Pass on to any clones clipped off of said plant?
I had a pm issue last 2 indoor runs (2 strains but only one had pm). My humidity issue is being too low! Great air movement also. Now I have 2 giant bushes outside that also have pm!(clones)
I just wacked em... done with this unknown strain.

So is it normal for this to happen?
thanks! Dux
 
Sounds like the Space Queen I picked up in Berkley, didn't matter what I used, Neem, Eagle, it just kept coming back.

I no longer have the SQ, but I'm now the owner of a new Sulfur burner!
 
I did a double bleach clean of my closet before I put 3 new into flower (blue cheese, super silver haze, Hawaiian skunk haze).
so paranoid, everyday I'm looking for it ...

Yes, if you took the clones from a plant that had PM, they have PM. Unless you treat it, it won't go away and be passed on. I'm not sure there really is any way of getting rid of it once a plant has it. Best thing is to cull, throw them outdoor if you can, clean well, make sure you have a lot of air flow and humidity below 50, then start fresh. Otherwise you'll be fighting it on-going. Some areas are bad for it, including outdoors, I'm pretty sure that's where I got it, bringing in outside air. I got some on one strain last round, culled, throw some outdoor, cleaned well and I'm watching for it. I'm spraying my plants once/week with a solution of 1/4 tspn olive oil, 1/4 tspn baking soda and 1/4 tspn dish soap to see if I can prevent it from coming back. Plants don't seem to mind it and it seems to be keeping it away. I culled that strain that got it last round other than a couple I have outdoor. imo some strains like that Platinum Bubba Kush I ran are susceptible to it, won't be growing that indoor again. I had some Jack The Ripper in there that didn't really get it and once I sprayed they were clean/fine.
 
Ding ding !!

GrowEr, now that I think about it, it all started after I brought a plant indoors. Long flowering plant in mn, doesn't work when Nov temps are in the teens ..
 
Yeah that would make sense, we had a bad winter here and I was pulling air in from outside, pretty sure that's how it got in. Won't be bringing in any more outside air going forward, new room has incoming air from the filtered HVAC in the house. That should keep it away.
 
If you have one, you can finish your plants in your garage. That's what I'll be doing with a couple of plants I have at the cottage right now. Don't want to chance the last couple of weeks, I'm not up there all the time and they could get ripped off. So I'll be bringing them home for the last couple of weeks and finishing them in there with a temporary setup.
 
I've seen/heard of the horsetail tea option and may try it as a maintenance treatment (best option is avoiding it in the first place). I like the idea vs. any chemical option, particularly if you're in flowering, I prsonally wouldn't use that Eagle-20, sounds nasty.
