i dont recommend on spraying anything on your plant. you will probably smoke that shit later and i dont want to hear that you got sick from copper poisoning lol. i recommend you investing in a dehumidifier. spraying your plants increases ur humidity. where i live its very hot and humid, i had mold problems till i finally bought a dehumidifier

hardcore guerrilla style, Id love to run a dehumidifier & fans, but I think a mile and a half extension chord leading right to one patch might be a small give away....
I was under the impression that it would clear off the plant by the time its ready for harvest, figure it needs it as flower starts, then a couple weeks into flower, hopefully will be enough to stop the deadly Botrytis....

I hate mold more than the DEA....

damn man, i never done outdoors before... but if i were to do outdoors, i'd put a tarp above the plants to shelter them from the rain. so you get less chance of getting mold.

I get mold outdoor to.I'm gonna try to space them apart better for better air flow,not foliage spray as much to cause dampness.

I don't know about the copper idea, I'll be following it though, as I had mold problems on my last seasons outdoor grow. I do know that some strains are more successable to mold. Last year I used the skim milk + baking soda trick with some success. I lost around a pound or two due to the dreaded bud rot ( out of twenty four plants I figure I did ok, as the year befor I lost damn near 1/8 the crop!). The skim milk/baking soda mix did pretty well on powder mildew, however I had to keep applying it around once a week.

If anybody can come up with a sure fire and safe way to eliminate mold/mildew from pot plants they could make a fortune.
