i wud just use eagle 20ew in veg once job done no more PM ive been free for over a year and didnt change my enviroment
I am a little suprised that not a person here has an info.
So I will share my experience. Over the last week or so I have been using a citric product, less than 2% citric. It will kill on contact, not just the spore but the mildew within the plant. I think this is a very good alternative to throwing away contaminated herb. Does an ok job of washing the PM off the plant, not as good a alcohol. I feel just fine about spraying with something as innocuous as citric acid all over the plant. Not having to worry about residues or toxins on a flower allows one to be very thorough in the spraying. Keep it at bay for another few days.
Hope this info is a help to someone out there.
Peace
I am trying Earths Ally Disease Control from Lowes. It contains Citric Acid, Lactose, etc.. I tried it on some flowers that were white with PM and it cleared them up. I sprayed the plants, but it needs to stop raining to see if it worked. Directions say to spray top and bottom of leaves, stems. Note, PM thrives in 70 to 80 degree dry weather.Hey everbody was wondering if anyone has tried Citric acid as a PM wash or prevenative. There are OMRI listed products that contain 5% citric and are used as a fungicide. Just interested to find out how effective this is.
On a side note and the real reason I am posting is because I have some at 1.35% citric for this exact purpose. I will use this in the hopes that it will do as labeled. I will let everyone know about this on this thread.
Any info here from other users will be welcomed.
I sparyed tops of leaves, it worked. I did a follow up spray a week later with some more showing. I did not spray the bottom of leaves. Following week I saw a streak on a leaf where another leaf was resting on it. I sprayed 3rd time top and bottom. All is good now.I am trying Earths Ally Disease Control from Lowes.

This is old post but myclobutanol becomes hydrogen chloride and hydrogen cyanide when heated, both poisons and reason for people getting sick from bootleg vape cartridges.Eagle 20 is a systemic.
It leaves traces all the way to flower.
So, not an option for a medical grow.
That said, I asked about PM and was told that Procid works. Bought some and found it to be effective, if expensive.
So, I read the label.
0.081% Citric acid. The other 99.919% is distilled water.
So, I bought a couple pounds of food grade, citric acid,
Should last me 50 years, :)
Did more research. Turns out that PM wants a narrow PH range to spore. Anything that raises, or lowers the surface PH will do.
Potassium bicarbonate also works well and is also dirt cheap. Sodium Bicarb also works but can drip to the soil and add too much sodium.
They do need re-application every week or so or the PM begins to bloom again.
We are only inhibiting the blooms with this PH trick and it is not perfect. I can usually still find some blotches inside the buds.
So, when I harvest, I trim immediately and immerse the buds in 3% H2O2 in a large jar at room temperature.
Then I shake the shit out of it.
No worry, be brutal. You won't lose resin as long as the liquid is room temperature.
I've put buds under a microscope before and after. Trichs still capped, but PM gone.
Whip the excess moisture off and hang them to dry, if done in the a.m., they will be dry enough by dusk to hang indoors.
Aloha,
Weeze
I used some last season. It does work. But you must spray 100 percent of plant. Top and bottom of leaves, stems. This coming season I will use again this time being more precise in the treatment. I did wash a plant with it at harvest and results were good. I used Earths Ally brand from Lowes.Hey everbody was wondering if anyone has tried Citric acid as a PM wash or prevenative.
