Foggers-Fighting PM

Seems it's that time of year again, PM striking everywhere.

Thanks to the gov, we cant get sulphur candles any longer.

[h=1]Fungaflor TR fogger has anyone tried these around flowering plants? Very limited info that I could find.[/h]
I have access to a fogger, but could you use something like Fungicide 3 in it?

Thanks Folks

not used a fogger but I suppose if nozzle size is large enough that the Neem doesn't clog it, I don't see why not. I'm sure some of the experts will post in soon

How about you try some Horse Tail tea? Get it from a health food store. Brew it up as directed and cool it down. Spray the plants and the media surface - viola, PM is gone! The plants LIKE it and it's natural!
If possible lower your humidity levels to 40%, that will help in controlling PM down the road.
Clean, clean, clean the whole area! Spray it down with a dilution of bleach. Walls, any surface you can! (not the plants) Tops of tents, everything!
Get or make a system that will filter the incoming air! Dustshroom, or make a sealed box that holds a HEPA filter for a furnace, to filter the incoming air!

good luck.

SCORE! Traded a little product for a 40 dehumid!

My grow is in a 16x12 cement block pump house, w/ 8x4 veg and 8x4 flower. I would really like to sulfur treat the place, but that aint happening.

That's why I was asking about the fungicide foggers. Have 2 stories, one says dont use, the other says yes, but no dirct contact. 3 ft clear area.

Anyone have any experience w/ the Fungaflor foggers?

Milk diluted 9:2 with water....

A basic understanding of molds and fungi will put many growers minds at ease, .. as you really can't do much about it, other than disrupt the surface that the mold/fungi/spore, .. lands on, whether it be done with milk, soap, acid or alkali or 'cement', ...lol at the end of the day, Pm is a bitch so getting ready for it is half the battle won, this time of year, rainstorms can hit any time with damp weather hanging around for weeks, arm yourself now with Neem Oil, it organic and puts an oily sheen on your plants and does not taste as bad as sulfur or some of those other chemicals, also does good protection from bugs

to my blog: https://www.rollitup.org/blogs/blog32238-neem-oil.html

Raining as we speak The dehumid is rockin 45% humid and dropping, 75-77 degrees. The dehumid throws a little heat and my oil radiator finally went off. I figured the first trench in this battle is getting my environment stable.

Just went thru and trimmed alot of the infected foliage off, and gave a good douching of Fungicide 3.

Still looking for a way to treat the grow house. Working out there now. (Cherry Bomb smells soooo good) will read up on the neem later.

Thanks folks

...as a rough guess I'd say that Neem Oil, saves 20-30% of my crop each year from the effects of shit weather, fungi/molds and bugs, as I mostly grow outside in a green house type situation

you are aware that Fungicide3 = 70% Neem oil?

Sulphur vaporizer and Eagle 20. Industry leaders despite naysayers.

it's amazing the amount of disinformation about sulfur around here...Course there is very little good information available either imo.

Because idiocracy prevents dissemination of quality information on the matter. Hence, naysayers.

You could roll a plant in PM spores prior to dipping with eagle 20 & chucking it in a 90% rh veg room and have no sign of PM growth for at least 15 days. Probably never if no new spores are introduced.

I was a noob once ..long ago, and used too much sulfur to be rid of Pm, shit got everywhere, I was tasting pissing and squeaking (S) for weeks, to this day I have trouble telling the difference under a HPS between (S) and Pm, .. lol lol, also tastes similar to mono-sodium glutamate, which I hate the taste of too, ...so I'll stick to my organic Neem Oil, although an acquired taste, does work ...lol

You can keep your neem.. gag

An undetectable amount of sulfur will get the job done in flower.

Neem severely screws up resin extraction. Sulfur not so much.

When you grow commercially you realize the effectiveness of sulfur.

I was gonna ask...is there anything worse than the taste of neem??

gag is right
'*fu*kn YUK!*

Wow, luv this place. Fung3 is holdin in there so far, I'll retreat in a couple days.

so far w/ dehumid running lights out 45% 72f, lights on 40% 80f.

Sucker is working, but really puts out the heat, and spins the electric meter pretty good.

Are these temps and humidity in the right ballpark to keep pm at bay?

Considering making my own sulfur candles, or a diy vap.

Has anyone had experience with the TR fogger, that's my quickest way to zap the grow house.

temps and rh sound good..what is your air circulation like?

How to Make Sulfur Candles
A sulphur candle is a large, sulfur-containing torch bucket used to fumigate and kill pests and fungal spores in greenhouses. They have also been used extensively as patio bug repellents. The acrid smoke from naturally-burning sulphur interferes with inset respiration and quickly clears the air. Though the ingredients of sulphur candles are quite plain and simple, they can be pricey. Homemade sulphur candles are a safe alternative to expensive and hard-to-get candles from greenhouse suppliers.

Instructions


Light a fire on an outdoor or camp stove. Note: this process cannot be performed indoors. Place a 5-quart dutch oven or stew pot on the fire.


Cut the candle wax into tablespoon-sized chunks with a heavy knife. Place the chunks in the pot and stir slowly with a wooden spoon, as the wax begins to melt.



Stir the hot wax continuously until it has fully melted and has the consistency of heavy syrup.

Stir in 8 ounces of pure sulphur powder and stir rapidly until it is fully incorporated.

Place the metal cans on a wooden board or workbench. Remove the pot from the heat and pour the wax mixture into the metal cans up to 1/2 inch from the top. Allow the tubs to cool for one hour.


While the wax is cooling, size the wooden wicks by standing a wick against the base of the metal can and cutting off the extension above the upper lip of the can. Wooden wicks are essential in sulphur candles to prevent the candle from self-extinguishing. Repeat this sizing process with the other wicks.


As the surface begins to solidify, insert the wooden wicks through metal wick tabs for all but 1 inch of their upper length. Insert the bottom end of the wicks into the candle, all the way to the bottom. Move the metal wick tab down until it is floating on the candle's surface.
