I'm super mad. I've been fighting this powder mildew practicly the whole grow using neem and bakeing soda water sprays and cutting out to vent better. Nothing got rid of it. Now I've practicly harvested all my crop and it just keeps on Ive lost several plants and can't aford to loose anymore. So I sprayed them good with neem and plan on attempting to dry and cure before it comes back will this cause my buds to taste like neem or am I ok since it says on the front of the bottle spray up to harvest. I don't know if that includes pot as well?

I used it quite a bit on a grow I had a problem with those little white flyes. I didn't tase a thing but if i remember right, I backed off the spraying just before I harvested. Good luck.

you should avoid useing neem a month before harvest... growers report awful tast when sprayed two weeks before harvest

Fucking hate pm. Looks like it wins this one time:-( never again I'm cutting a whole in the other side of the room to outside. Fresh air should then get pulled in through the plants since I have a in line fan pulling out air through the hood. Then I'm not veging longer than two weeks so not to croud anymore. More plants half the size with constant fresh air should get rid of this pm shit. Never again. So mad

if you sprayed them two weeks before they come down you will be alright. as for the mildew add another fan or two oscolating. or increase your outtake. do you have a fan for in/out take

Yes I have a 8 inch inline fan hooked one side to the hood the other to the wall so it goes outside. So it's pulling air out I think what I need is air coming in , fresh air don't you think?

hi! i'm quite new to this forum. i was reading your post as i am thinking of applying some neem oil to my 5-6 week crop. i had problems getting my temp down to start with on my 1st and it wasnt untill i sourced air from outside that things started getting better! (i think a combo of the temp and fresh air). 2nd one going good apart from a few small white spots on the leaves which i wanna attack with neem oil! good luck!

I found that the neem worked great and today my first batch dryed and I put them in jars for the final cure I smoked alitle that was left on the table and yummy it's good !!! I sprayed with neem days before I cut them down. I was in fear it was going to tast bad even ruin the high. And nope everythings good aside of loosing a couple plants Next time I'll have fresh outside air pumping through and I won't let them get crouded.

yeah space is good i got 4 in 1m x 1m. looks like i've learned a lesson this evening, to check the undersides of the leaves. theres tiny microscopic mites i think, thats whats causing the spots sucking the juices out of the leaves. ordered the neem oil off ebay 100% organic quite cheep. its supposed to work for them, it works for quite a few things by the look of it. glad 2 hear it dont taint the smell or taste coz i'm gonna give it a go.

yea the fan you got is only for the light? am i right?
you should put that other 8inch sucking air from the top of your room to reduce huminity.. and when your spraying neem do it early in the day and raise your light from 12-16 inches to 36 inchs.. for about 6 hours then put them back to normal....
as for fresh air you should have either an intake fan or a passive intake hole.... the outtake sucks the stale humid air out of the room and it draws fresh air in threw that intake hole.... you have circulation fans right?
