Mildew still around...

That bitch won't leave me alone... fml (shoutout to my clone factory )

I used Canna Cure and it worked decent when applied regularly, but now that the buds are getting dense and sticky, its hard to get rid of some of that sh*t.
I read that spraying them with a water / milk mixture would be gr8, since the bacteria feeds off the mildew, is that so?
Would anyone recommend doin it during flowering tho?

Any experiences?

Thx.

i tested milk/water down to a 1:4 ratio, some online experts say don't go below 1:8, but for me and outdoors the shit dont work. Maybe indoors it would work with the more controlled environ but outdoors milk/water is a fkn waste of money and heifer juice

Just curious but have you cleaned every item in the grow or were you just treating the plants?

Simple high PH water applied weekly keeps Powdery Mildew well under control outside.
Potassium Bicarbonate or Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda)
1 tablespoon per gallon of Warm Water Apply as a heavy spray. This brings my 8.5 PH hose water to well over 9.
Low PH Water supplies use 2 tablespoons per gallon

Just curious what are your temps and RH? All you can do is fight it while you have plants in bloom (potassium bicarb, h202, etc), you'll need to do a deep clean of everything in the grow room once you harvest to keep it from coming back. A decent HEPA air filter in your lung room will help prevent it from coming back in the future, as will keeping your RH above 50% and your temps at 80 deg-environment really is key with PM. PM thrives at 40-45% RH at 70 deg according to studies.

I had powdery mildew last year pretty bad and tried lots of stuff, what I think finally worked was keeping the temps up at nighttime. My temps were 60-65 at night and 80-83 daytime, I added a little micro heater and now my temps are 75 nighttime and 80-83 and haven’t seen it since.

Cleaned everything including the house...
One of the clones had some on it which I carefully cleaned off with hydrogen peroxide.

I'll just make the best of it now, its the last run before rennovations anyways and then I guess I'll do my homework and start from seed.

But honestly, I used to let my babies grow very bushy and kept em pretty much in a tight SOG without caring too much about defoliation.
NEVER had issues with mildew, and I often had to fight with very high humidity, also temperature swings.

So now that im defoliating my babies properly, keeping everything at 40-52% RH and 66-82°F, whilst having fewer plants in there suddenly my conditions are the issue? I don't see it.

I sprayed them down with Canna Cure again.
Kinda pissed off I'm getting milked for 22$ per bottle, but it seems to work a little better than H2O2.
About 30 days left - not in the mood to experiment any further - I'll stick with paying + praying for now.

GL to me.
