It showed up on one pheno of Mandala's Satori that I have.

Popped a 10 pack earlier this year, and ran the 5 girls through a few cycles. They all grew quite differently.

One pheno had very different (better) bud growth - size, thickness, density - better smell, finished 2 weeks faster, etc. Clear winner.

But it also showed some odd, deformed fan leaf growth. I'd have to take a picture.

Anyway, it's only this one pheno that is showing the white spotting. It's rubbing right up against it's sisters - from the same lineage - and it's still only this one pheno. And each generation it's come on earlier and stronger. Now I'm getting leaves yellowing up and dying off and obviously decreased bud production.


I have several of these that are a few weeks into flowering, just starting to form buds, and they are showing severe signs. Not sure what exactly to use for those.

On the new clones I've been using some Serenade (tho I'm out not), neem & protekt dunk, azamax (for bugs tho), and I'm thinking of adding SM-90. Trying to be thorough. I've also been supplementing with Great White beneficial bacteria.

The mutant growth seems to be like a polyploid trait - a genetic mutation, and it's likely responsible for the fat, huge, smelly nugs - but I also wonder if it's the source of a particular weakness to PM.


I've read PM is systemic. Herpes. That it can never really be eradicated, only possibly controlled. Any truth to that? This Satori is quite the producer (when not overwhelmed with PM), a super easy trim, easy grower. I'd be disappointed if the lineage was fucked due to systemic disease.

arg, my room barely hits 40% RH, 50 tops. I didn't expect mold and mildew issues. Didn't expect to get mites from gifted mothers either, should've known better.

Thanks.

I have actually read through all of these already once I started getting PM a couple/few weeks ago.

Today I'll be dunking the mother and clones in neem.

My flowering girls are a bit more problematic. The Serenade seemed completely ineffective for me. I run in not too large tents, so I'm not sure about a sulfur burner. Greencure and Eagle 20 aren't available locally. etc.

It's just so frustrating that I've got this great pheno, but it has this PM issue.

Just picked up some Dutchmaster Zone & Saturator (new name for Penetrator), most of the plants are too big to really dunk, so I'm going to start by spraying thoroughly.
