Powdery mildew
Tckfuistarted grow question 4y ago
Just noticed some powdery mildew on a few leaves and branches last night.
Pulled all areas with mildew and sprayed with Dr Zymes at lights off.
I have another tent next to it that I don't want infected.
Should I cull and sanitiz Or continue with Dr Zymes treatment? 8 weeks left

@Tckfui provide more air movement and extraction of the hot humid air is integral to keeping your grow tent
mold and mildew free
potassium bicarbonate can help eradicate it but can also burn leaves
it's really more pro active to provide better air movement to eliminate those hot spots in the tent that PM loves

Going by the pics, it appears you have less than 8 weeks left. But regardless -
Keep on that dr Zymes treatment as it recommends for fungicide use. Dr zymes worked decent for WPM for me but not pests. Anyhow, keep consistent with what it says (using every couple days I believe)
It should eliminate and keep mildew at bay. There’s always mildew spores in the air, you just want to stop it from having a suitable environment to thrive in..

Is this powdery mildew? How can we know for sure?Could these white spots be mildew? We could easily just basically shake them off, without any residue remaining. Currently only discovered in those two spots seen on the picture.
In pics I find from mildew, it usually starts more dusty.. I also made one picture under the micro.Week 9

Bagnare foglieCiao a tutti. Ieri ho spruzzato neem oil ed è rimasta qualche goccia nelle foglie lasciando della polverina bianca. Posso spruzzare sopra le foglie solo con dell'acqua con le luci accese(ciclo h24), per cercare di tirare via questi resti o brucerò le foglie bagnando? Grazie milleWeek 2

how many times should we spray with milky water in case of powdery mildew when we are in bloom? do you have to spray with this solution every day?Several people here advised me to dilute the milk spray with water, I did it, I diluted 400 ml of milk with 1200 ml of water, then I sprayed the plants in the tent, since they are grown in scrog, it is difficult to get everywhere.Leaves.

Powdery Mildew near end of floweringFor the last few days, powdery mildew is starting to form on the leaves and some of the buds. I've cut where mildew was, lowered humidity to around 45% and increased air circulation by focusing a fan on the plant but it is still forming. Anything else I should do?Week 10
