I have been trying everything I can to combat this powdery mildew. I am 3 weeks into flowering and am just barely getting this powdery mildew returning from my last harvest. I have tried the following:
Serenade - seems to work, but stinks BADLY and also seems to burn hairs. I did spray with lights on, that may have been the issue, if anyone has experience with this please advise.
Zone/Penetrator - seems to work, but also seems to burns the hairs, this was spray tested on one plant that was kept in complete darkness until completely dry. I used 10ml/gal of zone and penetrator per the labels instructions. This did the least damage to the plants out of the sprays i used. Though it did not completely burn the hairs, some (not all) turned orange on me.
GreenCure - seems to work, but absolutley burnt every hair it touched. This is a potassium bicarbonate product (baking soda type product) that also contains a wetting agent. I had high hopes for this product, but I think it burnt the hairs worse than anything else I tried, didn't just turn the hairs orange, they went DARK brown.
Sulfur Burner - this was my last hope. Even though the mildew is not really bad (yet) the sulfur burner seems to be doing nothing at all. I have tried using it once per week for a few hours at a time, and recently started burning sulfur EVERY night for 5 hours per night for the last 3 nights and the mold seems to be doing just fine. How do I know if the sulfur burner is "killing" the mold or does it just prevent the mold from spreading?
The zone/penetrator seems to do the least damage to the plants. Does "burning" the hairs stunt the growth of the plant in any way?
What would you folks recommend. I am willing to try anything. I will test it on one plant before doing the whole garden of course. I have SM90, which works on powdery mildew, but afraid to use it in flowering.
Thanks in advance for any help.
