Using foggers for PM prevention?

[HappyHooker]

I usually start having PM start showing up in my greenhouse around mid September, and beat it back every other day with Pure crop till they finish. I'm tired of spraying by hand, and looking for a easier way short of using E20. Any advice would be great.

Think all the oil sprays protect from PM... Dr Doom and Neem oil products. I’ve seen videos of Kangen water growers using 2.5ph and 11.5ph water to combat PM and pests. No pesticides just water

I thought the oils might be an issue in most products...
The PH thing is interesting, I watched guys in Oregon do it on a large scale a year or so ago. Ideal, I just am afraid to roast my plants by messing up contact time etc. I'm going to look into it further. If I can do it for a reasonable price( I want automation). Sounds like I'll be buying x2 for the different resivoirs, to apply in a timely manner. Unless I come up with something better, or someone else already has.

No you need a good water system. The Kangen can change water to a wide variety of ph’s. Plus ionization of the water makes it more useable to your plants. I have a low end unit it gives me 6.0 and 11.5. I used dr doom and neem. The 11.5 washes the oil right off. So one week oil one week water. I always over power my ventilation and knock on wood never been visited by the PM fairy

3k for my little greenhouse is too rich for me. Might be better off buying 2, X9 atomizing foggers loaded with the opposing PH adjusted water. Be about 500 bucks

Do you have any issues with pistils turning brown from this method?

You use neem through flower?

I hear you on adequate ventilation. My total air exchange in my greenhouse is around 5min. I also use plenty of fans,auto pump dehumidifier, etc.
Still..
It's damn tough for me to knock down the humidity at night. Ladies getting rid of water inside the greenhouse. Dew, high humidity outside air coming in. Pretty much just exchanging humid air at that point, but it is what it is.

I used dr doom last three weeks in flower. It’s canola based. Light spray on underside of leaves as much as possible.

I'm glad I don't have mite issues.

Pull the bottom of your plastic up a foot/half foot and put some fans on the floor to help recirculate the moist air that's usually trapped in there! Even with big 6' dual exhaust fans on the end of a 24'x50' we still had mold until we pulled our plastic up a little. Small wonders :)

I keep things pretty sealed, I run a charcoal filter. Vents on opposite sides for intake air. I live in suburbia. So discreet is important.
Things have gone well considering.

Also dr doom by flying skull is a fantastic pm spray. I would even work it into a monthly spray rotation for preventative maintenance. Eagle 20 is some hardcore stuff but if you use it early enough it should be out of by harvest.
