PM will most definitely spread to cannabis.

I used to get PM on my squashes and cucumbers really bad. Last couple of years I've been doing preventative spraying before it even shows up. I spray the leaves weekly with neem during the growing season. This year my pumpkins leaves started dying off like they normally do without ever having gotten PM. I stopped spraying a couple weeks ago and now it's showing up on what's left of my cucumbers. I didn't get it on my squashes either. Unfortunately I had to dig them up early to fix some siding on the side of the house where they were planted. Should have thought about that summer project I needed to do before planting on the side of the house.

Same here in New England, raining again today after the heaviest rains I've seen in years yesterday. Tomatoes are dead, most herbs too, only thing that seems to live in this is basil ?

This Friday will be 3 weeks I've had Bud hanging. I took the toy dehumidifier out and added a 2nd fan, turned down low pointing away, on the floor to fight mold and mildew because those toy dehumidifiers are not going to do anything when it's 93% rh

In 3 weeks I think I filled my small 1 liter dehumidifier twice and it's still mostly full right now

Indoors I'm rotating sprays of neem, baking soda and copper every Wednesday & burning sulfur every Sunday, what a freaking nightmare!

May starts sprays every Tuesday and Friday, but so far everything is in check

* wanted to add that vegetative plants really seem to love neem oil

We have been having some sunny days here in Portland but the rain is on the way. Nights are dropping into the forties and humidity is way up. Cold humid nights. My basil is growing great right now also. My cherry tomatoes are still doing okay but they usually go pretty late. My Siletz are all done and the rest of the green Mortgage Lifters are going to eaten as fried green tomatoes. A few cucumbers still hanging on as the leaves turn yellow. Beans are history. Red Peppers are turning red. About ready to wrap this season up.

Ive done a fair bit of reading into PM over the last year, and I have learned the opposite, that there are 1000's of different types of pm each one only affecting specific plants. Everything that I read, even as far as genome analysis has supported this. Please provide whatever your basing your claim of, I am very curious, as well doubtful when someone makes a claim like this, because even scientists don't fully know everything yet, and haven't been able to say for sure.

is it worth gambling? it probably has more to do with conditions being good for it to begin with, but even if some strains of pm won't grow on different plants, doesn't mean you can't carry spores in on a plant that's been outside exposed to it.

I understand that the fungi that causes powdery mildew can be host specific. I guess "spread" was the wrong word to use. What I meant was that the same conditions that allow for PM to develop on other plants are the same conditions that can cause it to occur on cannabis. So if you're growing outdoors and see PM on other plants there is a possibility that it can develop on cannabis growing under the same conditions.

Agreed, I have just vegetable plants outside and have noticed PM was the norm on some varieties, but no cannabis outside, just inside I have those ;)

it was strange, i just had 5 tomato plants this year, 3 romas, and 2 better boys, they came from the same packages of seeds.
one of the romas and one of the better boys were much more resistant to insects, particularly aphids. thought that was kind of strange. keeping a couple of fruit worth of seeds off of each one to run next year, see if they breed true

Select a good genetic seeds or keep a pest-resistant crops makes better your "tomato'' or the harvest.:bigjoint::bigjoint:
In Hawaii, for example, a new pest-resistant species of papaya tree had been developed in response to ring-spot virus infections in the last few decades. :weed:
