Effective DYI powdery mildew treatments

[Slimone]

Hi
I am a couple days into week three of flower and have some powdery mildew showing up. I was worried it would happen again this fall.
After last fall I added an extra exhaust fan and intake vent. I have a 5.5x7 room 2 600hps cool tubed. I have either dragged it in from outside or my day night temps are too far off. Either way I need to start treatment yesterday. Actually have done one spray with water and baking soda w/drip of soap but was reluctant on using it.

Want to know specifically about baking soda soap formulas and milk usage

Thanks in advance

I know there is a few of you out there that can help me and I apologize for not being able to take the time to search out your previous posts

Use a sulfur burner (if this is not where your living run the burner for 4-8 hours without fans or lights on), when I tried the “milk” solution (not yet knowing about sulfur burners), I should've saved time and effort and just tossed everything in the garbage can.

Step 1: Mix 3 tablespoons baking soda with 1 gallon of water.This is the baking soda we use: Arm and Hammer Pure Baking Soda. Step 2: Mix in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or cooking oil of your choice. This helps the spray to stick to the leaves. Step 3: Mix in 2 drops of dish soap to help emulsify (mix) everything.

I was hoping you would chime in.

Do you mean a real good soaking? Will it effect the buds?
And thanks for your recipe. I know I just read it somewhere else.

Can’t use it. I was going to state no sulcus replies. Thanks for your input

Yes, good soaking then light out and no it will not effect the buds.
Get your self some green cleaner also it will help immensely.

Also should have stated the room is packed. Only six plants but I feel four would have been easier to manage regarding the PM. I brought it on myself. Also there is no headroom 5’5 ceiling. LST big time.

I had the same problem in here, years ago.
Where there’s a will there’s a way:)

I am going to mix up a batch of your potion. I will also get some of the other product you mentioned.
I will let you know how I make out.

I over did my veg time and was hoping they wouldn’t stretch much but one did. If I can get the PM under control this might end up being a nice run.
I just switched back from doing a perpetual flower room. I was spending too much time in there.....experiment ended.
Thanks again for the quick response!

Try to get your day and night time temperatures to fluctuate no more than 10 degrees. And try and get your dehumidification under control try and keep the spikes at night down.
Green cure works but it's mostly baking soda
