So wet here this year. Nova scotia canada. Wondering what is best and easiest on plants to use to prevent powdery mildew and fungus. Organic and am I too late to use it? Flowers have started. Thanks

I'd say find ways to help them dry. Maybe some pruning to increase airflow through the plant or some fans.

Critical,

I just bought a 50lb bag of KHCO₃ for $25.00. Your one pound of the same stuff cost you $25.00. Silly.

Get as much space as you can between the pots to allow for good airflow. In fact, if one becomes infected it can very easily spread to the others. The spores are ubiquitous. Be careful of splashing water off the ground and hitting the lower leaves. It’s a crap shoot. Good luck. Nice looking plants by the way.

Zill.

I use amazing Dr zymes and it works great for the wpm. Not sure if you can get it shipped to Canada but I use it up till harvest without issue.

CW,

I use the bicarbonate to maintain a proper pH in my pool water to stabilize chlorine levels.

Somebody already said trimming out some growth, which I see you have. Pick up all the trimmings so it doesn’t breed fungus right under your plants.

I use organic neem, soap, and silica to help with fungus.

We use a small gas operated leaf blower to blow water off the plants.

potassium bicarbonate will most likely burn your pistils in flower. Try pure crop 1, Some places in canada sell it
