Hydroliq will soon be available at hydroponic.co.za I'm really keen to give it a try looks like a very interesting product for PM prevention and cure

Best & worst grow. Bay11 last year, about half way through flowering when the pics were taken.

Lost 90% due to mold in the buds while it was still growing :( Humidity was just too high last year

@Jimmy-z thank you so much for taking the time to reply I’ll give those nutes a shot and grab a meter while at it, do you have any tips on how I could increase my gram/watt ratio for future grows as I really want nice nice nice uniform buds so I will be using a screen but there is much I don’t know. Any advice would be much appreciated.
 
thanks

I used it in my very first soil & autopot grow. Works very well & you can add a lot before it burns your plants.

I would suggest getting a ppm/ec meter to properly monitor your nutrient concentration if you dont already have one.

I've used Gewinn-tech. He's alright. Haven't used the light much, tbh

Try copper soap, it's worked with my last grow & its non-systemic. I've found that baking soda only helps for a short time & the PM eventually comes back if the humidity doesn't drop.

Im looking for a few Autopots XL 

It's in my flowering tent, humidity around 27%. From what I read powdered mildew is caused by dry warm areas.

When I was at the coast, I never had PM, so this is new to me. Plans got a little burn from the peroxide, but nothing major. Leaves seemed to have cleared up and I thought it was gone. I should've climbed in with the loupe sooner.

Thanks [mention=749]Jimmy-z[/mention], that helps a lot.
So as far as I understand then, I'll use the calcs from the spreadsheet at https://hydroponic.co.za/detailed-dosage-breakdown-element-ppm-npk-ratio-hortimix-andor-ehg/. Aim for ~1000ppm at pre flower and work out the weekly dosage to build up to that.
But does that mean for flowering I should be aiming for ~2000ppm?
 

I don't even place them in a humidity dome.

Resurrecting this thread... What dosage & schedule should I be following for using hortimix for soil?
[mention=1920]RedEye[/mention] you say don't follow their guide, what do you recommend then?
So far what I've been told/seen is this, let me know if any of this is wrong?

• Mix as per https://hydroponic.co.za/hortimix-nutrient-preparation-and-usage-table/
• Do flush with water every 3 weeks - 1 month
• Weekly dosing, roughly following the guide above, but back off if there is any burning (checking Ph of mix before watering)

What do you think, does that sound reasonable?

I know someone who has ordered and got all auto's when they were meant to be photo's

Would love for this to be normal yellowing, but it seems to have spread quite a bit, and I'm only about 4 weeks into flowering. Here's some more images to show the spread of the yellowing.

 

It's normal. Old leaves turn yellow & drop off, moreso when flowering starts. As long as the rest of the plant looks healthy, then u have nothing to worry about.

Also, would one really need to flush the plant before harvest. If only "organic-brews" were used during the plants life cycle. 

How dry is the medium when you water? Which potting mix?

Are you feeding any nutrients?

A pic would help.

I've seen grows in perlite only, so I'd guess one of those questions above is where the problem is.

Edit: Some potting mixes contain added fertilizers, stay far away from them, they're likely to burn the crap out of your plants.

@Jimmy-z For now I only have 1 x tent to grow in, so I’m doing autos. Just bought 3 x auto seeds for R60 each from biltong and budz. I also have a super lemon haze from germinating atm as well as some bagseed from a greenhouse grow that hit pollen from somewhere. Females were Buddha cheese and Northern lights so it might produce ok bud. 

Space is a bit of a problem normally so I will have to see if I’m ever going to have space for a mother 

id rather just buy clones but eBay is fresh out of stock

There's always the seed/clone exchange. I don't have any issue giving away clones either as it's practice for me; and if I have good genetics, like the Bay 11, it keeps the strain alive, since I won't be able to afford those seeds easily again. Basically paying it forward.

10 x auto seeds = R1800.00 ex postage

[mention=749]Jimmy-z[/mention] thats not bad going lol. I’m sure they are awesome but I don’t want to drop 1500 for learning to grow hahahhaa

[mention=749]Jimmy-z[/mention] yeah, it’s funny as we (mate and I order together) had a chat this am as I was looking to buy and had looked at cannabisseeds.co.za but they want you to take a 2nd bond in your house to get some bud. We changed to cape ape seeds after gsr didn’t work out and they delivered. 
I just ordered a test order from the Biltong shop. So I’ll see if that arrives.
 
guess we just have to find what works for us. 
Wish there was a clone bank lol

Sadly we ordered from GSR and received nothing. So henceforth it will be other banks. 
 

What's your growing medium? What are you feeding? If it's promix, did you buffer it? How old is the plant?

I got these from takealot a while back. Cheap, but it works. I tested our tap water, & both the pen & drops confirm 6.5

Well they kinda did get root bound due to not transplanting soon enought, it's only the single GDP plant with those deformities. I started this grow on the 9th december, so they'e almost 7 weeks veg roughly. I will be taking clones of all the plants this coming weekend and most likely give them another 2 or 3 weeks and push straight into preflower to sex them (I have regulars mixed in there).

Thanks, one of the grand daddy's looks like a red headed step child. I am contemplating culling it. Its deformities are just pissing me off
