I've read that a 40% milk to 60% distilled water mix sprayed on the leaves works very well against PM and you can use it to harvest. I had a couple leaves with small spots so I just trimmed them off. No sign of it anymore

I’ve gave them the milk treatment and a fungicide treatment my mildew isn’t prolific it’s like you say spots on leaves tends to be smaller leafs for me I’ve chopped a good bit of plant away that was kinda fucked because I have 2 other plants just as big and there all touching but they don’t show any sign. As of yet I’ve treated them obviously whe. I noticed this bit anyone or anything that fuks with my weed is certainly my enemy lol

Nice looking grow, friend. Good job with the available space.
Cheers mate I enjoy the whole plant training stuff I have a small back years with windows of naibours on all sides looking but I’ve had no issues now for a couple of years the worst part is they don’t even pre flower until late august and flower basically in the autum it’s not ideal for the dreaded mildew and bud rot

You can control, treat, hope, but in the end is it worth it smoking or vaping weed that will always have an aura of doubt?

My area is getting more and more humid with each passing year. I threw away all my plants last year. No sign of PM this fall but I still got 3 to 4 weeks to go. I’m going back to indoors.

I've been fighting PM all flowering season. I've been using potassium bicarbonate to mitigate but will end up giving them a bath once I cut them. Probably a week away from being bale to harvest.

Anyone else using potassium bicarbonate?

I've been using PB this year. No issues so far. This time last year I already had to cut some buds off, but I think most of that rot was from worm damage.

What area are you in?

Hudson valley NY.

This year has been killer for PM. I literally just sprayed my largest plant down with SB. I'm going to see how it is in the morning and if there's no change. I'll be chopping her down early . Better early than loss is my belief.

I’ve been battling wpm just the past week or so. Had days of rain and threw plants under tarps, good breathing space but 3 days. So I’ve use a 1/6 ratio of apple cider vinegar and water to spray my gals, and so far it has been very successful. Last year I lost a ton of my grow outside too the dreaded wpm. The worse was my American Pie plant that just rotted inside out. I lost 400-500g at least, and they were looking so good until the final 3 weeks of flowering.

No mate my flowers are even too small for PM this year lolView attachment 5207542View attachment 5207543
Do the plants a giant favor.....buy small container of " Banish Fungicide " ,
It's made from geranium oil.....can use during veg ( that's when I've had problems)
Or during flowering.......great f'ing shit !.....has never failed me........only one or two
treatments killed it....best to catch that scourge f'ing early . I can't see real clearly, but I would say it looks like PM. I'm very suspect of any fungicides or insecticides.
Always leary of composition being safe. I'll spend an enormous amount of time researching compounds used , products of combustion , MSDS sheets and talking on phone to company scientist . Buy some Banish......a little bottle lasts forever.
I love that shit !
