if your going to use neem...... spray your plants with emulsified need oil {neem oil, warm water, and a lil dish soap}.......... DONT put fresh sprayed plants under the light... i would let them dry overnight.... keep your fans going to... dont overdue the neem or it will cause burns and or suffacate your plants.... i personally wouldnt use the neem it put a hurting on my outdoor this year

Well, 4 weeks into flower isn't that bad, I'd spray 'em down with neem...Neem is natural, just tree oil, and I'd rather have a little neem on my buds than a bunch of PM. Some people will tell you to spray a water/milk solution on the buds, that basically changes the pH to a level that PM cant tolerate...There is also this stuff...

It's a microbe that attacks PM among other diseases...OMRI listed...Haven't used it, but I've seen it popping up here and there.

I'm gonna get my hands on some Eagle20, and start treating the plants when I switch them over into flower from veg...thats supposed to be the best preventative, even though it's heavy duty chemicals.

fucked up part is i threw a few outside and they are fine, its the indoor, my temps are good humidity is in the range, got fresh air from under the house coming in, the 430 cfm fan for the lights is always on to push air out, shit sucks

the neem oil i got is 70%, u just mix 2 tablespoons per gallon and it doesnt have a foul smell like the other 2 do, but it came back on most all of them and i sprayed 3 different kinds on differnt plants so its not that they dont work its something with my air circulation i thiunk

Neem doesn't eliminate PM, it just subdues it...If you really really hate PM, look into Eagle20...You can't use this stuff during flower, but if you treat your plants when you switch from veg to flower, you probably wont ever see any PM on your flowering plants...It's like the "Avid" of PM, toxic shit, but does the trick.

whats your humidity? you say its good but whats it at? and are you foliar feeding? is the mildew localized? it might be that light isnt reaching (and drying) the plants at that spot where the mildew occurs.

First way to stop mildew, is to lower humidity, or up the temp. push the temp up to 80-85 and youll kill most mildew/fungus and lowering the humidity (under 20%) will do the same. they say 50% humidity is perfect, but i like to go lower for flowering, just to not risk mildew.

Moldy buds aint cool

humdity is around 47-55 at the high end when i water, im trying to find a cheap de humidifier, temps usually stay between 75-80, but this last week temps have dropped so im around70-78 so im gonna get a heater in there to help keep temps up, problem is the fresh air coming in is cold so i need to get temps up and if i stop pulling in fresh air , the damn mildew and humidity will climb.. mildew is in different spots, i think its air circulation and humidity is up because weathers dropping
