Pardon me, Larry, but that is the opposite of what I have read. Lemon juice is an acid, and I've read that you want a base application. If you spray with a substance that has a pH of over 7, that is what will keep the spores from growing. Maybe an acid spray will help too, I don't know, and have never read that.

I've also used powdered milk in a diluted spray when close to harvest, and I understand that it is slightly acidic. It provides a very temporary fix.

The first place I heard it was from Sub Cool's friend Dave {from the Garden of Weeden} on the Weed Nerd videos. Since then I have heard it in several more times, most on here. I did use it on my Hurricane Head {FP} last year. Saw a little PM and sprayed it twice a week until harvest. Only saw one more small spot on it.

I thought it was residue from the greenhouse plastic dripping but idk now
looks like pm to me.i use two different poducts.green cure and 'pm remover' alternatively.both similar but slightly different.im strictly outdoors dont know about the burners but have had luck slowing it down with these two products.it will flare up once conditions are right for pm again.another way to fight pm is horsetail(its a dried herb also called shavegrass) it needs to be boiled for awhile then strained and cooled.damn,a member gave me instructions last season,something about wanting a film on top.ill have to look.the shavegrass is also supposed to help with trich production.amazon has it

ok @Fastslappy helped with the horsetail instructions. he boils for 15mins then simmers,for hours with LID ON. a brown/yellowish film will occur(essential oils) then he cools and uses.lasts a couple days in the fridge. i never got around to trying it,but have a bag in my arsenal ready for use

Does this look like PM?
I sprayed with serenade this evening
I don't see anything that appears to be fungus. It's easiest to get a magnifying glass or loupe and get a close-up look at what you've got. If it's a fungus, you can see that it's growing on the leaf surface.

I did not like using that smelly Serenade, and got better results on PM by using potassium bicarb.
