Aw'right Joe,thanks for looking in.:watchplant:
Well I have got a touch of lsf with 3 girls so am just now spraying with myclobutanil 0.075 g/l but will be careful to avoid the forming buds as I've only used this in veg and don't know if it will harm the pistils the plants have atm but no worries really as its early days in terms of bud production.
I do have trichoderma powder but did'nt bloody well use it this time around so I've only myself to blame and not some non sentient bit of fungus.
My bad! :angrywife:
STS reapplied today after the initial spray 7 days ago.

Hi Thorn,
lsf is leaf spot fungus.If folk arent familiar with it it can be a right pain as you can be doing everything right and the plant is deteriorating before your eyes starting on the large fan leaves and gradually spreading but it doesnt usually kill the plant but does reduce yield,depending on how much the infection has spread.
In nature,fungi have an intimate relationship with many species of plants,some of which are harmful,others beneficial,and leaf spot fungus is a general term for various types of these harmful pathogens but the beneficial ones called v.a.m.s. or vesicular arbuscular myccorhiza's and trichoderma's can have a symbiotic relationship with a plant meaning the host plant acts as a home and in return it gets nourshment or protection from pathogenic fungi.
You could innoculate an acorn with a beneficial trichoderma and 600 years later at the top of the tree every leaf has an interconnected trichoderma network within it which prevents harmful fungi from entering.
The v.a.m.s can act as an interface between compost and root system and effectively help to feed the plant as they grow nodules along the root length which interact with the whole rhizosphere,which is your compost at the fungal level.
I sprayed 3 of my girls yesterday and I see others today are starting to be affected so will be spraying more and I'll get some more pics up of the worst affected leaves.
It's a right bitch is lsf but I've only myself to blame as I have beneficial trichoderma's but did'nt knock up a batch for treatment.(Rockster tries to kick own arse!)
The preparation is done by putting molasses in a bucket of water with the trichoderma powder and bubbling with an airstone overnight which activates the spores and the bucket is flowing over with foam come morning like an exploded washine machine!
The solution is then applied using a watering can with a coarse,not a fine rose on the end as the hyphae (little spikes that penetrate a leafs surface)will break off and become useless so they are never sprayed but dripped over a plant.
The spores attach to the leaf via the hyphae and then part of it enters the plant and starts to go through the plant tissues which innoculates it as then harmful fungi cannot enter.
There ya go,a few pics for Thorn.
Nasty eh?

trichoderma powder i use cannas stuff which doesnt have to be mixed with molasses just applied to leaves.
i do it this way after mixing in mister and it blocking up i learnt the hard way.
lol
just mix 1gm per litre water and add to soil and odd splashing about on the plant with a cloth of spong.
clears up in a few days inho with canna stuff.
rh is the key afterwards to prevent it again.

Aw'right Joe,thanks for the trichoderma info and that sounds far more civilised and a lot less hassle for sure!
A few pics of the cheese clones at 23 days 12/12.
There's been another affected by lsf but have run out of spray to treat 'em with so it's down to the local garden centre tomorrow to stock up.
Also quite a bit of variation in feed requirements with some but not all paling a bit so have upped Bio Bizz Grow a tad.:watchplant:

Cheers Hydro Soldier,
Day 27 flowering.
A few pics of the 2 seeded Cheese clones.
Had a 14.9c low temp issue but thats sorted,central heating had shut off for room for a week so a couple of plants have slightly excessively red stems but no worries.
