Serenade

Hey all... I'm wondering about the usage of Serenade, specifically in outdoor growing. When do I start applying, and when do I stop? The guy at the local grow shop (whom we've named "Yoda") said, simply, "cottonballs". In other words, when the buds look like cottonballs (we don't quite talk about our little friends openly). How has everyone else used this? Or, I suppose as far as the timing goes, any other fungicide? Thanks in advance all!

You want to apply in the morning, so that it is dried up prior to sunset.

You also want to apply before or at the first sign of anything showing up.

But, should I continue using it throughout flowering, or only prior to flowering? The reason I ask is one book I have read says that fungicides should be applied before buds form in order to have any chance of working, since the density of the buds pretty much blocks the fungicide from the spores in the buds themselves. Thanks again.

Another question about Serenade (and, if anyone could answer my original question that would be swell... thx!)... should I apply it at the "ornamental" rate of 1 to 2 oz per gallon, or the "vegetable" rate of 4 oz per gallon?
