Theres almost always a cheaper and more natural way to do things if you look for it. Hydro stores make tons of money from ignorance. I just sprayed cleaning vinegar on a bunch of weeds as a herbicide. Compare 30 bucks worth of vinegar (which also stops PM from growing on clover) to over 200 worth of roundup??? Yup, learnin is good for your wallet :lol:

Baking soda works to keep it at bay. Nothing kills it. It's not dead or gone just because it's not visible... Lots of things keep it at bay. A natural bacteria called AQ-10 kills it dead. It's used in vinticulture but the government says we're not allowed to buy it right now

I find that itll never even show up with some cleaning and preventitive spraying in veg. Ive gotten a couple grows for my friends back on track with my method. Never see that stuff again. Its also imperative to water in the morning and not before lights out. Keeps the night humidity down.

Yeah I always water early on in the day.

I think not having a fan going at night and leaving water in the drain tray is what brought it on. Plus it's fall in the northwest and that stuff is everywhere outside

My buddy did one milk treatment this year, just once and we never saw the crap again either. This is definitely not the norm so I have no idea. Maybe there are so many people growing now and throwing everything but the kitchen sink at the white menace that the pm strains are getting weaker and tired ? Lol

I live in the PAC-NW too and it's literally dripping from everything.

i alternated baking soda and h202 every few days. before your next run use 2 lroducts, actinovate for a soil/foliar and some bonide infuze for foliar. i had horrible mildew, not a atch today. my flower rh was at 65 nightime few days ago and nothing. i havent used either for about 4/5 months and still free of the shit....

I had the same prob about 3 weeks ago.. I too did the milk treatment.. I gave it one good dose (I used 1% stuff) waited 2 days..then used hose and as high pressure as plant could take,,gave it a rinse/soaking. then waited a week and did it again .. Never get rid of it once it sets... but it seems to have worked keeping it from spreading.. I picked off the few that still had spots..and all is good ..(note the "rust" spot on the leaf... it was pm but the milk turned it into this)

I wouldnt recommend baking soda... If I'm not mistaken isnt that a salt?

This is what I've found and rarely have to spray in flower any more unless it's a new strain/pheno from seed that is really susceptible to it. I spray them in veg and rarely see it in the flower room anymore.
