Thanks, yeah it did. They were autoflowers thankfully so I only lost like 3 months of time but it still stung having to trash it all. How's the humidity where you are? I learned that botrytis needs three things to attack your plant:

  1. a host (the strawberries)
  2. an initial food supply. an open wound on the plant is all it takes.
  3. this is the big one, and the one i was warned about but ignored, HUMIDITY. I'm on the east coast and it got incredibly humid last summer.

As long as you can control for 2 of the 3 you should keep the mold at bay. I built a cheapo cage out of 1x2s and window screening to keep out the moths, as well as some some outdoor rated fans to help with the humidity. The strains I've grown so far definitely need defoliation so I can't do much about not having open wounds on the plant. I've found college extension websites to be a very reliable source of free information if you want to do some reading!

This is my second outdoor season as well. Last year i lost 5 big plants to grey mold (botrytis), I believe from a combination of caterpillars and wild strawberries nearby.

Also, I don't know how long you've been growing but, when I first started I killed about 15 plants before they even germinated by using the wrong water. Our well water was apparently killing seeds and I had to switch to distilled water for germination. No problems since then.

She looks pretty healthy, on the plus side. Hopefully you get a nice yield for your efforts. Godspeed soldier!

Naw, the industry basically self-regulated itself out of mixing alcohol and caffeine after all the Four Loko incidents. The labeling is just for brand loyalists or something now, idk

AFAIK that only happens in the US due to tax/age restriction reasons. https://youtu.be/7o2dILl8Fhc

I can't tell if you're being serious or if you're leaning into the joke bc here in america they take all of the alcohol out of kombucha so both drinks would be intoxicating anywhere else

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of male human and female Pokémon breeding, Vaporeon is the most compatible Pokémon for humans? Not only are they in the field egg group, which is mostly comprised of mammals, Vaporeon are an average of 3"03' tall and 63.9 pounds, this means they're large enough to be able handle human dicks, and with their impressive Base Stats for HP and access to Acid Armor, you can be rough with one. Due to their mostly water based biology, there's no doubt in my mind that an aroused Vaporeon would be incredibly wet, so wet that you could easily have sex with one for hours without getting sore. They can also learn the moves Attract, Baby-Doll Eyes, Captivate, Charm, and Tail Whip, along with not having fur to hide nipples, so it'd be incredibly easy for one to get you in the mood. With their abilities Water Absorb and Hydration, they can easily recover from fatigue with enough water. No other Pokémon comes close to this level of compatibility. Also, fun fact, if you pull out enough, you can make your Vaporeon turn white. Vaporeon is literally built for human dick. Ungodly defense stat+high HP pool+Acid Armor means it can take cock all day, all shapes and sizes and still come for more
