryophyllene, limonene.Nepalese (indica): myrcene; others - caryophyllene, limonene.Hindu Kush (indica): limonene; -or- close mix of dominance - caryophyllene, myrcene, humulene, limonene. (One source says limonene dominant, followed by caryophyllene, carene, pinene, linalool and ocimene.)
Wow seems like you have a hard case every other time. Must be the conditions where you grow; is it high humidity? Like 80% and up?
How are your findings using the several teas and methods to prevent or kill spores?
Thanks for sharing.
