I have the problem of Powdery Mildew in my medical grow tent. Overall, its not too bad, and I have other plans of getting rid of it.
First of all, trim off all PM-looking parts.
Then I plan on doing a heat treatment, by raising temps to over 100 degrees for an hour, in an attempt to kill off the fungus.
Then a hydrogen peroxide spray.
And to end it all, a milk spray.
I have a LARGE HEPA filter running inside the tent, along with a different environment than where the PM manifested, so air flow can be increased substantially, along with light intensity.
The PM doesn't seem to be to ridiculously bad, the plants are healthy otherwise, but should I go ahead and buy some Eagle 20 and treat with that a week before I trigger 12/12? Or is that going to far?
I have a grow tent, so I thought that getting sulphur burner would be a little difficult. I just really don't want to have to battle this issue for the next 10-12 weeks, I'd rather just get rid of it once and not worry about it after that. My environment is good otherwise, I just made some mistakes in not trimming enough foliage on my last grow, leading to a lack of circulation on some leaves, allowing the PM to manifest.
What do you guys think? Should my cheap solutions already stated be enough? Or should I go all out, and "nuke" this powdery mildew with some Eagle 20 while I'm still in VEG and at the point of no return?
I have asthma, so I'm afraid of working with this Eagle 20 stuff, thinking I might die when spraying that shit!
