Got powdery mildew? use 1 part SKIM (fat free and it wont stink) milk to 10 parts water, spray every part of the plant. you will be amazed! its a biological control of mildew, milk has natural fungicide properties.

also contains other great stuff for your plants, calcium ect. they will love you for it. try to find a non chemical solution to mildew before using harsh chemicals.

I am mixing SKim milk into my watering program now because the effects were so amazing....Super shiny, healthy leaves. I've never seen plants so healthy!

its been 5 days and the powdery mildew has not come back.

use 1part hydrogen peroxide to 3 parts water to sterilize your growspace, spray down the area and everything in the area to get rid of the remnants that will start a new outbreak.

Din'e medicine, I like your avatar. That's such a bad ass pic. My buddy in cali has that on a shirt, but I can't find it up here where I live.

Does this work if you are in late flower already? Say 1 month from harvest... I am just waiting for the white hairs to turn orange and then bulk up a bit before chopping it down. Just checked my room and everything is covered in white. I had an outbreak early on but thought I had cured it using neem oil...

Will the milk/water destroy my nugs or is it okay? Thanks for this information by the way...

Milk only works if it's unpasteurized. The skim from the store is pasteurized... meaning all the bacteria has been killed. You're just spraying your plants with whitish water.

i just noticed a little bit of mildew today. i dabbed(q-tip) the top of the soil with 1 to 4 of h2o2. im growing in an ebb and flow system that i had just cleaned and changed the water a few days ago. should i leave my pump off and let the top of the soil dry, before using unpasteurized milk? or is it not a good idea since i just used h2o2? also, i having a bit of a problem with humidity my grow rooms at 84*temp 62%(i know temps a bit high, but im working with a confined space).intake & exhast go to bedroom which is at 77*temp 76%. im thinking of using dehumidifying salt. will this do or would i need a dehumidifier? my room is 5Hx4Wx2D. any help would be appreciated.

are you using pasteurized or unpasteurized milk?
