has anyone else experienced the ultimate delima of trying to distinguish if your bud is seriously thick with heavy snowy trichomes or could it be it looks like that because its enhanced with PM!?! I just harvested what appears to be some INTENSE TRICHOME coverage on my pink querkle and I got my scope out I think its the real deal but could the pm have actually absorbed into the trichomes? Now that is scary, but it looks so good , it looks SOOOOO GOOOOD!lol

White powdery growth on leaves and shoots can be a sign of powdery mildew. This disease affects many plants, and one of several fungi can cause it. Manage powdery mildew by using resistant plant varieties and altering the growing environment. In some situations, fungicide treatments might be required for susceptible plant species.

Symptoms can vary by plant species.
  • White, powdery spots develop on both leaf surfaces and expand as the infection grows.
  • Leaves turn yellow or brown and fall off, exposing the plant or fruit to sunburn.
  • Leaves or shoots can twist or distort.
  • The fruiting part of vegetables usually isn’t affected, but apples, grapes, and stone fruits can develop weblike russet scars or corky areas.
Powdery mildew is common in warm, dry conditions.
  • Unlike many diseases, powdery mildew doesn’t require moist conditions to grow.
  • Moisture during the spring inhibits growth.
  • Moderate temperatures (60º to 80ºF) and shade encourage the disease.
Alter the growing environment to make plants less susceptible.
  • Grow plants in sunny locations.
  • Provide good air circulation by pruning excess foliage.
  • Don’t overfertilize with nitrogen, because lush foliage and shade encourage the disease.
Plant resistant varieties.
Some highly susceptible plants have resistant or less susceptible varieties.

  • Ornamentals: Crape myrtle, rose, London plane tree, rhododendron, and zinnia.
  • Fruit: Apple, raspberry, and peach.
  • Vegetables: Melons, pumpkins, squash, cucumbers, beans, and peas.
Consider nonchemical approaches.
  • Sprinkle infected plants with water. To prevent other disease problems, do this midmorning, so moisture dries rapidly. Adding soap can increase control.
  • Prune out small infestations, and remove infected buds during the dormant season. Quickly remove infected materials, so you don’t spread spores.
Some plants may need fungicides.
  • These plants include susceptible varieties of apples, caneberries, grapes, roses, and cucurbits.
  • Control mild to moderate infections with horticultural oil or with plant-based oils such as neem oil or jojoba oil. Don’t use oils if you’ve applied sulfur or if it is above 90ºF.
  • Prevent infections with wettable sulfurs, especially ready-to-use products with soaplike surfactants. These products aren’t effective after the disease appears. Repeat applications might be necessary.
  • Other fungicides are available. Many must be applied before you see the first fungal growth.

Ok i will try nukem, but i have ordered a cheapo version of a sulfur vaporizer and will use that also. I want to rid of all them nasty assed spores that have surely coated everything in my grow tents.

Yes, i will also get a DH as with all this darn rain has kept my humidity above 60% which I really do not like. Like said, need to keep the RH down during flowering!

Have you a magnifiying glass or jewlers loupe? Inspect them leaves and buds up close and you will surely be able to see the difference between trics and nasty PM!
