need some help ,,powdery mildew and lemon juice

[bannana man]

ok iam about to make a mix of lemon juice and water for the plants as a prcaution,,,i mixed the juice with water ph come out at 3.5 ...i normally spray with a ph of 8 if iam battleing mildew


is ph 3.5 ok as a foliar spray ive never sprayed with such a low ph on my babies ???????????

 

[Finalopagus]

hummm good question
I spray from clone thru veg with regular water "7.4 ph 120ppm well" and thrive alive. I don't know about mildew prevention but 3.4 sounds kinda harsh. Lets see...

 

[bannana man]

ok just spokw with a mate its all good to spray at ph 3.5 ,i was worried didnt want to burn them ,3.5 is low would never normally do it

i dont want the plants to absorb the stuff so i think it will be fine ,its just to stop the mildew from liveing on the leafs mildew will grow on ph 5.5 -6.5 so gotta keep it higher or lower ,normally make it ph 8 ,,but i spoke with a mate he just sprayed his with ph 3.6 and they were fine ...i would never foliar feed at ph 3.5 cos the plant would not beable to absorb it



Have Your Foliar Spray pH Balanced - It is a mistake to think that you do not need to measure the pH balance of your foliar spray. Much like your nutrient solution, the pH of your foliar spray should be slightly acidic, with a pH of around 5.8. This will allow the solution to penetrate the film on the leaf and be absorbed much more easily. Make sure you accurately measure your pH and make any adjustments that are necessary with a pharmaceutical grade pH adjuster.

yea my fault jumpin on you I miss the point here was for Mildew not to foliar feed. :fubar

FWIW I checked the pH of both AN's Protector and DM's Zone+Penetrator....both come out pH9ish with a base water of pH7.8-8

had mildew bad the other day, got rid of it with one spray of citrusfresh . will get some details of the product soon . it kills every thing , you can wash your salad with it and eat it , its organic and rejested with rdsa some thing ...
kills mould . you can spray it on flowering buds , dont smell or taste of any thing ,. it says its a organic sanitizer . and puts a 2 week barrier after application ...

I also used cirusfresh and it works really fast but makes sure you fund all the mildew spots.

wetty betty is just as good as penortrator !!

i seen a few spots on the willies wonder if i see more i will pit it in the inline looooooooooooooool OZONE ITS ASSSSS:clapping:clapping:clapping:clapping

 

[hazyfontazy]

best thing we can do is just keep trying ,,its not going anywhere fast so best we keep exchanging remedies :rock

hopefully we will get a true scientist on board to tell us wether toking cleaned up plants is safe or not :yes

u need to repeat that spraying at 5 day intervals to kill the pm internally ,the spores are just carriers and are easy to clean off,the infectipn is internal ,thats why to use penetrator so it penetrates into the inner cells,,once its dead internally no more spores wil show,

ozone should kill all airbourne spores,it wont cure already infested plants ,so spraying as well is reccomended

re

high ph tends to ward off mildew, but the reason for mildew is that the humdity is fluctuating too much...ie 30% light on and 70% light off... this low high low high causes mildew

you can make a dipping solution as well, that way you're sure to get a 100% coverage.
