Preventative maintenance on late flowering outdoors for mold/pm ...

[MediScrogs]

Hey, my plants are not sick ... but I have a couple outdoors that are in early to mid-late flowering.

I've never grown outdoors.

Here in Oregon it will generally start to cool, have cold/humid mornings around 50-46* F and 70+% humidity for at least a couple hours, and there may be periods of rain that occur as well.

My harvest date is probably around late October, and another heading into November.

I've seen a sticky from JM about Serenade here on the site, a bacteriologically based spray to treat/prevent pm and botyris.
Are a lot of people using this, like routine (everyday?) or using other things? Good or a must to spray them everyday? I'm just now starting to think that I should have something lined up for the change in season that seems to be in progress.

I've never grown an outdoor plant, and I don't want to lose what's on the way here at the end.
Late start on the season--was not sure I would be growing anything, let alone outdoors.

The grow is in my sig if you want to see the plants.
Thanks

Hey 'Scrog's-- Serenade is effective stuff, but stinks to high hell! SO not what you want on your buds .... I hear you on the mold potential, and that combo of temps/high RH is a strong promoter,... trouble is, it's the buds now, not leaves, so residues are an issue; also, the density makes a big difference too, much more susceptible because of the close spaces, no air movement... Hmmm, there is another bacterial product called Actinovate, which is pretty much odorless, but I honestly don't have any input on it's use as mold prevention on buds proper,... I'll ask around, but with OD's, there's no controlling these environmental things! I'm OD's too, so I know what a butt clincher it is!

Thanks, Waira, he he, I figured you'd understand. You never use any of these on your OD? I've been doing some searching and the Actinovate has come up a number of times. Kinda hesitant to spray anything on the buds but I'll consider putting some on the shelf for the what if's. Otherwise I'll keep my eye on the weather forecasts and consider moving them into the shed or the garage overnight if there's going to be rain.

Thanks again for the input. After more searching, seems agreed that Serenade is stinky. Thanks, bro
