hi @Dan789 . it's my first grow and the last thing i wana do is torch her. is there any natural or organic safe way to get rid of it? i managed to find a pesticide that states it will address the white mildew but i'm a bit reluctant to put anything on the plant that i'm not willing to put in my lungs.

I just told you Green cure is supposedly safe and if you can't afford to lose it this is what you do

Appreciate the info HB on the "Green Cure" but I still aren't convinced that smoking any bud exposed to PM is anything we need in our lungs, in that our lungs are that same hot, damp and dark interior, that these plants have been in where (the PM) has been thriving. I agree that this situation seems a fairly light infestation, but just sayin, that's why many of us grow is to know what's in the bud we're smoking.
If it was my grow the only thing I'd be putting to that crop is a torch, with all in a burn barrel, and upwind with an appropriate niosh respirator w/ min p100 filters.

Sure I'd like to throw everything away if I think there's a problem but some people don't have that luxury
Some may not be as fortunate as you and they are counting on it

I mentioned earlier in this post about a light for killing PM.

Here is the link.

If anyone wants to research it. I have never used one nor do I know anything about it other than what the site markets.

Can't see how it can do anything other than possibly de-contaminate a grow space, that's been exposed.
Anything on the plant is kept going with the environment (high RH, & lack or inadequate air circulation and nourishment provided by the plants themselves). You can wave all the money you want at this, and maybe there's some chemical or device out there that kills this shit, but it's still PM. Once it's inside the bud, you're fucked and so is the grow. Then you'd have to neutron bomb the shit.
If we follow that logic, we'll be producing bud, that nothing attacks, and in fifty years when dug up from a landfill, along with a McDonalds hamburger will still be looking the same. Just sayin...

Im.pretty much with you on that...the pm gets inside the grow. It's more than likely a gimmick to get new growers cash with the huge marijuana boom that's happening

hi guys. i was away for a while and had someone looking after my room for me. i think the humidity built up a lil and the plants were growing into each other and had this really intense powdery substance start growing on the leaves. was thought to be dust or thc crystals at first but once it got to the point it's at now i realized it was no dust.

i took drastic action spraying the leaves with water and wiping it dry with a paper towel. i then proceeded to make a diluted apple cider vinegar and water mix(5ml:1l) and sprayed that on the affected areas(which was close to everywhere) . i've left that overnite and when i went to water them now the leaves looked slightly droopy.

i'm gona look at them again later to see if they get a bit of life back into them . really holding thumbs they pull through.

In anyone of your experiences have you guys managed to save a plant that had a bad white mildew infestation ?? and what did you do that worked for you? i'm buying 2more smaller fans and relocating the one big fan to the roof of the room pointing downwards. this should address the "dead spaces" in the room which i believe to be the main cause of it.

Thanks y'all! wish me luck

Yes diluted peroxide water over all infected areas and then rinse with clean ro highPH water spray with a hand pump or garden hose on light pressure the mold will blow right off however if your environment is still off mold will come back Iv saves several plants this way and finished product turns out just fine
