WPM and treatment.

[OrganicLit]

I’ve seen so mny different things on how to tackle WPM. I’m about 3 weeks into flower and I’m noticing white spots. I’ve used hydrogen peroxide with water(1tbsp per gallon) But it doesn’t seem that effective. I’m starting to feel like I should just cull the whole thing, sanitize and start over.

Pictures. Personally I would mist the plants at lights out to prevent spores and remove all affected leaves. I have never had to treat PM so I will leave the best treatment options to others but finding the root cause is going to be the key to success. If you just start over your likely to have it again. The most likely cause in my mind is the humidity spike that happens at lights out, dense foliage with poor circulation throughout. Its a lot less likely to be an issue if you have good air flow throughout the plant and not just over the canopy. I run fans below and above that create a cyclone type of air movement. I also have a temp controller that i can program multiple set points, this allows me to lower the temps over a longer period of time and prevents that spike in humidity from the temp drop after the lights go out.

The hard truth is that in flower, there's nothing safe that will have it stone cold dead. Air movement and proper, stable humidity will go a long way to minimizing the damage done. Even so, I've caught it in a 32sqft area with 45% humidity and tons of air movment.
In the way of natural treatments, I've found alternating between a mix of high test h2o2 and procidic, and actinovate to yield the best results.

Sulphur burner. Short burns of one hour, once every 5 days up to a week before chop.

There's a product called doctor enzymes that claims to safely remove PM - it's 100% organic and leaves no residue. I pre-emptively spray everything with regalia (which is another safe PM product but very expensive and not available in California w/out a license.)

Sulfur works but not after week 3 usually unsafe if you are going to use leaves and whatnot for oil.

3 weeks isnt too long in flower. Foliar regala, actinovate, or sm-90. Wait 3 days, do it once more.

Keep those temp/rh swings in check
