Girls about at week 4 with a little PM.

Is it okay to foliar spray silica (protekt) solution on 3-4 week buds? Anyone had any ill effects?

I never spray anything on my buds ever. I'd toss it and start over with good ventilation.

Never used it after week 3 of flower but Plant Therapy can be used up until harvest and is good for PM.

In the meantime, keeping ur humidity stable especially right after lights off and having good airflow will help prevent pm.

Yea I have a closet grow and I let the humidity get away from me a couple nights (I put clothes that weren't completely dry in there after it rained) and yea.. problems since then. I'll check out this plant therapy... looks pricey but would probably last awhile and it if saves my hard work so far, i'd be pleased.

I sprayed it with Protekt in week 2/3 and 30% milk solution last week but still see a little PM. Hope it isn't destroyed... although this my first indoor grow so i'm just kinda seeing what works and doesnt work this time so I can really dial in the next grow and get everything right.

As for the Plant Therapy, I picked some up this afternoon at a local place so I will try that.

Nice it’s good you’re using this grow to learn and explore. I stand corrected with the statement above. After further reading, which others should do too, you can foliar feed protekt. I’ve never done it, but I have ran dynagro. I’d advise to not spray this far into flower though just for your health sake. Happy grows.

Post some pictures of your plants if you want so we can help. We don’t judge here we’re all in the same boat. I’m having some issues over in my grow but it’s all gravy. Happy grows.

Im telling you with 100% certainty that you can spray for PM during flower you just need to be very very careful about what you use. I personally wouldn't use milk or soap mixture or any of that other stuff because it will leave a film on your finished product. The ONLY thing I will spray on my developed buds is Green Cleaner because its 100% organic and it has been made out of organic plant extracts it has natural plant based alcohols in it. This is perfect because its all natural you want to mix it as directed with water in your sprayer. Feel free to pump your hand sprayer really hard get the psi in there really high. You want to spray your buds really hard I like to blast them pretty good and soak them hard in the water/green cleaner solution. The extra psi helps blast the PM off and then the excess water residue will dry and evaporate off because once again there is organic alcohol in the juice. Milk or soap can leave a residue but the natural alcohol which kills the PM just evaporates right off after. Zero residue. You can spray it all the way to harvest day. You can even spray it right after you chop too. This has saved my butt on more than one occasion it leaves zero taste on your product trust me its worth the money just Amazon prime that shit it will save you...
