    Urgent (to me) . Mould around wound on outdoor plant

    Hi,

    this is from my current (first) outdoor grow. Plants in 10 gallon pots with bottom half super soil mix. this plant is a Black Amnesia Haze Fast. all was going great until yesterday when the branch as seen in photo started to die. the history is that when training, likely 3 weeks ago, i caused a split at the top where it had been topped. i taped it back together and she kept going great. yesterday one of the branches started to die, and when i looked, it seemed as if the wound had opened. we have had mucho wind recently here in Nova Scotia, so i assumed that was the cuplprit. next time i will look at reinforcing if it happens. But - when i looked today, there is mildew or mold, not only on the dying branch but the other one. It wa under the tape that I likely should have removed awhile ago. Many nice colas on that baby that will be lost in addition to already lost. . see the photo. I am hoping for someone to give me an idea of how to save the adjacent branch, kill the mold and save it. I am about to do some research as well, but dont recall seeing this one.

    A happy Canuk. this grow will be using Flora Flex nutrients in coco/perlite. 9 plants in 3 by 3 tent and 8 plants in 2 by 4, in 1 or 2 gallon pots (whatevere is there). manual fertigation planned. veg till around 1 ft high. 2 by 4 tent light is Bloom Plus 2500 and 3 by 3 tent has Mar Hydro Ts3000, both of which seem awesome.

    Huh well this is a problem but have you tried to clean/wipe the area with a dry paper towel wipe it off? She just may have a internal virus now like bacterial infection and it's running through the plant is the plant branches mushy when you squeeze it? Do you see a abcess on the branches? I'm thinking she's looking like she's giving up?

      In the lost posts I think it was Toker1 that posted 3 fungus options, all were end of plant, I think before I killed it I would try hydrogen peroxide 50/50 with water, then if need be cut it off below the bad and hope.

      Edit here's a link to one of them and may be the one here

        Hmm. I’m not really sure about the fungus options. I would try to wipe it out with hydrogen peroxide first. If that didn’t work I would try a very acidic ph solution. Possibly neem oil if not in flower stage.
        Lastly, I hear milk has enzymes that will devour fungus like this. Only, I have never tried it. Milk can leave a foul odor if not cleaned properly a day or two after application.

      I sense an amputation in the near future.
      Have to agree with Rwise, remove the damaged branch and sterilize as best as you can.

        I am going to have a fruit tree tested for this, the tree has never made fruit, just dried up gray things. If it is, the I'll cut it down burn it, and cover the ground with black plastic.

          hi folks,

          thanks for the suggestions. from looking this morning, the bad branch is gone, so she's gonna be cut. i will try hydrogen peroxide. it sure seems as if the tape kept her damp, leading to the fingus. Darn. amputation, disinfecting, and hope.

              Hi,

              Sorry for the delay. been swept up in a lot of stuff. I cut off the branch, and then noticed how far it had split, quite a ways. i then wiped it down with acohol ( afew days later - peroxide), and the remaining top other side is still alive. however, it shows definite signs of stress, losing its leaves pretty regularly. photos show whats left and showing it's yellowing colour. the bad part is that it has had bud rot in quite a few places, so i think i will cut her down in the next day. 3 of my 4 plants got it. got it, but it has been really cool and moist here with fog every night. even covered, they had many days where drying was limited/ The 1st photo is a blurry one of the wound. The leaves on the remaining branch are yellowing gradually more so than on healthy branches. anyone willing to comment on whether this is ready to pick?- see microscope photo.. thanks for the advice earlier.
              see the split, and the mould growing, despite using peroxide and alcohol. . see the yellowing leaves are on the remaining top branch after removal of dead one. not getting enough power for flowers and leaves - and glad of that.

              I had this same problem but not quite as bad. I smothered the mouldy injury with olive oil and the plant has totally recovered. I'm on the west coast so humidity is climbing this time of year. Last year at this time I lost everything to bortrytis so I took all 4 into the shed with lots of lighting and they are doing very well. Should be time to harvest in a couple of weeks
