Hello Everyone,
After years of working hard to maintain a healthy environment for my Girls I have finally observed PM for the first time.
I work hard to maintain proper RH and airflow and have never before even seen PM other than in pictures...
I had a water leak in the loft above my flower space. Water came through a crack in the floor and filled an LED light before spilling over onto my girls that are in flower. An area of the canopy about 2 feet square got wet.
I fixed the leak, threw away the light and mopped the floor.
As I have good fans and dehumidifier I did not give it another thought. Yesterday I was tending the garden and found PM on numerous leaves in the area that had gotten wet.
I gently removed as many affected leaves as I could find. I fear it may have affected flowers as well but cannot tell. I sprayed the area with a 50/50 milk and water. I then shook the plants to knock any large drops off and set an additional fan blowing on that spot.
Today I looked close and found a few more leaves affected. I suspect that they are ones I missed yesterday.
I now have RH running 40-50%.
I am REALLY concerned that I have to go out of town for several days and will be unable to attend to my Girls.
Given that conditions overall are not conducive to PM in my flower room I wonder how likely the PM is to continue to be a problem?
Once it shows will it continue to progress even though I have corrected the environmental issue that allowed it to start? (water leak)
Or, now that the plants are dry and RH is well controlled will it stop?
Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks
FJ.
