[ASMA]

Buy some eagle20 ew, you'll probably have to search online for it. Use only in veg. It will kill the mildew and keep it gone, unlike just about every other remedy out there for pm.

ill 2nd that...Eagle is the PM bomb[thanx krunchy]

Eagle 20 should be the last resort. You need more air flow, less humidity, a cleaner grow space and stable temps. You should really fix your environment before buying hardcore chems. Most fungicides will work fine IF YOUR ENVIRONMENT IS DIALED IN. I have found that a combo of green cure and sulphur powder is as good as anything including the eagle20.

Not my experience. Perfect environment, wicked PM. One application of Eagle 20, gone.

It was my last resort, wish I would've made it my first. Suffered substantially lowered yield for 2 full runs cause I tried other crap first.

VADO and EMERALD thanks for the heads up on the eagle 20 read a few things on it no doubt it sounds like it works great.VEG ONLY wich is where im at so its my option if(getting my environment adequate doesn't hinder it)

303hydro i did read that swings in high to low temp, high humiddity and poor air circulation are all supporting the PM. in the past week its been hot as sh*t,then it rained for two days on/off heat.

im going to buy an extra fan get my air moving better keep a close eye on humidity, wipe everything down again with a low bleach water solution. can i wipe down my plats with something?

green cure and sulfur powder can you inform me about this?

Dude, I understand that there are situations where PM may seem avoidable ( such as if it grows outside your indoor garden ) , but if your environment was perfect then PM could not grow on your plants even if the spores are everywhere.

Eagle 20 may be the best for sure bet, but your grow will be all around better than healthier if you at least try to correct environment first. That shit is illegal for hydro stores to sell in this state so I personally would not ever use it unless I had no other option or choice.

I don't agree with that 303. For a couple years pm was in my garden, I used all the solutions you mentioned, and my environment was in check. Sulfer burners, potasium bicarbonate, serinade, etc all proved to be little more than bandaids. Even if you can't see it, your garden is still infected with pm... until you use eagle.

Frankly I wish I knew about the eagle20 years ago, I would've saved myself a bit of money at the hydro shop and a bunch of work.

HEY HEY HEY all this BS argument and NO ONE SUGGESTED the old school MILK method???????//

ONE CUP skim milk to a gal of water and spray on infected plants .. the Milk enzimes eat the mildew and kill it.. its perfectly fine for your ladies..

JEESH your all supposed to be farmers not Product pushers

 

[grapeman]

The fallacy here is that you should ONLY use a fungicide during veg. Not true. Just a minor point, but one can use it safely up thru week 3 of flower on a 8 week strain.

And no - you won't taste it.

 

[spunion]

Do the little white spots look like PM or possibly something else?

yep pm

 

[spunion]

I think I might try Organicide. Organic (no sulphur?) fungicide sounds good. FWIW the only PM plants I have are all from the same dispensary, the rest of my plants are clean (should probably put them in a different environment until this is gone though).

 

[oneeyewilly]

i got rid of a pm outbreak by killing everything, re clean room and painted walls and floor with killz.
I know its a set back but why waist your time with pm infected vegged plants, either way your are either spraying with chemicals or household goods witch i find only work for a week our two
(never tried the milk, only a baking soda water and soap combo and pure neem on effected spots)
There are too many good seeds available to waist your time with infected plant.
More ventalation and steady temp are key like the other dudes say, less water hepls too, ihad a ebb@flo when i had my run in with the white fuzzy beast
a fresh start and clean room is the best way to go
good luck

ASMA. I am a noob and I got a sickly ass case of the PM. I 2 seperate grow areas and I have treated 1(the worse of the 2) and now, 5 days later there is still no PM in that area. I will get to the other area tomorrow. I used Eagle 20EW BTW. I'm not saying it worked but IMO I don't doubt the Eagle, not 1 bit.

Don't, I've found organocide to be a huge pain in the ass. Since it's mostly fish oil it's kind of hard to mix well with water, so you end up with uneven coverage a lot of the time. Not to mention it won't work a fraction as good as the eagle...

 

[dubite]

Lactobacili culture will destroy PM in no time.

 

[mdanforth]

Dyna-gro's Protekt works well at keeping PM at bay.......

 

[B. Friendly]

I don't want to smoke Eagle 20, you might but not over hear
pm can be eliminated by environmental controls it is a humidity thing, remember PM is there in our air but mj will not get it outdoors
so ya it is an enviro thing all the way... you can only get PM on your mj if indoors or a greenhouse...
having said that keep your RH down at 50% and below and PM will be eliminated,
now there are some seriously weak defenders against PM ie every Kush I have ever grown... but a RH of 40% will do the job here... Plus if your plants are side by side and not breathing this is an issue

move your air around and keep your RH low

otherwise get a sulphur burner, turn it off at week 4 of flower,
also have had success with neem oil killing PM, also used 5ml per gallon of h202 and spray the pm away...
I hate to use anything not organic, cuz i don't want to smoke it...

dude I worked in green house growing vegetables and it was never a good idea to spray, the facts are that shit stays in the plant and gets into you... oh ya Horticulture Diploma over hear also, sprays are the shits... it's industrially known as poison, just how much do you want,
everybody is aware of the suit you're suppost to put on when spraying right, hmmmm why is that?????????

Serenade worked for me i also add another fan for air circulation .
