Mold at week 5

Found mold yesterday at week 5 on some of my platinum og kush. What are my options for controlling the mold without making my buds smell and taste like butthole. I know water ph'd over 7 but I sprayed once with a mold buster yesterday and then again with ph'd 8 water and then this morning there is still some mold. Oh and I put every fucking fan I have on the undercanopy of these plants and still got more mold this morning...


I need a mold miracle help me lol..

If I had to guess I'd say the mold spores are coming from mt tent and I need to do a massive cleaning.
If I have to cut early due to this I'm going to completely start fresh by cleanng o all my tents and surrounding areas

What kind of mold? Powdery mildew? PM can be controlled with a milk/water mixture sprayed on the plant(do a search there's lots of info). If it is bud-rot you might be fucked, kind of early for bud-rot though.

Salt on the floor of the growroom will drop rH.

Butthole smell and flavor is usually genetic

If you don't have a relative humidity meter of somesort might want to invest in one. A simple battery operated temperature and relative humidity device will work. Keep your grow area, yourself, and tools sterile. Need pictures because there are various types of mold and maybe in your case it could just be powdery mildew. There are alot of products out there that can combat mildew and mold. I use safer grow products but I have been lucky that in the last 4 years never had to use them. Stay away from serenade that stuff is difficult to wash out.

Ok thanks for the responses I'm going to pick up greencure but I'll also try the milk and water, as well as salt on the floor to lower humidity. I do have a humidity and temp readings my humidity fluctuates depending on the outside temps because the air in my tent is replaced with air outside 2 times every minute.

And it is powdery mildew not bud rot

The plant in my avatar is the same ones with the mildew. All my other plants are fine even touching leafs effected with mold

Be careful with milk and water. Milk curdles.

So what wash it after?

Never had mold problems on any indoor before except for when I didn't have any fans on an Ez cloner for a week or two. I normally have decent air flow and I don't have to deal with mildew but this strain seems to be extra seseptible

1 part semi-skimmed milk, 9 parts water. Wash off after a couple of days with clean water, an hour or 2 before lights-on.

Thanks, but I went ahead and just got potassium bi-carbonate and I soaked all the girls .. And I plan to do it every morning or every other morning until harvest


For everybody's information NEVER use sanctuary botanical mold buster it's the nastiest smelling thing ever it's got a bunch of yeast in it and now the budsi rated just smell like straight yeast, I was gunna go 2 more weeks but I think I'm gunna be going 3 weeks just to hopefully get rid of that smell!!

i would never use that again in any stages of growth, I don't want that smell anywhere near my plants

Yuck. Best of luck..hope that goes away

That smell is bigger problem than the mildew!!! Mildew is under control for now. But I really do need to find a way to drop my humidity a lot it's at 55% now a dehumidifier wouldn't do much with how fast my air is dispensed.... I would need to seal the room and do a/c c02 and de humidifier
