I noticed that both BCK & RB both get PM but beat it back very quickly when put into living soil
@Dr.D81 both those clones are thriving now One turned fuzzy (RB#17) all over the next day after I picked them up from U
I didn't think she'd make at all been touch & go for weeks but she under a quantum board & loves it PM gone

Yeah I understand him doing it, he's breeding and selling the wares...me, as a grower, I wouldnt do that.....why bring something in, just to see....

when u lose 1/2 or a 3rd of a Greenhouse crop to something I can test strains for I am Now proactive
I've had my surprises & learned from them

I LAB/horsetail fern/fulvic/silica as a regular almost daily in my G/H summer grows
alternate BT in there to catch any butterflies that make into a open door way
only had one worm last year & Actually think it was a lacewing larval
didn't have any PM last year but that LSD

again PM is present in my environment Soo at some point any grow by me is subject to infection everywhere & anywhere
so me being proactive with my PM control measures I infect all new seedlings to pm as they are going to be exposed to it sooner or later anyway , some strains will take PM & beat it , some it weakens the plant very slowly & in flower it will suddenly just melt

the point is , u say PM 'can' be anywhere ...in my world (local environment) it's present 24/7 all year except June & July parts of Aug , every morning there is a PM bloom as the dew point & temp make it happy for 3 to 4 hours
do u get the process of why i test my new strains that i plan on running

I don't even put in my garden things which could be PM infections waiting to happen....So I just avoid big dense budding cultivars...Never had any issues. The only thing which PM's here is squash, so guess what, I don't plant squash....My thoughts are, why even chance it...If I come across something new which attracts it, I cull that fucker for good

I'm surrounded by the pacific ocean & the bay & what makes it worse is I'm in ranch country so there is alotta dust in the air from dirt roads & ranches (PM loves to bloom on dusted leaves )
so daily foliliars r the norm
& neither that big Ocean or the Bay gets above 55F so when the fog rolls off either, that temp swing & dew point gets weird that PM likes
my local PM blooms to beat the band , so any strain that is pm sensitive struggles here

Im on the coast so at least I get alot of air movement. Most everything I have selected to run here has been due to the fact they are fairly known for PM resistance. Check out what I have run, maybe theres some things in there which would do well. And just to clarify I wasnt knocking you Fastslappy, just trying to understand your process.

my testing isn't in any flower/veg room nor the g/h
I have a single cob bar that all teen seedling go under 4 testing ,stressing & sexing
after running suspect genes that were LARF or poor bud structure I test em all
yeah i waste some beans but better to waste beans than waste time , $ & soil on poor buds due to gene pool issues that u hope gets better as the grow progresses lol

Ok, now I get ya! If you had said that first I would have understood straight away. I do something similar, cull early if they are shit, don't care if I paid for them or not.

Have not, but have you thought about trying this?
Also, there is increasing evidence (in the 'straight' horticulture world) to support the use of potassium silicate products as systemic fungicides, instead of as a source of P as they're usually sold in the cannabis community.
