Powdery Mildew Issue

So I have had PM for awhile now. I have been battling it but I believe Im fighting a losing battle. I have a 100% success rate with my clones and after two full sets dieing, I have had enough. I'm shutting down and cleaning and then restarting.

My question is: What is the best way to make sure it doesn't come back and what type of fogger to use. I know a lot of different ways but Im looking to bleach treat, paint and a fogger.

I know all about Greencure, milk and stuff like that to help treat but I want to eradicate since I will not have any plants growing so chemicals are what Im looking for. I want to penetrate every nook and cranny so I know it will not come back and start using a preventative to ensure that as well.

Any opinions and personal results would be great.

Note: I can not use sulfur as the place I grow, they will not allow it since the stink it gives off. Same goes for ozone.

Thanks ahead of time guys!:leaf:

Bleaching it down well should be sufficient and get some good airflow with fans next time and good air exchange and you should be fine. Good Luck.

Bleach down everything and then h2o2 everything. Once u start growing again air flow is key. You can also use a HEPA filter on your intake to keep the air clean entering your grow area. Good luck man

neem oil, baking soda, and bleach is all i've ever needed to be PM free. Make a bunch of 7.5 pH water with the baking soda and wash everything including your plants spray them down really good with pH water. Then spray your plants down again with neem oil usually about 2 tablespoons per gallon and about 1/2 teaspoon of soap as a surfactant. Then bleach everything else floors, lights, walls, pots, tools, measuring stuff, ect...

Make sure to also clean your pre-filter on your carbon filter. I also light mist down my carbon filter with weak hydrogen solution.

Thanks for the responses guys, anyone use any anti fungal foggers? Ill have zero plants and no one in the house so would like to bomb it and kill anything there. I have 7 fans in and around my room, it def isnt an airflow issue. Humidity is always less than 60 which is a bit high I know. I had PM on an outside plant and my stupid ass brought it inside to cut. Couple weeks later, BAM! PM. Thought spider mites were my biggest fear until PM lol.

google Horse hair tea (An herbal tea). Buy some (I have the one in the gold foil package), make as directed - cool down - spray on plants- say goodbye to PM - use as needed.
You can use it in flower right up to harvest. Organic! Plants LIKE it!
Now, bleach EVERYTHING in the grow room! SANITIZE, SANITIZE, SANITIZE !

I haven't had PM for YEARS!

I have heard of this tea, just like many other things that I tried and didnt get to work. Thats why I was thinking fogger to make sure it works. ( not saying horse tail tea doesnt) If others have similar sucess with this tea or foggers or any other products besides milk, ozone, greencure etc, please share. Still searching for a solution since my grow room will be empty for the first time in foreverrrr. Thanks!!!
