Thanks man. I picked up some Lost Coast, Dr Zymes, and also Regalia CG. i am less experienced at this than a lot of you so I didn’t plan a sufficient IPM. I am learning a lot thanks to this community. A fun hobby. Thanks everyone!I've used low fat milk with success, but if it gets infested with PM, it's all over but the crying. I've used baking soda too, in flower, like a dumbass. It totally scorched all the pistils, ruined the terps and the whole plant, tasted like ass. It was at my second location that doesn't get babied and it had progressed past what I would normally try to salvage, but I gave it a failed attempt and learned a lesson that day lol. It's better to keep a close eye and preventative spray than try to get rid of it, I preventative spray with Lost Coast. Defoliation to increase airflow also helps.
hmmm...bummer. Here's a recipe I found for homemade Dr.Zymes for future if you want to research this, I have no idea if this works.Unfortunately, not available in Canada as far as I can tell
If powdery mildew is showing up, it's most likely because of humidity swings. You're daytime humidity is probably lower than you're night time humidity, This is true for winter growing, especially in the midwest or north. The furnace will be on all day long taking all the humidity out of the air. And your grow lights are on at the same time taking even more humidity out of the air. And then you're lights shut off and you're humidity rises! I'm talking 30%-50% SWING!!!Hi Growers. In case it shows up, I’m wondering what’s the best treatment and/or preventative (besides airflow and pruning)?
Here is what I understand:
-Potassium silica during veg
-Foliar spray/spot treat with baking soda spray (2 tablespoons per gallon)
-Milk spray - 1 part milk and 9 parts water - but don’t spray too low because the sun activates it.
-Tribus- can you foliar this during flower?
-Regalia CG - biofungicide - can this be used during flower?
- Dr Zymes - all throughout flower
Best bet is to defoliate the affected area? For example if it’s on lower larf or foxtails?
If during week 7-8 - harvest and Cervantes bathing routine.
What do you all think - is this bro science or what? :-)
Thanks Growers!
Thank you for your common sense approach on this sir!If powdery mildew is showing up, it's most likely because of humidity swings. You're daytime humidity is probably lower than you're night time humidity, This is true for winter growing, especially in the midwest or north. The furnace will be on all day long taking all the humidity out of the air. And your grow lights are on at the same time taking even more humidity out of the air. And then you're lights shut off and you're humidity rises! I'm talking 30%-50% SWING!!!
And then the lights come on the next day and you see it on your leaves! Yup its PM!
I really like Biofungicides and a product called Nickel 55. It's basically copper and it's OMRI.
So for me I would probably either raise my PH to 9.0 ~ Regalia CG ~ Nickel 55
BUT KEEPING RH FROM SWINGING MORE THAN 15% IS THE REAL CURE.
Happy growing fellers!
I've had great results from half water half milk mix in a spray bottle.Spray with Potassium Bicarbonate instead of baking soda
Potassium bicarbonate additives can help kill powdery mildew spores on contact, while also increasing the pH level on the surface of the leaves. A pH level above 8.3 on the surface of the leaves discourages fungi.
No hairdryer since that applies heat. Only have a fan blowing for half the day or overnight and then check to make sure there’s no wet buds especially at the tips if you’ve got your plants hung upside down.So you actually do the Cervantes bath? You use a hair dryer then dry your normal way? I may try that. Thanks.

I've used it outside in the past with great results. I used low fat to avoid souring and sprayed it off after it worked. Not sure I'd do it in flower... and I think it needs the actual sun to have the full effect.Do you really want milk rotting on your weed? I don't.
Just for PMDoes it kill anything else?
Just for I've had great results with Nickel 55 fungicide for PM. It's OMRI too!
Hey yall you tube videos on how to make LABs lactic acid bacteria serum it made fro. Milk and any complex carb , rice , barley and corn meal aI've used low fat milk with success, but if it gets infested with PM, it's all over but the crying.
