Hell no, dont spray milk on plants dude are you crazy! Sorry but it is a bad a idea, usually when cannabis molds, its either your fault because of the high humidity in your room. Or its genetic, because some strains cant fight the basic of fungus spores in the air, so it could be the strain. I have heard of plenty of strains that come with a high mold risk!!! So throw those infected clones out, cut some more and try to be more clean, get you a dehumidifier and a HYGROMETER. If your humidity is high enough to make mold im about 100 percent sure you have not purchased one. Count it as a lost, start over, once mold or bugs, trash, quarantine, clean and start again buddy!

Who the hell told you spraying milk on plants was a BAD idea? Milk defeats powdery mildew.... at any rate what this guy needs to do is clean his room, manage humidity, temp and get some sort of air filtration to prevent it from happening again. But for the record, a little milk and water is perfectly fine to treat powdery mildew. Just don't do it often and make sure to rinse with warm soapy water every other misting.

Neem Oil - I second that...

Yes, just apply it in moderation (see: per any sane instructions)... do not just pour, and do not spray w/the light(s) on .. if you do, you will not like what could potentially happen... see: everything you sprayed burned to hell and gone, seeing as the neem oil is a true oil.

There are many products that you can use. Yes, you can use baking soda and lemon juice to combat Powdery Mildew, but you must first change the conditions of your room. I recommend using a products like: Green Cure, Growers Trust Powdery Mildew Killer, or Eagle 20. After spraying, the next day wash it off really good with a water drench, then use a product called Pro-Tekt by Dyna-Gro.. or any type of silicone based product.. this will create a seal on the leaf surface that won't allow mildew to feed. Hope this helps, Keep it Green!

Yes its alright to spray neem on clones. However I would NEVER EVER EVER spay milk on my clones. I am not sure about these other people but aparently they dont know that milk starts growing bacteria in less then 4 hours that is toxic to humans even if it is deluted down. DONT DO IT. use neem oil which is cheap and gets rid of it. It basically smothers the mold while leaving the plant fine. However never use neem on flowering plants. Neem is bitter, and we wouldnt want bitter buds would we. lol. Anyways never use milk and try using neem, its cheap and effective

All of you talking about powdery mildew need to remember the op said mold, not mildew. You treat these problems differently. Make sure you know what you have before treating it. Simply giving mildew a high ph will keep it at bay. With mold however, you need to not only cut the humidity down, but cut and remove the moldy section of the bud. Pics help. PM is white, bud rot or mold is brown.

If it is powdery mildew I recommend greencure or serenade spray products above neem. The products I recomended are also fully organic (OMRI certified) and can be used on flowering plants up to harvest time. There is better stuff than neem for PM. Save the neem for shit like spider mites or something.

mites care nothing for neem which is also all organic (tree sap) and when used for pm specifically, inhibits its ability to reproduce at the same time that it lowers the ph of the leaf surface at the same time it gives the plant an immune boost at the same time that it gives the plant a nice N boost... go neem
serenade damn near killed my entire veg room and green cure was scoffed at by pm, but that's just my expeience - the guys at my hydro shop swear by greencure

I doubt it was serenade that nearly killed your garden. It is essentially the same product as greencure. The difference between greencure/serenade and neem is that you cannot use neem up untill harvest. And also pm is system, it's in the plant not just on the plant. It's fucking plant herpes, you can treat it but it won't go away.

Pm isn't systemic. You can treat it and it won't go away unless you do something about your environment. There are treatments that are systemic, but PM itself is not systemic. That is a myth.

This may work but I think its best to fix the problem for now and in the future grows by doing it correctly avoiding having to make 'band aid' solutions to this issue, the mold/mildew started in a wet environment (dome).

Baking soda is merely a band aid and PM will reappear.
If it's PM then low fat milk will work perfect without
a single ill effect. Used in large commercial grows all the way
up to harvest it is 100% safe and effective.
Mix and spray 1 part milk to 9 parts water and watch the PM disappear.

Hydrogen Peroxide mixed with water treats mildew, way better than anything else. If a plant is molded I would NOT keep it though. I would not recommend you ingest any moldy cannabis!!!!
