I like ACV. I spray that stuff everywhere as a cleaner. It reeks but the smell goes away soon, and leaves a film (w/ the mother & acetic acids) that keeps fungus from growing. Kills PM too, and is natural like citric acid.

You could dunk the smaller clones upside down in a more concentrated solution of diluted apple cider vinegar (or citric acid water, etc) and rub all the leaves to really smear it in, for a much better application than spraying. Don't make it too strong though, be careful. That stuff will strip the mildew right off your shower walls, or the foot fungus right out from between your toes, lol.

You can't really do much once your in flower, without coating buds with anything. Even if you only spray the leaves the best you can, there's still gonna be mildew ending up in the buds, even if you don't see it. That's the main reason to start over I guess... If your in veg, it might be worth fighting for?

Can you give me the dose of the ACV you use?

What does PM do to you if smoked? I never seen any on the buds only the leaves and a minimum amount.

Filtering all your intake ports with HEPA grade air purifier filters works pretty good, as a preventative anyway. Can't have PM spores germinating on the leaves when fresh incoming filtered air is always being blown at them. Like being in a laminar flow hood in a way.

Once you get it though, any air movement (even filtered to 99.99%) will just keep blowing it around, creating an endless cycle. Its almost not worth the battle, and better to start fresh, keeping it from ever happening. IMO..

very good point. Even with great airflow and having PM. It’ll get blown around and keep coming back. That Was my issue. I cut all my fans and cleaned everything. And started fresh. I haven’t seen it since.

Think outside the box. While you try to fix the PM issues can you start some new seeds for an outdoor gorilla grow?

Just makes for a bad crappy tasting/smelling product. It will destroy your grow if you don't do anything, and leeches off the food that should be going to the flowers.. literally growing a mycelium network into the leaves. Its not as bad as smoking other molds I guess, but not good either. PM is mostly harmless to humans if I remember right, unless your allergic or something. I think its a different kind than other PMs too, and is the same kind that grows on hops...

Not during flower. Just peroxide rinse after you chop. But before running anymore plants I recommend it. Gets in places you’d never spay.

PM is not systemic. Your environment needs to be fixed.

My plants are in tents in my basement. The basement is 66 degrees and 48% humidity in the winter... This PM just started and I barely sprayed my plants bc they were in flower when I caught it.

Are your plants set directly on the concrete floor or are a pad of insulation on top of the concrete floor?

Thanks how late in flowering can you spray? Also can you spray these on cuttings right away and how often? ... Will spraying these on cuttings in rockwool mess up the rockwool ph or whatever? ... Been using athena IPM
