Grow Room Infected With Powdery Mildew :/ Help!

[MMJ Mademoiselle]

Hey everyone, I have a growing with up to 400-500 cuts sometimes and recently I have been spotting some "powdery mildew" substances on MANY of the cuts. Any suggestions on what to do from here as far as 1. treating the infected plants and 2. what to do about the grow room itself to stop/prevent this from happening in the future. Thanks so much and happy growing to all!

Bleach everything. Get your rh down and get more ventilation and air moving. Then buy a slulpher burner and use it. In the mean time spray with one teaspoon per gallon of baking soda mixed with one spray bottle full of water. Hit the clones with that. Oh and the bleach is for the walls and equipment, not the plants good luck.

400-500 cuts? eagle 20 it as long as its in veg. Dont hit a flowering plant with eagle 20 lol. But with that many cuts airflow is probably your main problem. Dont bleach everything imo. Pm is everywhere, from the air your bringing in, when you open your grow room door, to it being on your cloths, skin, and hair. Just spray with eagle 20 and your done, its systemic and will stay within the plant killing pm before it can grab a hold on your cuts. Spray once and get good coverage and never worry about pm again. If your running a sulphur bunner you cant run co2. All co2 monitors will break if you run burn sulphur. Just some good facts to know. Oh btw compass works well but it takes longer to take effect and its harder to get.

Alienwidow knows whats up. X2 on the sulpher burner. You can buy one, or diy and make one. Sulpher prills are like $10 for a 2lb bag, and it will last you many years.
Good air circulation and a clean environment keep it at bay once knocked out.

So dont clean your room? Ok no. You lost me already. Im pretty sure you also referenced co2 and clones in the same sentence. Ya wanna elaborate on the cloning co2 process? Cause i didnt read about that one. And when the hell are you going to walk into the grow room with pm on your skin and clothes? Really? Maybe if you crawl out of the ditch. Clean your shit. Burn the sulphur after a couple baking soda treatments. Really you can fit over 600 clones under one umbrella or xxxl, so i doubt this is a huge containment area for the clones. The room on the other hand, i doubt is still in veg if your seeing pm on clones.
Get the plants as far away from each other as possible. Then get the air moving, big time. Clean out the middle of plants. Wipe down plants with baking soda solution. The biggest thing with any plant problem is vigilance. Attack the problem with work, and your work will inevitably pay off.

Lmfao you didn't seem to read much eh?

Let me clear some stuff up because you didn't read. Bleaching the whole room isn't needed. Pm is in the air. Don't believe me? Google it guy. So knowing that it's in the air you really only have three options, kill it using a product that is systematic, increase ventilation, or seal the room off and run c02. So your a big user of sulphur apparently yet you don't know that sulphur effects co2 monitors? Really dude? It's growing 101

Pm is in the air. You bleach the room the next day you'll have pm spores waiting to find a host. As I said it's growing 101. Spraying the plants with a systemic product and making them immune to pm is a lot less work for a sulphur burner that bearly works.

 

[slapmehard]

you are right jungle

pm can get on you and around you very easy at certain times of year.
1 thing to know about pm is it spreads very easy on COOL DRY WINDY DAYS not wet days,it grows well in high humidity.you have to learn the difference....it is a spore
it sticks well on wet plants
.pm has got to be learned about and not given conditions that favor its growth
use the baking soda soap trick it cures halfway decent and milk diluted to help prevent
you got it so now you can just control it
I stopped misting any indoor plants decades ago but I guess your cuttings were in a tent and low light ....try to back off on the misting.
remember weed is very very easy to grow you just have to id issues before they are a problem.
if you are a big grower and don't want to worry sure go chem if you must.

Thank you finally someone that knows what there talking about. Thats exactly why I recommended a chemical product, when your dealing with that many cuts, home remedies dont cut it.

lol

He had to state that, who knows with people these days lol

 

[Skeet Kuhn Dough]

Ikr. It was still a quotable quote though. I thought about adding it to my sig lol

 

[Jimmy Sparkle]

Exactly why I do not overcrowd my grow room and NEVER bring outside plants in. Been around a little bit and the only time (twice) BTW I got P.M was from outside sources. Also lots of people using systemic fungicides which I do not want near my organic/natural grows and definitely don't want plants that have been treated with it. Those things bond with the plant on a cellular level becoming intertwined with the plants cells and ultimately end up in your body. Burn sulphur it works really,really well if you're patient and do it right. It's not just a disinfectant and fungicide but also a sterilant and preventative. It's very corrosive to sensitive electronics and exposed metal. Vineyards use a sulphur solution and have for ever . It's gasses get in on ,under and around EVERYTHING leaving no spores viable . Good luck

Ya i read your post and ignored it. Anyone who thinks cleaning is not a good solution to a problem should be ignored. And just for you i did some reading on the topic to make sure i wasnt talking out of my ass, and every indoor piece of literature says clean the room with bleach or fungicide. I also like to make sure i clean fan blades with it, prefilters over carbon filters, and all surfaces. If thats not growing 101 i don't know what is, its the same for every pest or problem you encounter. Clean the room. Growing 101 https://www.icmag.com/modules/Tutorials/PlantTrouble/Art1.htm
Heres a helpful link for you to read. It has a lot of basic info for ya.

