Just checking to see if anyone uses plant therapy in flower. I’m concerned about how it might affect resin with alcohol in the mix

Or you can use green cure. It’s safe right up to harvest but it will turn the pistils darker color after sprayed but doesn’t affect the growth or final results that I’ve noticed. Maybe do a real light treatment several times over coarse of few days may not harm pistil colors but not sure I normally hit them with a heavy mix to get rid of the PM or you can do a wash post harvest if you don’t have much longer to go.

I wouldn't use it in flower as it has vegetable oil.

You can mix your own citric acid foliar for PM.
It’s not the oil I’m worried about. I’m pretty sure it’s a lighter oil that degrades and breaks down. I’d spray when stomata are closed to avoid clog up.
I’m thinking that the alcohol could wash resin if sprayed fairly heavy

Or just buy some potassium bicarbonate. Both citric acid and potassium bicarbonate work. I think citric acid is more effective but you stand the chance of damaging plants with it if not careful. Both are inexpensive and you can purchase enough to last years for $15. Both can be used in an organic garden as well.

I used this stuff at day ten and it worked without affecting anything. They days I used it were low light and back to normal the next day but I raised the lights for one day
I’d like to try Dr Zymes stuff but I’m in Canada.

It's soybean oil with a dash of peppermint essential oil. What they list as the active ingredient for PM is citric acid. There isn't enough alcohol in it to do anything to the trichomes. The oil is the issue in flower.

I just bought a couple pounds of potassium bicarbonate but haven’t used it.

What does the oil do in flower?
