Hi to all OD members. Briefly, I have little experience cultivating cannabis. Started OD growing in 2012 with only 2 plants which were potted and growing on my balcony. Alas! they were lost to Botrytis. 2013 I tried again, this time with 5 plants. Kept the potted plants growing on my balcony then transfered them to my small garden. Yet again Botrytis attacked, although I tried to save them be continually cutting away the affected buds they still succumbed to Botrytis and that was that! 2014 started with 16 plants knowing from past experience that 1 or more would fall prey to Botrytis, and they did! I lost all plants. A friend came to my rescue and gave me 5 plants...3 turned out to be male which left me with 2. One has been attacked by Botrytis and the other seems to be fungus free. The attacked plant I managed to partially save after making drastic cuts below the affected buds. The same friend took me to see a plant which he has grown for me, it is 13 ft tall but I detected 3 small buds with Botrytis which we cut away. Hopefully I can harvest all 3 plants within the next few days. The buds I need to make medicinal oil. I would appreciate any advice you may wish to give me. I forgot to mention that next year I will be planting "Hollands Hope" .
