Is Powdery Mildew like Chicken Pox?

[Kp sunshine]

Thats a great set up, very cost effective and will produce quality buds. Foilar with a seeweed heavy with auxins, like technaflora and feed with a eckolonia kelp for boosted root growth from cytokinins

I like a cycle of feeding with Full strength feed, then half then water/tea then back to the cycle...

What are your specific concerns with PM?

I took plants in from outside this fall and got pm. I took cuttings from those plants before any infection but I'm concerned about it coming back on those or two new strains I have.
I was going to make the switch to organic this winter but I'm nervous to mess up with my plant health.
Shouldn't have taken anything inside

I have access to Acadian sea kelp and alfalfa. Do you use both salts and teas in your feed?

I do, its kinda contradictory as heavy salt feeds can kill any beneficial diversity in the media,i currently am growing in grodan...so its more about a weekly flush/not really a flush

Like any pest you fight it at as many vectors as possible...transmission, growth, reproduction, and environment

You have a good background in plant science.
You think if I did a sulfur burn here and there and kept plant health proper and conditions proper that pm would stay away?
Oh and would the seaweed extract be considered oil based and avoided when running the sulfur

If you are sulfur burning..7 days before and after no fiolar applications


Do a test, burn and see how full the room is/how long it takes, run a fan to move the sulfur... and of course in dark

Kgp can I run my burner after I foiler sprayed with seaweed extract? It says to avoid burning if plants were sprayed with anything oil based.

Thanks

If it was kelp and water, you should be fine. If you mixed it with oil of some sort, i would wait a little bit maybe must with plain water before the burn. Let it dry of course before.

Its really easy to beat with a burn. Id be more concerned about bugs.

I'm just using Neptunes Harvest seaweed extract and water so I should be good.
I'm going to do a couple burns just to be safe. No bugs thank god!!
Thanks for your help