There's a product called "The Amazing Dr Zymes" it kills mildew and russet mites too. I had thrips and whiteflys this stuff melted them they are gone and it does the same thing to mold and mildew it is non toxic just don't spray plants when the lights are on because in will burn them. put it in your google man.....or a hydro store near by.

What a fool, I didnt wana quote where your wrong but I guess I'll have to dumb dumb.

You state this.

Ya i read your post and ignored it. Anyone who thinks cleaning is not a good solution to a problem should be ignored. .

Every grow I have been in is clean, just because you have pm your going to rip the whole room apart and bleach everything? Ok dumb dumb, even tho your icmag link says that pulling the leaf is sufficent. Heres the quote from your mighty icmag proving you wrong.
"There are several options for powdery mildew elimination. Sometimes removing infected leaves or plants and adjusting humidity levels are sufficient measures to correct the problem. "

So I said that pm is everywhere right dumb dumb?

Dont bleach everything imo. Pm is everywhere, from the air your bringing in, when you open your grow room door, to it being on your cloths, skin, and hair.

You replied saying you rarely get pm on you right Dumb Dumb? Only if you crawl in a ditch? Flawless logic

And when the hell are you going to walk into the grow room with pm on your skin and clothes? Really? Maybe if you crawl out of the ditch.

Even when your icmag post states that its everywhere HAHA Here this is what it says
"Unfortunately, despite every precaution, there are always opportunities for these sinister microscopic nuisances to make their way to your grow room. They can hitch a ride on just about anything that enters the room and eek out an existence in a sheltered area where conditions are favourable. Before long the mold is visible on leaf surfaces and the garden is infested. "

So I stated that sulpher burners break c02 monitors right?

If your running a sulphur bunner you cant run co2. All co2 monitors will break if you run burn sulphur. Just some good facts to know. Oh btw compass works well but it takes longer to take effect and its harder to get.

So I dont know where the hell you get this from, your boarder line mentally retarded.

Ya wanna elaborate on the cloning co2 process? Cause i didnt read about that one.

You clearly have the reading abilities of a idiot lol. Just my two cents lol
From titan and check blueprint or other co2 controllers all are to not be used with sulpher or you do irreversible damage to the sniffer.
http://www.titancontrols.net/products/co2-devices/atlas-1-with-remote.aspx
Caution:Sulphur vaporization can damage your controller! To protect your controller, it is important to disconnect and cover the Atlas 1 by wrapping with a plastic bag OR remove the controller from the grow area while using sulphur vaporizers in your grow room. Titan Controls can analyze and detect CO2 components that have been contaminated & damaged by sulphur vaporization. We reserve the right to not repair these defective units under warranty, however we can repair & return your Atlas 1 for a fee, if you'd like us to.

I'd argue with you but honestly your not worth my time and I have a lot of free time lol. Your a degenerate But I know you'll get your panties in a bunch so I'll wait for your little piss poor reply

 

[HydroRed]

I wouldnt see it being a hassle to wrap a bag around the co2 sensor for a 2-3 hr treatment though to utilize the effects of a sulpher burner if by chance you happen to run co2. Since getting the sulfer burner my problems are gone. Not a bug or a powdery mildew since. I think its a far stretch to say that a sulfer burner "barely works". That and I wouldnt want a systemic in my plants since they are toxic & stay in the plant too long (approx 45 days), and you are restricted on when you can use it a lot more than with a sulpher burner.

Uhhh, hey butthurt, i dont remember ever saying anything you stated was incorrect besides that you should clean your room. You can spray plants with whatever you want, but if you have...say a garbage bag with leaves in it thats decomposing, or have a wall on the otherside of a plant that fans are moving across, covered with spores, then theres going to be weed specific pm strains floating around the grow room. If your carbon scrubber in your sealed room has sucked them up and theyre stuck in the prefilter, theyll keep belching into the room long after youve sprayed your plants with fungicides. Thats why you clean. Fuck me, i dont get why i have to spoon feed you this shit. Like when you get mites do you just spray the plants? Gnats, do you just treat the roots? For a guy who swears its everywhere you dont take many precautions do ya?
Also, what the hell are you blithering on about co2 monitors for? The op said nothing about co2. And theyre clones! Do you pump co2 into your clone domes? Where is this coming from? Who cares about a co2 controler? Not the op, not me, you do for some odd reason.
Finally bra, when i stated that cleaning is a great idea, and you swore your bringing it in on your clothes, you do know that theres lots of strains of pm that dont affect weed right? Pm is everywhere, but not all strains of it are going to harm the plant your worried about. Thats why you clean smart guy. The spores of a strain of pm that has already successfully Invaded your room and started feeding off of the plants that are in your room, everywhere. Those are the ones you need to concern yourself with. Not the minuscule amount you drag in from outside floating in the air. They have to attach and start multiplying for that strain to become a problem, and when youve changed the ph of the leaf via treatment like baking soda, new strains cant start up new colonies.
I really dont think any of this is going to make any sense to you since for some reason you figure sulphur burners affecting co2 monitors is growing 101? And that theres even a co2 monitor in question....Maybe you just got the wrong thread your replying at? Or maybe you dont know how to read? Maybe the reading comprehension isnt your strong suit, cause im pretty sure when i hear clones are sick with pm, i dont think co2 monitor. The one thing i do know for sure is that you got a whole pile of butthurt youre holding on to there. My first post is a helpfull and logical solution and you decide that the fictitious co2 monitor is more important than going through the motions of eliminating pm. Ok bud. You go girl.
