OK another learning expierence of growing.....Powdery Mildew!:cuss:

Well as you all know I already had to cull 2 plants because of Powdery Mildew. I did some reading in my (Marijuana Horticulture The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible by Jorge Cervantes) book and looked up some home remedies for battle Powdery Mildew. I came to realize that my tent temps are just fine! Its my Veg Box thats has the mildew problem. I didnt have any fresh air getting into the box, I figured the small fans inside was fine. Well it wasnt cause Powdery Mildew comes from stale air which my veg box was a stale MO-FO! But thats fixed now too. BC added my 4" In Line Booster fan exhausting the Veg Box an now I have a fan also pulling air into the box so there is good circulation.

Here is what I did with R.Ed Kush plant.

1st I made the Spray Mix which was the following: ( 1tblsp Baking Soda / 2 tblsp of Dish Soap mixed in 1 gal of tap water) I mixed it up for about 10 minutes, it was a bitch cause of the soap making bubbles....LOL

(Before Spray...there are little spots that is the Powdery Mildew!!!)

P3050034.jpg

Next I took the mix and poured into a CLEAN Spray Bottle.
Then I took the plant and sprayed the whole EFIN plant! I mean the whole plant even under all the leaves.
(After I Sprayed the whole plant)

P3050039.jpg

Finally I took the plant after spraying and put her in front of a fan to dry before putting her back in the tent and under the HPS!!!

I was reall digging the shadow of her on the closet door!!!

Now here is what I learned about Baking Soda which was awesome for me but I am sure a lot of you out there knew this already:

Baking Soda Ingredients: Sodium bicarbonate Contols: Powdery Mildew.
Baking Soda kills fungus by changing the pH of foliage surface. It functions as a fungistat, not as a fungicide, that eradicates the organisms. I hope this works and I can get rid of the Powdery Mildew.
Apply once a day for one to three days or as needed.

Well let me know if anyone else out there might have some input or expierence dealing with Powdery Mildew. I am open to any advice, I am here to learn and become proficient in growing so chime in and help please.:dunce:

Next update is going to be nice.... ~Jack~ is going into FLowering!!!:-P

Peace All

Cool, so looks like they'll replace them with the next order.

Man I hope that Tx works to control the mildew. PM is bad here during the rainy season (April'ish) outdoors but never had to deal with it on a flowering plant.

Yeah a lesson learned for sure...I hope it works too cause I dont want to cull that baby!!!! But dont get me wrong if it becomes a out of control problem I will cull everything if I have too! So lets hope it works. I am going to apply another spray tomorrow. My tent temps today were perfect and it was a hot day outside. They were 81F and 20%rH!!!!! So my tent enviroment is dialed in now!!!! No reason for any PM to survive in there cause of the enviroment. Now I just got to do all my plants in there. I dont want to risk it spreading on them all especially with my Herojuana OG and now the Jack is going in too.

Peace

Im Flippin the switch on her NOW!!!!

Well its finally time to start the clock on my Jack Herer. Time to flower that lovely lady. My Jack Herer was donated to me from Bajafox(MUCHO GRACIAS). I vegged her for 8 weeks, she has been Sup Crop'd, Top'd, LST'd and Cloned during that time. I really fell in love with this plant and I waited for this day specifically for personal reasons. I know some of you been waiting just like me to get this baby rocking on 12/12. I Made It Rain on her today and fed her (2 tsp GB/2 tblsp BB/1 tsp EJ/Molasses). My Jack Herer's name is now :leaf:"Nancy":leaf:!!! Nancy is going to be right in the middle and approximately 14" away from the HPS bulb. I am going to try to get nice dense, fat, gi-normous size buds!!! I am really shooting for the stars on Nancy! So lets see what Nancy can do in Flowering. Any early guesses on what I will yield dry with Nancy:?::?::?:

Jack Herer aka: :leaf:NANCY:leaf:

Well lets see how Nancy goes during Flowering, I am so friggin excited about it now! Plus I got 2 rooted clones of Nancy.

Peace

Nancy is a fine healthy looking plant ! I'm sure she will do you proud ! Hope you beat the PM , I used a knockout spray it effing burned 2 of my plants but sulpher works everytime . I did't want to screw around with it anymore and since then my humidity has been in the 30's and temp above 70 so it didn't come back.

KOQ what i dont understand is that my temps in my tent are so perfect and this shit is still around. I read up on something about Evaporating Sulpher but wouldnt know where to go to get it. Also dont know much about it but if you got any info please help on the Sulpher. I am open to all ideas to get rid of this problem. The bad part of Powdery Mildew is that its in the plants system 1 week prior to showing any signs of spots on leaves. So any input on what and how to use the sulpher please let me know. Thanks

Peace

Looking good w/ the cloning man. Oh by the way, the MD cutting I took rooted vigorously - super easy to clone:

Neem oil is popular here for treating PM outdoors... some of your infected plants are flowering though aren't they?

I'm getting my beneficial microbes from both ZHO (fungus) and Hydroguard (bacteria). But I'd try the ZHO first as I think it has the most dramatic impact on root appearance and you can get a small pack of it for about $5 - which is more than enough to just get an idea about how you like it.

The ZHO is some bomb ass stuff IMO, just out of my budget at the moment. That hydroguard sounds like the aquashield that I use though

AquaShield is the new name for Hydroguard actually - same product. Thanks for bringing that up because I should be calling it AquaShield. lol

But yeah, I'm sold on using beneficial microbes. My buckets also now have this rich, earthy, compost smell when I crack the lids - curious how that is going to impact taste.

Are you using the Rhizo by ZHO? If so, I might just have to go get some?

Need help folks!!!!!

My R.Ed Kush plant that I treated for Powdery Mildew is looking sweet right now, so I decided that I was going to treat all my plants one day at a time. So today I MIR on MD#2 and fed her nutes and then I sprayed the shit out of her just like my R.Ed Kush plant. Only ONE HUGE FUCKING PROBLEM!!!! After I was done and put MD#2 in front of the box fans for 30 mintes drying before going back under the lights, I noticed that all her bud sites turn Orangish> I dont know WTF and why this happened. Any ideas? Did the same exact thing as I did yesterday with the other plant and now because I wanted to do it to all the plants as a "Just in case" My plant is all orange and shitty looking. HELP, do I need to just cull this one and cut my loses? Help or advice needed please!!!

R.Ed Kush today after being treated yesterday....looks nice and no signs of PM!!!!

P3060028.jpg

MD#2 after drying from same spray treatment as R.Ed Kush!!! WTF?????
Mixed 1 tablespoon of Baking Soda and 2 tablespoons of Dishsoap in 1 gallon of water!!! Then Sprayed and she looks cooked as fuck!!!!!:wall:

That's why I was asking earlier if any of the plants you were treating were already flowering - was going to warn you about that (I've done the same thing with Neem oil). =/

But if only the pistils are affected, don't panic. It's just cosmetic damage as far as I know.

Never heard of Baking Soda for PM. If I knew you had a PM problem, here's the solution. Mist with 1:9 Milk:Water. The diluted milk kills the PM. RM3 tip. I have a DIY on a Sulfur Burner too. That alkaline solution may have dried those hairs.
