First time inside and Powder Mold!

Ok, I am vegging my outside crop in my garage.
Only a few leafs had it and I cut them off.

If I treat this all year how will I know if the buds are free of this disease?

Last year we had no PM on our outside crop and if I did I paid no attention to it.
I don't think its a big issue in my area.


Im half tempted to scrap any more plants that exhibit the PM and replace them.

Its not on every leaf or plant and even then its also very small amount!


Treated with 1 part SM 90 to 5 parts water. day one.

Also id like to add
FUCKETY FUCK!!

Add 1 cup of milk to 1 gallon of water and mist your plants with that.

When I spot small patches of PM, I hit them with h2o2 and it takes care of the problem. I've read that the milk and water spray works as well. Increase air flow in that garage and consider monitoring humidity levels.

How will I know if it goes into the nuggets? I mean last year we had no PM at all.
obviously you know where im at, near you.

I might have had it last year and just ignored it but this year Im a bit smarter.

Do I just keep spraying it all year, along with the neem and AZO we use,

I also spray with calmag, treat with lime and shells for PH so perhaps it wont be an issue?

(Remember this is an outside grow vegging in my garage)

I ordered a commercial dehumidifier for $500.....

Once they're outside, would wider spacing and thinning increase air circulation, or do they end up crowded at the end of flowering? Either way, if you live in a damp climate, try using Copper Amonium Complex with Neem Oil and SM-90. This is what works for me...good luck!! "MOLD SUCKS"!

There was an excellent post on avoiding bud rot and molds and mildews from a grower in Hawaii that i read on here some time ago... Also, for plants outdoors, in your garage currently, consider using a sulfur burner. Several of the larger growers here use them. They are also used in commercial greenhouses.

I treated last night with the oil spray,
There some little "Spots" of oil on some leafs,
Will taht burn with my lights (Lights are on the celing)
Not very hot and 4 feet away.

you should be fine , but in the future when using an oil like neem ,use warm water, it spreads better and won't beed up like that.

Good point, also add a few drops of dish soap, as a wetting agent. That should prevent build up.

I had a really really bad problem with this from starts i got from a buddy. I believe 1 part milk to ten parts water works the best. any milk will do but skim has less fat and will not stink so much. i did this and it worked great. i also built a sulfur burner and used that.

the sad thing is once your plant has it, it will have it forever. any clones taken off an infected plant will also have it.

remember what causes pm is in the aisr at all times. it is just waiting for the right conditions so that it can grow. low temps and high humidity in your grow area will just about guarantee it. i battle it every year outside here in oregon.
