Mould, and whats worse, powdery mildew has and is ravaging our region. Every grower i know has plants that are covered and dying. Thankfully, there is a cure and thats why i write this thread. My entire crop was only days away from death. and while they look a little rough now, the mould and powdery mildew is completely gone and my and my plants are regenerating , thank god.
What killed the deadly duo and saved my plants? GREENCURE. Plain and simple, i will have a harvest and something to smoke this winter because of greencure . My hope with this thread is to convince any grower out there about to loose their crop that if they act fast, they can save their crop.
I had read about Greencure here in a "discussion about mould" and tried it. It burned the white hairs on my plant so i shelved the stuff initially. But continued reading and study led me to believe the ingredients in Greencure should work. The chemical in GC is Potassium Bicarbonate, which is the same chemical as baking soda. However, after tallking with Customer service rep for GC, i was told GC is like baking soda as a candle is like a blow torch. GC is baking soda purified several hundred times and is very different ineffect than straight BSoda.
About 3 weeks ago, my buddy asked me to stop by and look at his plants. They had Powdery mildew and died Two days later . Within weeks, every other growers plants in the area had PM and mould too including mine and I knew they were going to die.
At this point, i got the GC back out. I knew my plants only had a few days to live so what is there to loose? I called the GC company and spoke with a customer rep and told him it seemed to burn my sunflowers when i used it. He told me that the reaction of plant species to the extreme acidity in GC varied widely He told me that the plants listed on the label had all been tested for reaction, but anytime a garder used the product on an untested variety then a dosage must be esablished.
Originally when i tried GC, i used 1. 5 tablespoons per gallon. The rep told me to reduce that to 3/4 tablespoons per gallon. I tried that, used it on my very diseased and near death plants, and within 48 hours the plants looked better. On the few plants i have that werent in bad shape and the Powdery mildew was just starting, it killed it and damage to the plants ceased
I am now applying GC weekly or when it rains. This is a true miracle product for me and cant say enough about it. I have tried this dosage on 5 strains, all were cured and none were harmed. I smoked the weed from treated plants and there is no taste or indication the product was ever used. It is approved for organic gardening.
I hope this helps someone save their crop. Serenade doesnt work that well and is systemic in nature, which means it is absorbed into the plant tissue. Serenade isnt approved for organic gardening. The problem with the other treatments that show promise such as milk arent realistic because the diseases work so much faster than these remedies do. Greencure is the first really effective product i have ever found.

I have been using this home made stuff for my tomatoes. Stuff should work on all mold cultures. 
Last summer I tried sodium bicarbonate spraying on some Lowryders which had started to develop mould a couple of days earlier. Unfortunately I wasn't able to rescue them, after about a week they were gone. However, at that time it was extremely humid conditions outdoors for a long period of time, and that combined with the wellknown mould sensitivity of Lowryder probably contributed a lot to my unsuccesfull treatment.
