Burly Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Hi guys. I was hoping you could help me out. I think of have mildew on my plants. Could you guys help identify and suggest solutions. I’ve heard that milk and water spray is an option during lights on. I’ll leave some pics as well. There are little white circles on some leaves. I’m in flowering about 4 weeks now. It doesn’t seem to have affect the buds yet and I’ve turned up the dehumidifier in the evenings I was hitting 70 but I have really great air flow. please please help.

Burly Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 It’s only on very few leaves at this stage but I have 5 other plants and worried they might get the spores on them. you know how it goes guys, midflowering all that love and attention and my harvest might go to a loss. Stressing please any help. @Totemic @PsyCLown @StickyD420 @Stinger96 @iGrowDagga 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totemic Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 PM is a bane to any grower. There are many ways to deal with PM. From just removing the infected leaf, to using bicarb, vinegar etc. I personally always have neem in my IPM. The neem stimulates the plants immune system, increases resistance. For PM specifically though, I like spraying a bicarb solution onto the areas with good results. 1tsp dissolved in 1l. Add a drop or two of sunlight as surfactant and spray infected leaves top and bottom. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_StonedTrooper Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 As @Totemic has said, spot on. Remove the leaves infected if they aren't so many and your plant can go on without them, and or spray them with Neem oil. You can do bicarb, or just spray a very high pH water on the leaves too, or the milk, but suggest the low fat one or lactose free as that makes the rotten milk smell. Also its best to spray the plants with neem as a preventative, than deal with an outbreak. Mildew, is systemic, and will get its roots into the leaves and the plant and spread, so best to not get it, if you do and cant get rid of it, you can always wash the stuff after, but this in flowering. Also add Neem to your soil now, and remember it has NPK benefits so watch for that too when feeding and will harm Microbes, but which is worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_StonedTrooper Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) Ps, if you remove leaves or spray, or basically anything right now with regards to the mildew, turn off your fans, and use a wet cloth or something to cover the leave when removing to not send spores all over. Plus you're going to have to clean all fans, and walls and surfaces in there now, to be very sure and use peroxide and jik. Wash 2 or 3 times with new water each time. Afterwards, increase air circulation and more oscillating fans for the win. Edited July 10, 2020 by StickyD420 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burly Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 Wow thanks gents!! I have neem oil, I try @Totemic solution. Just to check can I spray the solution from totemic with Bicarb and the neem oil over flowering buds? Not together but If I use the neem oil instead. Would the neem oil also be 1ml to 1l? guys! Side note. thanks for being there to support!! Awesome to have such irie ppl around to count on. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice reminder in the fans. I’ll clean out the dehumidifier filters as well. All just clean every where with some jik and water in a spray bottle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_StonedTrooper Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Neem you dont want to do 3 to 4 weeks before flowering, my personal opinion, it's also systemic and lasts a while in the plants system. Never used the bicarb or anything other than neem, and if I had it in final stages of flower, it got the 3 bucket treatment and was good to go.

Does yours have a HEPA filter? You can't use the same one if you do, unless you spray soak it too with jik but could destroy the filters purpose. Spray bottle very handy for this job All over, the ceiling, the door, floors, anything in the room.

The_StonedTrooper Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Neem mix is on the bottle, 10ml to 1L, also a tiny bit of soap to help it stay and spread out and mix with the water. Use warmish water too. I actually up the dose to double almost when infected, but it's me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a spray bottle all over the plants or just where I see the white devils dandruff? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_StonedTrooper Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Brother, you mentioned great air flow and you some times hit 70 humidity. If understanding correctly, you changing air in the room often? Possibly slow it down for the dehumidifier to have a second to do a little more of its job before extracting it. And I've found you can even work in a sealed room, but you need to have plenty oscillating fans, and no stagnant air pockets anywhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I have great extraction and two fans in a 1.2 x 1.2 my humidity is higher at night in the 70 only because I sent my dehumidifier to 70 thinking with all that moving air in the tent I would pick up issues, this all to save on a bit of electricity, lesson learnt I’d say! What a stress mission. But I’ll slow the extraction fan to a lower setting, I dunno cause lights on when I set my dehumidifier to 50 I generally stay in that range I think I just screwed up with leaving it at 70’ in the evening thinking my “great” air flow would avoid the issues.

If that was 70 RH you probably got higher than that, it only needs a few minutes to start kak. Set your dehumidifier on 50 and it should switch on again at 55 and off at 45 now.

Do the math when installing your exhaust fan into your garden, especially when making changes. Guessing or over looking this simple step has bigger consequences! I turned my fan speed down to the size of the space required and took into consideration I only have one bend in my hosing and a short exhaust. RH in the tent is already more steady in the few hours, dehumidifier running less as well, so another plus on the electricity. Plan of action. Defoliate leaves showing signs, it is time for there 4 week clean up anyway so I can get in there. Smoke a joint..... Clean garden and equipment. Spray girls down with bicarb until dripping both on top and under all! Leaves and buds. Hit a bong...... ,... Repeat bicarb spray down for this week....? Environment controls I hope I have in order now! Smoke a joint. ....... Thanks again everyone for all the answers and care to reply, much much appreciated dudes. stay warm and irie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleasure brother, peace Morning morning. just wanted to check with you and compare my understanding of the 3 bucket system, is yours basically.... 1) bicarb 2) hydrogen Peroxide and lemon juice 3) clean water and then drying. I’m not sure if ratios on each 25l bucket? but I hope I caught this early enough, I only had a few leaves showing mildew after deflation just now. peace, keep it irie gents 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_StonedTrooper Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Good morning B, There are different variants or versions of that, but you have a good and working one. Cut the plant so you can submerge the branches completely and shake then a little in the buckets, the trichomes will be okay still. After the buckets, shake them out good, all extra water off, then hang and a oscillating fan near by, not directly on them. Should be about 1 to 2 day like that, then as normal again. Peace B, and good luck on the Competition 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_StonedTrooper Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) I personally like to do, the peroxide first, them lemon / bicarb, then clean. Plus the water at like 20deg or a little warmer, luke warm they say, but not hot or that will damage the trichomes.
