There are a few types of mildew people can get actually, they all tend to get lumped together. The conditions these types thrive in will vary.
Plant health is the biggest thing. With that comes growing conditions and nutrient uptake. Nutrient uptake is one thing that a lot of guys can get a handle on (although if you're using bottles of chemicals it will be a lot more difficult), but sometimes conditions are difficult to control if you're relying on outside air.

Thanks.... Soooo basically keep your girls as happy as possible and it signifigantly reduces the odds of getting it. Obviously environmental conditions do play a role.... Wouldnt the use of an ozone generator eliminate PM? Maybe running ozone a half hour a day?

Yeah people do use ozone to kill it. Ozone is a bit controversial though. I don't know enough about it to really recommend it one way or the other. The first two sentences are about all I know, literally.

For whatever reason, only in the spring, in the morning my house smells really strong from my grow. It has for years, but only for a couple months, and only in the morning? Strange...
Anyways, i began using an ozone gerator 2 years ago in the mornings during April & May. Run it for 20 minutes and all smells are eliminated. It has never effected my girls in any way amd I think that is part of the controversy. People fear that it can harm your plants

I know some folks fear it can harm them too, not just plants. But like I said, I don't honestly know enough about the subject to have a strong opinion. I do know it works fantastic for eliminating odor. I also know it has a really distinct tell tale odor that could be a dead giveaway in certain situations to people who know. Kind of like ona gel. Still, highly useful.
Smoking in my apartment was a lot less a hassle with a can of Ozium lying around. No issues with neighbours complaining that way.
Hah, I actually have the same thing. It freaks me out during that time when I walk out of the house and smell fresh buds floating in the air. I even run a carbon filter throughout the night and still the smell is easily apparent the moment I walk out the front door.
Doesn't last real long though, by 8:30-9am, the smell is gone.

From what I've read and heard lately many of the terpenes produced inside the trichome are quite volatile, boiling off or vaporizing at as low as 55 degrees(while the plant is alive). When you smell it in the air, it's because it's been boiled off the plant essentially and vaped into the air from the light and heat..... at least the way I've come to understand it. Think butane how it boils at room temp. Same shit but these are wonderful essential oils releasing aromas into the air. Think aromatherapy. With nighttime temps naturally being lower than lights on temps plants are almost always most fragrant in the early morning and this holds true outside of cannabis as well.
As to why only in the spring I don't know that is odd. Maybe that's the plant being in sync with nature and the planets seasonal rhythm? When the plant is happiest in harmony with nature thus in optimal cannabinoid production. I know it's crazy stoner hippie pseudo-science but maybe something to think about. I like to think that we still don't know shit about how the universe works.

i think from the girls being hungry for N couldve made my pm prob a lil worse, since i hit em with N theyve been resistant and for the most part fought back. iv also been running my room hotter and dryer in the past week, specially night time temps. thinking after this last trreatment it shouldnt come back. just moved into a new space where there should be zero humidity buildup in those micro climates as ill really have good air flow. crosses fingers lol

Y are you nervous about breeding with infected plants? You wont change the genetics of the offspring, but you may actually climatize them so that they build up an immunity to PM.

someone was saying pm can get passed on. im skeptical though and just thinking out loud.
