Having trouble with mildew

Hey everyone, haven't been on in a while but nended some advise with my crops. I noticed that my plants have accumulated some white powdery mildew throughout all the plants. It's not severe but in small spots throughout the plants. The plants are a couple days away from being on their third week of flower.

I planned on getting some nutrilife SM-90 and spraying them with that in the evening. Has anyone used this product with success? If so, do you have any pointers that would help me execute this mildew/mold problem more efficiently?

I've heard that you need to remove theexisting mildew from leaves, and I starteddoing that by wiping the affected foliage with a damp paper towel. The only problem with that is that it would take me forever to wipe down each and every leaf considering I have 7 pretty good size plants. What is a quicker efficient way of removing or washing off existing mildew? Again theplants are about to be on their third week of flower.

Please any body's input on their experience with using SM-90 for mildew or anyone's advise on removing/washing existingmildew would be greatly appreciated

Greencure, serenade & activonate (activonate & greencure are probably best for p.m.) make sure it's p.m. & not just nutrient residue. Good luck!

"The Amazing Doctor Zymes" dissolves mildew and leaves no residue or poisons it kills the mildew but not you.

I'll go ahead and go with the neem oil. I just wasn't sure if it would be recommended to be used on them at this stage of flowering. I've used neem oil a few years back and remembered it left the buds smelling a bit like the oil. I should have took better measures to prevent the PM,but now I know for next time.
When I wake up in the mornings there is water collected on the leaves do to morning dew and I think that is the main reason they contracted the PM.

I use diluted milk/water, cold pressed neem oil, lemon/water mixture. You just need to change the PH of the leaf surface. No need to introduce a bunch of shit

So a lemon/water mixture would be just as effective as neem oil to get rid of and preventing it from returning?

I have PM all over my area, this summer has been better because it's been totally dry, little rain and high temps. Last year I had to spray them every 10 days or so to keep it off. Any of these sprays that change the ph do work, baking soda, couple of drops of vegetable oil and couple of drops of soap works well and is cheap. You have to keep spraying though or it'll come back. Pain in the ass though with a few big plants. Spray in the evening so they dry before the sun gets hot, it can burn the hairs in flowering.

Based on your area code you live near Progressive Options, if they are still in business. Everything they sell has mildew or mold,the only time i had problems was with their product.

Pm has been a lil worse than last year for me but bud worms have been practically non existent which is great.

I haven't heard of them in years but I still believe they're open. I got clones from them a few years ago and wasn't satisfied with them. I started all of my plants from seed this year. 5 skywalker OG and 2 OG kush.

I'd have to agree with you on that. Last year I barley had a little pm in a couple of small spots but this year it's worse. Also last year there was a bunch of caterpillars and this year I haven't spotted one, yet (knock on wood)
