The Dreaded Powdery Mildew

It's worked just fine for me, I've used the systemic once and never had to again. ;)

I have used peroxide to knock it down and my k slicate kept it away. If they are to become plants you want to keep I would e 20 some and take cuts from them to keep. K silicate and better ventilation helps. JK

I'd go with GreenCure (half strength) or Serenade ...that PM doesn't look like it's all that bad, I'd save using the Eagle20 for a serious outbreak!! (I just don't know about smoking buds I had to treat wearing a hazmat suit!) Two myths about PM have been running around these boards like a hot potato ...1) PM does not live inside of the host plant(s), it doesn't get inside of the plant as peeps believe it attaches itself like a leach to scavenge nutes out of it. 2) PM doesn't contaminate your walls, floors, and grow equipment like peeps have stated either, again it needs to feed of plant tissue (whether dead or alive so get all those fallen & dead leaves outta your grow), but cleaning the room never hurts! Proper airflow and humidity keep PM in check, it is always lurking around us waiting for an opportunity to rear it's ugly face but the main problem as to why you're even seeing it in the 1st place, 9x/10 it's a pest or pathogen in your root zone .....RA's caused my PM outbreak, I started using Companion and Actinovate as a drench and GreenCure half strength with great success, that along with increasing my airflow and keeping the humidity in check! I've treated my moms with Bandit (Imid) and then I've started giving them and everything else Cap's Foliar & Root Pack!!


Those Thrips vector disease also!
