Budding and powdery mildew

[Iheartoregon]

Well, it appears I have a mildew problem . It’s not toooo bad, but I wanna try to stop it before it really gets to budding more.

for some reason my search function isn’t working when I try to type it in, so I’m sorry for posting on the topic for the 836362nd time.

if I remember correctly it’s a mixture of milk and water? And then trying to do it before a rainso that would potentially rinse the milk Off?

completely lost and all help is appreciated. I’ve included pictures below.

thank you!

The idea is to change the ph
So a citrus spray changes it without the sour milk deposits

Good to know! Makes sense. Do you have any suggestion for a good citrusy spray? Or where to start?

 

[farmerfischer]

Citric acid used for pickling

 

[farmerfischer]

Or buy mixed sprays from the garden section at any box store.. or hydro store..

 

[farmerfischer]

Southern AG citrus spray..
Milliard citric acid

 

[Iheartoregon]

Alright I’ll probably just hit up the grow store and see what they suggest. I appreciate the help. It should be able to be resolved without doing any damage don’t you think?

 

[Iheartoregon]

I have like ph up and ph down with a tester. Should I just with that to make sure that I’ve got the ph at the right level, or does it need to be sprayed directly onto the leaves?

 

[farmerfischer]

the premixed spray should be ready to go. And can be sprayed directly on the whole plant..
The powderd citric acid for pickling you can find the recipe on here somewhere or google.

I'd stick with RIU on the help & suggestions.
The hydro shop is just going to sell you 12 things you don't need by asking about one issue.

Yeah that’s kinda how I feel which is why I came here first. I’ll have to do some research about what is above. I’m all open to suggestions though. So trying to regulate the ph using ph up and ph down won’t resolve the issue?

The enzymes in the milk supposed to destroy the fungus, and change the ph as well.
I've heard mixed results. There's something about leaving the milk in the sun for an hour before using it..... Not sure exactly. I've had better luck with sulphur dust, sulphur/copper spray, Athena IPM spray (which does have citric acid and enzymes among other stuff). Air circulation is key. Removing anything that stays wet/damp. Planting next to a cedar fence generally bad news as the wood holds alot of moisture for an extended time and blocks the wind.

 

[HydoDan]

Baking soda and dish soap works well.. 3 tbls per gal.

 

[Jjgrow420]

Potassium bicarbonate(millstop). Baking soda has sodium but it works in a pinch

 

[Racky]

Used 1/3 cup of milk to 2/3 water. Wait and rinse with regular water

Personally use 3% H2O2 as a drenching foliar. Alternately with copper oxide base fungicide. Milk thing is smelly. Although it seems to have biological factor involved. And the PH imbalance is very short lived. The H2O2 becomes oxygenated water and can quench molds thirst. While aiding growth. The copper adheres to the leaf if a wetting agent, soap, is involved. It takes more than a one point attack. If defending you are late.

I’m using the Athena IPM currently. Been using it for 10 days now. It spammed the minor PM I had on the lower part of my thug pug I have outside & ain’t seen a sign of it since. First 2 applications I did back to back, and then every 3rd day going forward.
Well worth the free-99 ticket lol

It's actually really good stuff. But it's expensive. Smells like weird wet cinnamon hearts or something aye. I've mentioned it in the past but you know some guys like to diy and say why buy that just diy. Neways I recommend it to any of my friends who ask. It's really an all around IPM spray and great for dunks.

My friend had great results with geranium oil. Just saying
