Sorry to bug ya I was worried that was to strong because says all applications only 1 ounce a gallon.
After Marrone's merger they removed their small tank mixing instructions however you can read them here:

4 tbsp/gallon for foliar is 60 ml/gallon which is 2 ounces since 1 tablespoon is 15 ml and I'm calling an ounce 30 ml for ease of math when it's actually 28.5 ml/oz, hope that helps

It's 4 tablespoons/gal when disease is present or likely.
2 gal refers to per 1000 sq ft.
Exactly and one is dilution rate the other is application amount. Anyway the time I had recurrent PM in my Bodhi Lucky Charms I was using 1 oz/gal and it didn't really knock it back. I found the small tank mixing and doubled it to 2 oz/gal and it knocked it back and got me to harvest, (seeded crop of genetics I needed). The plants didn't seem to notice the difference.

Lost Coast Plant Therapy will cure it with one treatment. It’s safe through flower.
spray the entire plant, top and bottoms of leaves and all the stems. Also the top of the dirt.
turn off the light until the plant dries after spraying.

Simple high PH (9) water is enough to disrupt the cell wall and kill the visible part of the powdery mildew infection.
1 tablespoon of Potassium Bicarbonate or Sodium Bicarbonate (household baking soda) to 1 gallon of water.
Drench spray once a week seeding to week of harvest. It will control the PM used weekly.
Being just water it is the lowest risk agent possible.

Ive tried this baking soda method and it does work. Alternating between baking soda water and milk spray definitely controlled the pm. However, the pm did not go away until I defoliated the big bush and created better airflow.

Good luck

I sprayed yesterday at 2 ounces a gallon then two hours later showers came through, should I wait 6 days to spray again or reapply tomorrow. Thanks bud

It causes an immune response in the plant, let a few days go by. It just dripped into the roots.
Stronger doses when plant has PM will help keep the response activated.

Yummy soybean oil in the buds. Like everything mentioned here there is no cure for PM all we can do is prevent it. Before you go off I have tried lost coast it does not cure Pm it barely held it at bay I have moved on to zero Tol an very much liking what i see when it comes to PM an its very clean no oils! I wash my outdoor bud in it with no ill effects to the crop.

in my 30+ years of growing I’ve never ever won the war against pm…it’s the absolute worst thing to happen in my garden
PM and Caterpillars are the only things I have to fight. Since I have to apply BT weekly for the caterpillars once flower starts in early Aug I know the PM isn't far behind and start with the high PH water for the PM. I have to stay on top of both weekly applications as even 1 missed week can have bad results down the line.

I had 3 grows spew PM one grow after another. I picked up an AirROS machine and it cured my problems.

The Arbor is great as a preventative. Sulfur in veg is the way to go. I just started spraying my outdoor with sulfur twice before flower weather it needs it or not. Too late for sulfur now, and you'll be fighting a long battle with just the arbor. Grab a gallon of 500ppm hypochlorous acid. Cut it 1:1 with distilled water. This will kill any mold/mildew or virus on contact. Safe to use up until harvest. I just spritzed mine yesterday to combat some septoria.

They also sell generators for $14 so you can make your own with table salt and distilled water. I use my dehumidifier water.

Yes it is. Just dilute it 1:1 with distilled water. Dehumidifier water works great. I sprayed my outdoor twice already, not 1 brown pistil

Zerotol HC, been using this product for years, can use up to the moment of harvest, no residue! Basically supercharged hydrogen peroxide, been a life saver for my outdoor. https://biosafesystems.com/product/zerotol-hc/

Hey is today ok to reapply arber? Rained Sunday two hours after applying then some showers on Monday. I can see a bunch of small spots now. Also instead of mixing a gallon with 2 ounces I do half gallon with 1 ounce because I end up throwing it out only needed for a couple.
