White balls structures on my sugar leaves - New Growers - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Ramfired · 11-01-2017, 10:48 PM

Went down to check the trichomes with the microscope today and found white "stuff" on my sugar leaves. It is not trichomes. Just for info on possible variables - a. We had a insect problem a few weeks ago and used mighty wash twice followed by power wash.. b. We added koolbloom powder in the last 2 weeks

Any ideas appreciated

It appears to be mildew or mold...

Yup, Look's like PM to me.

this is Achille's Heal of wetting bud. you're just creating mold Eden.

PM. Treat it or you may get moldy smelling product.

Lots of natural remedies. Changing the pH of the leaf surface is the key.

What PH kills PM?

Stuff you have kicking around the house

Hydrogen peroxide mixed with water
Milk mixed with water

"Organic" stuff to buy

Serenade
Actinovate

I've seen sulpher powder listed as used for organic gardening.

Sulpher burners too.

Non organic stuff to buy

Eagle 20

I'm sure there is plenty more.

Baking soda and water. Works great and also works as a preventative. I use it on all sorts of veggies as well to prevent against pm.

While that may work, seems like it requires an application of a spray of some sort, be it organic or inorganic. If you up day and night temps and lower humidity, that'll stop powdery mildew from spreading.

lowering humidity will actually encourage PM to spread.....
