Well since Iv learned so much from our fellow 600 members I thought I might attempt to dish out some tried and true info that might help others
I'll call it Whodats useful post of the day... lol I'll def try to put something useful and interesting up everyday... ok?
So todays useful post is a home remedy spray for fighting mold, mildew, and bugs. This is not my recipe but Iv been using it for a few months now and haven't seen a single might since I started
This is mainly a preventative but a damn good one and cheap to boot!
---------------The following is a copy from where I got the recipe--------------------
------The pics are mine though. I mixed up a 1/2 gallon batch--------
Used in both indoors and outdoors, it works on any plant. Its safe to spray on your buds, flowers, fruit, what ever...
Also if it gets in your organic soil, no big deal, unlike some other over the counter chemical sprays, it wont harm your soil...
Also this spray works best as a preventative, I use it on the plants all the time before there is a problem to help prevent any problems before they start...
I use it on the vegging plants all the time and the flowering plants all the way up to week four. The reason I stop at week four of budding is to keep moister from building up inside the bud...
Ok lets get this going...
For this thread im going to be mixing up a 1 gallon batch. So if you want to make more, just up the ingredients. Or if you want to make less cut the amounts back a little...
This is what I use. Apple cider vinegar, cloves, cinnamon sticks, 100% Lemon juice, reverse osmosis water, and biodegradable dish soap...
I start off with some whole cloves...
I crush them best I can with my thumb, then into the container they go...
I bust off about half a cinnamon stick, in that gose...
Two table spoons of 100% lemon juice..
1 big teaspoon of apple cider vinegar...
Then mix it well for about 2 to 5 minutes. Then let it stand and every time you walk by it or every little while stir it up. Let it sit like this for 24 hours before use.
That way the cloves and cinnamon stick will soften up a little then they break up easier.
(^^^ this pic not mine^^^)
Then after its been sitting for at least 24 hours, add a teaspoon of biodegradable dish soap...
(not mine^^^)
Stir it in real well...
(^^^not mine^^^)
Is that Dice's spray or a pitcher of beer?
(^^^not mine^^^)
Top that off with some reverse osmosis water, or whatever your using for clean water, and stir...
Chose a sprayer, anything should work..
(^^^not mine^^^)
I used both.
The big sprayer is good for misting over all the plants.
The little one allows me to get right into the problem area and give it a nice mist...
I spray the plants hours before the lights go off, or a few hours before dark.
Now this spray wont fix a bad bud. Nor will it fix a leaf after bugs chewed it up. But what it will do is help prevent these issues...
No spray any where on earth will make a bad bud into a good bud again.
I recommend if you notice a little mold/ bud rot, or powdery mildew, that you cut the infected areas out.
Thanks for reading, I hope this helps you as much as its helped me over the years...

Now I would like to add that I also throw in an handful of orang peels to the main mix because Im not using a citrus soap
And this is mine getting ready to use tomorrow
:NOTE: I have not added the bio degradable dish soap yet... I will before I use it tomorrow. Also, its a good idea to strain out the solids because it will clog up your sprayer, I use pantihose.
Please ask away and I'll do my best to answer any questions but if you want to bypass me heres the link
