This is my first outdoor grow and I have been growing in a greenhouse. The humidity in New England has been extremely high. I just added another fan to help the molding I saw in the soil first. I treated the leaves and soil with the neem oil, peppermint shampoo, and Aloe vera water mixture two days prior. I do not know what to do. I increased the fan speed to increase circulation and I have the vents and window of the greenhouse open. Most of the leaves are okay but I did have to remove a few from every plant. Please help as I have been paying attention to them everyday and have been trying to be proactive about preventing this by doing a weekly spray and by starting treatment and buying extra fans as soon as I saw molding.

WPM.

Go to the store and get a gallon of Vit D milk. Not the 2% stuff.
Mix it 50/50 with water and spray the plant, the soil, all of it when the lights first come on. Leave it in the light. Before lights out, spray with clean water.
You might need 2 or more treatments.

Does milk really get rid of pm if nothing is done about the environment that caused it in the first place?interesting always learning I suppose👍

Dual role of milk on aphid and powdery mildew control in kale

Powdery mildew (PM) is the most important kale disease and it is more difficult to manage when plants are simultaneously infested with aphids. In this…

Interesting article but it says it reduces pm by 30 percent nothing bout it being a cure can’t hurt though and I’m wondering if it could be used as a preventative measure more so than a magic bullet pretty cool though milk on ya plants😂😂might not need as much calcium

The word 'cure' is against FDA rulez. LOL
I did say it may take more than a single treatment.
And I have heard of a large grower that does this as a preventative.

Think he’s outside (in a greenhouse) so PM is going to be all over the place.

Then milk is way cheaper to spray in that big of an area.

Still a big defoilation is called for. Cut out what you can and get some airflow in there. Molds like stagnant air.

And those pictures of the leaves makes me think there’s a mite problem with all the white dots.

Hydrogen peroxide, Neem, Bonide cooper, and Serenade are all organic sprays that work. I also like Plant Doctor which is a systematic fungicide and best used before you actually have an outbreak. (Though it’s sold by “Organic Laboratories” it isn’t technically organic as it’s just potassium salts of phosphorus acid.)

I had been spraying with neem and Aloe vera water as preventative but its been raining for almost a month. I did buy a 20" fan to add to the greenhouse yesterday. Thanks for the advice. I am going to try them out.

I think it’s best to get on top of the environment issues that causes it in the first place extra fans big dog dehumidifier extra vents something like that I find with enough airflow it can’t survive and thrive👍

Yes I added one yesterday and I am adding another one tomorrow. I will definitely take all that advice.

Okay I removed the molded leaves I saw this afternoon and I will check first thing in the morning. The humidity has been around 95% for 2 weeks.
