The weathers been so cruddy I haven't given the green-to much attention, Went out and took a couple pics last night at sundown, My chemdawg got a little powdery mildew on a couple leaves, I mixed 1 tablespoon of bakeing soda in a gallon of water and added a teaspoon of very light dishsoap and sprayed all the plants, I used a soft cloth and got it all off. last year the rhody's even had it. I found out that the local farmers even get it on the broccoli if not sprayed, hmmmm, The university of Wash. has a agricultural extension of the campus in Mount Vernon Wa. They are just full of info about plant problems, and they love to help. Anyway here's a couple pics of the chemdawg, I've got C99 in here also, off to puget sound crabbing, cya..

Gonna start a little journal of this years backyard grow, Right now i have ChemDawg, Cinderella 99, and DutchTreat in the ground. I've got 3 or 4 of the different BLZ phenos going good in 5 gal. buckets also, I may have to make some hash, this last semi perpetual really filled the coffers,had a real successful cure following Simons hygrometer numbers, and the Mazzar DT C99 and BLZ are just great smokes, the C99 is just at 65,she is so sweet, I'll be burping her again Monday. I'm gonna ask a web guru to move my stuff from hicks TEST thread to here.

Does this baby have southern exposure?
No it doesn't, but it's in the only place I could put it, The direct sun doesn't hit it till about 11:30 am, but I've got no choice, I've grown many sucessful plants in the spot, real good smoke with real decent yields, I've gotton close to a pound per plant,during GOOD summers, I gotta wonder what and if, if I had Southern Exposure, but because of security reasons it can't happen.

Looks nice Skag. The spray should do the trick. In roses with PM, they have done tests about water only, a hard spray in the mornings, and it worked. Isn't that weird?
I took master gardners at WSU for three years and loved it, you would enjoy the classes. I hope summer gets there and stays.

What kind of soil supplements are you using?
During the winter I bury a few fish carcasses, and mix both chicken and cow manure compost in all the flower beds, we don't get any real winter here in the sound, very little freeze or snow. I think I'm gonna start useing soybean meal after reading cheflovelle organic thread. In the green-to I used some bloodmeal, alfalfa meal, and a little lime. I bought some stuff for powdery mildew yesterday, instead of sodium bicarbonate, it's Potassium bicorbanate, We'll see!!!, The PM really likes the C99!!!! none on the Dutch Treat, and a spot outside on 1 chemdog, bummer.

Morning Skagit, Do you have any Fans to move air around in the green-to? If not hook one or two up in there circulating air should help keep the PM at bay.

Bad case of CRS, man I keep forgetting to box it in, thanks for the reminder!! Kinda had a bad day weather wise friday, and opened the doors to the green-to and put my potted stuff under shelter!! Bought a hand truck at a yard sale for 4 bucks and modified it to move the 20 gallon pots.

most everythings over 7 feet, did some early LST ing and filled her up. I'm running two fans 24/7 and just keeping the two big 5x8 front doors open, the plant to the left of the thermometer is Chem dog, I love smoking it, hopefully it finishes real good and gives me that taste i'm after, I've been moveing my 12 and 20 gallon pots under the propped open doors, the dews really setting on the plants at night, deep saturation of the outside stuff!!! If its foggy or overcast they don't dry out and bud rot sets in. I've been moveing everything back and forth.
