Thank you for your help. A ph of 10 seems really quite high...I'd try to raise the pH on top of that peroxide mixture, get it to 10 and it's a PM treatment by itself. I would spray as often as I'm seeing fruiting bodies.
Consider a horticultural oil that also acts as a physical blocker, such as Storch or, my own preferred, JMS Stylet.
Separate, because I don't know how those oils will react, combine or otherwise with the peroxide. Yes, 10 *is* quite high, it's what kills the spores (fruiting bodies). That's why sulfur burning works, it raises the pH on the leaf surfaces, IIRC. I sure hope I'm recollecting correctly!Thank you for your help. A ph of 10 seems really quite high...
The horticultural oil is to be used with the H2O2 or seperate as another PM treatment?
I tried your advice of raising the ph to 10 with the 1 cup to 1 gallon mixture. However; my plants appeared to have burned from the application. A lot of the leaves [not all] have a rust color to them. The leaves look like PM may have died, but changed color and shrivled the leaves where the PM may have been.That is correct! The fungus you don't want to be using water for is Septoria, aka black spot disease, as it's vectored by splashing water.

I am trying to clarify sizing with you when it comes to usuing a sulphur burner. When you mention 'sizable grow operation' are you referring to warehouse size? I realize many on the forum are tent growers and others have larger grow rooms. In my case I have a bloom room with four 4'x8' trays in perpetual grow with seperate veg and dry rooms. While I am not a 'warehouse' opertion, I believe I am larger than some posters this site.you're welcome man and i'd say a sulphur burner would be way overkill unless you have a fairly sizable op.
if you do your homework and learn about the lifecycle of this and any future pests you encounter you will find ways to mostly prevent outbreaks or infestations and you'll know how to treat them if and when they do arise. ...and like i said, unless you have a pretty big op or you live in an unfriendly climate you shouldn't ever need specialized stuff like sulphur burners.
...as far as keeping your op clean i'd say that's an individual thing and while i'd never promote slovenlyness in your habits, i'm a lazy phuck by nature so i'm pretty relaxed when it comes right down to it, i figure ganja evolved to grow in dirt so as long as my dirt isn't full of pathogens and pests i should be ok, lol. ...my goal is 'not sloppy', that's as far as i'm willing to go.
i've been at this hobby for almost 8 years now and i've only ever had pm once and that was early in my second year and it came to me on a gifted clone, ...be careful with gifts bearing gifts, lol.
not that i regret the gift either because i learned how to deal with pm AND i acquired one of the Chemdog D cuts, or not who knows with gifts, lol, the fact remains she was and still is a keeper for real and is still a major part of my collection, in fact i just flipped 6 just a couple of days ago, one a re-veg going in for her second harvest and five first timers.
anyway, i believe knowledge will be your best weapon against this pm infection and any future problems that you will indeed run into, ...believe me, if you do the research you will find better ways than technology and chemistry to solve these common problems.
peace, bozo
...well, that is indeed big enough for me to consider it 'sizable', i'm still a hobbyist at heart, but i think still small enough that you should be able to prevent pm with environmental controls like adding a couple more circulation fans and maybe doing some defoliation, ...and a dehuey, pm likes the air warm, still and moist so that would help take away another environmental element favorable to pm.I am trying to clarify sizing with you when it comes to usuing a sulphur burner.

sting product. I wonder how it gets to the underside of leafs when you have quite a canopy of plants all together?currently testing home hobby uv-c light to rid pm. u tube---
