What do you "wet down the tent" with for PM?

Out of curiosity, do you use a silica product?
Yes I may be able to pick that one out as it kids grows like a vine and will be scattered about in this tent. The peony cages I used to calm them down have been more of a burden than anything now that they are in flower. I have a fuel pump with a wand to water underneath tho so that works at least. These plants were bent down 1-1/2 foot reaching the lights and smashed down under the net so I’m sure leaves are touching causing this PM so I need to work on that the next couple days. I’ve never had such a messy jangled up grow.
No but have been thinking about it tho. These plants were actually pretty limber and bendable being just inches from my light. What do you use for silica ?

You will undoubtedly get it straightened out.
I have two. The pots are marked you just have to do the maze thing to figure it out
I hope so. Mr Subbie kept them alive at least. I hope I don’t kill them now…

I haven’t used it yet but I bought Gro-Tek Pro Silica. I got it too late to help my outdoor grow this summer. I was wondering if bubba used it since he had conditions conducive to PM.
No, not specifically. Unless it is included in some of the myriad of nutes I use. They are centered around Advanced Nutrients products and beneficial tea. Today is tea day!
Oh, good it wont be mystery weed after all!

I have AN but didn’t get the Conniseur version. I don’t think there is Si in the base nutes.
I did hit my soil with Diatomaceous Earth when I was growing the Freaks last year and found that the stems seemed to stiffen up. No PM or bud rot last year but they were Freaks and very airy.
I found it a great plant, but the most needy. Hard to get good yield but it can be done. Not cut much looked nice, but crazy stretch and not that much yield. Then I scrogged one plant in a 2x4. It took up whole tent once it filled the net. Almost to floor and in light above. I hacked out below the net and mowed the top off at about 8 inchesabove the net and flipped it 12-12. it took a while but it yielded 3/4 lbs of buds, including smalls, but no pop corn or larf, that went to hash.
The other ones I topped early a couple times so I had 5 or 6 cola shoots and give it time. Best plant yielded 154 grams, including smalls, no pop corn or larf included.

That’s a pretty good yield compared to Putes last grow. That’s a nice looking plant. Mine will look nothing like that I’m sure as I’m crowded out as usual in my tent. Still hope to get some to try
No, just won’t know till the end
I think he is going to try to grow one "bush" style. It doesnt want to make huge colas, they look like they are, but at clean up, too much stick. So you end up with a lot of nice bud, not huge, but good sized not small. Bush style served it well. Im keeping as mother for now, but next grow back to the short and fat indicas.

Thats fine. I find myself throwing a lot of odd and end weed into the hash pile. I need to know what strain I am smoking.No, just won’t know till the end

we used Botnicare silica for a couple indoor cycles and never really noticed any difference in the plant whatsoever
so we dropped it from our schedule
