Powdery Mildew, is it too late?

[Mexguy316]

Hello everyone, i'm a first time grower and I have a couple of plants going on my 6-7th week of flowering, I've never grown indoors before and I have two 600w HPS lights, and im on a 6-18 cycle. I had Powdery Mildew problem in the fourth week of vegetative growth but used PM Wash to get rid of it which it did because it didn't spread and I thought I got rid of the problem entirely. Now I'm looking at them with nugs blooming but theres HELLA white stuff all over the plants and the top of the plants, could somebody please tell me what's going on with it? is it salvageable this late into the cycle? pixs below!

done, and im pretty sure most would say the same... i lost 3 sour grapes in week 6 also due to PM... just take the hit and dont risk it. not worth your health

Green cure might be of use, cant remember if you can use it that late, i think you can. Get maximum fresh air flow in there, pick most of your leaves off with that shittz on them, cut any buds off that are heavily infested to slow down spreading.

Kill those now! There is nothing to save on any of those plants. Clean up start over get a sulphur burner read some of the pm threads here on the farm. Sorry to say those plants are toast.You need a major sanitizing!

those plants are a wrap dude. you could green cure the shit out of them, but i wouldn't inhale that into my lungs. if you green cure them heavily you might be able to make hash out of them. trust me, do not smoke those! your lungs will thank you.

Sorry but they are toast. I have tons of experience with pm and I can tell you how to keep this from ruining any future crops. First, you can use this batch as edibles. I don't like edibles so I would cut them down and start over. Once you have had this stuff there is a good chance you are going to get it again. Green cure, high ph foliar sprays and all other products you here about on this forum will help suppress* pm but IT IS GOING TO COME BACK. Here is what I do. First, go and get a sulphur burner and do a good long burn. I do a 4hr burn in a 250 cubic foot room.
Reason is the spores get into everything, fans, lights, nooks crannies, EVERYTHING. Then clean the room thoroughly. Remember I said you would probably get it again, that's because it's all over the place outside*and the spores are airborne. Also keep in mind that once a plant gets pm you cant cure it only keep it dormant. And the only stuff I know of that will do that is Quantum. Start giving plants 1 1/2 tsp/gal every three weeks and you won't see this stuff again. Also giving green cure and high ph water in flower will make the smoke harsh, also if you have to do a sulphur burn once in flower it's already inside the buds and it's over.

2 cents

Just wanted to add that GreenCure will also turn all your pistils brown. I have battled pm before and used greencure until I found something better. While I no longer have pm issues anymore, for now lol! I would refer you to your fridge, yes the the fridge, get you some milk and a spray bottle, mix 35% milk to 65% water and drench them plants. It will knock the crap out of pm, it wont kill it of course but IMO it works better than greencure and no brown pistils. OH and by the way those plants are just about some of the worst I have seen, I would bury them suckkers so they arent filling the air around your grow with more pm spores. Hope it helps.

Some hall of fame pm in these pictures! Dont make any pm dust when you clean up if possible....those plants look like a winter wonderland of pm!

I agree milk does help, but if you have a large grow you will miss spots and bingo there it is. Also some strains don't like high humidity in flower which comes with foliar spraying. Quantum will keep mildew dormant and in time you won't even look for this stuff. I have a Chemdog #4 mother that has it and I don't even think about it. It's a lot easier than spraying withe milk every 3rd day or so. Too bad that was a nice looking grow.

Use eagle 20 every grow. Stops pm from ever coming. Its the bomb. Meanwhile sulphur burn, and bleach the room. Most peeps are right, it dont look good.
