trenton, hopefully some of the more experienced growers will back me up on this but I can speak from experience and say the following: I had a similar experience in my tiny 6 plant grow with the humidity going way too high and powdery mildew forming very quickly. I read some posts on here and prepared a hydrogen peroxide/water mix by mixing about 2 tablespoons 3% H2O2 with a gallon of water and I sprayed it all over the leaves and roots. My intent was to use that as a quick fix and then head to the hydro store the next day for some stronger stuff. However the spray did the trick in less than 24 hours and I never needed to buy anything else. I wasn't in flower but I think H2O2 has gotta be relatively safe during flower in low doses - safer than a pesticide or mold spray anyway. Like I said, I hope some of the big guns on here back me up.
Keep up the good work on the grow and good luck!

i've been saying this for 2 months and no one will listen. HYDROGEN PEROXIDE. i killed mildew on buds the day before harvest. it works immediately. it even kills bugs. but what do i know?

i havent had mold myself other than bud rot, however i do know that sulfer kills by changing the leaf ph so the mold cant survive. that is a devistating set back, what is the result of ignoring this, Bud rot? how many more weeks are the plants needing still ? ????

I would try this if you have not already fixed the problem. Also the drain for the dehumidfiers is a good idea!i've been saying this for 2 months and no one will listen. HYDROGEN PEROXIDE. i killed mildew on buds the day before harvest. it works immediately. it even kills bugs. but what do i know?

i think in future grows of this scale, you will want to invest in some automation, I have read of grows that are run with a growtronix system, which monitors pretty much all your variables, and can react to situations (like high humidity, or de-humidifiers with full tanks) by automating pumping, ventilation, and even alerting you on your cell phone when things arent within parameters.
seems like with that many plants it is a real hassle to keep conditions optimal, without someone or something monitoring it all the time.
growtronix.com will have all the info you need.

I listened, Fdd! I should have said in my previous post that I read about using H2O2 from one of your posts. Now I just sound like I am sucking up.i've been saying this for 2 months and no one will listen.

Give it a try Trenton, the big gun has spoken!

Thanks for all the advice guys. I owe you all a ton of pics and they will come soon. I am busy putting 5 foot bamboo sticks into the pots and tyeing all the colas up towards it so they wont droop. They wont damage the roots will they? Also does anyone have a link to the bio soy product.

His original goal was 6lbs, but that was with only 4 lights, he will probably yield more than that since he is now running 6 lights, as long as he keeps the pest and mold away for the next 4-5 weeks.
several growers here at riu have reported outputs from 2-5oz per plant of course the 2-3oz range is the most common.
6 lbs would only be 1.8oz per plant on the 60 ladies, its a nice conservative estimate imo.

i dont have this crap, i think most of these systems are a waste of money.
please dont list hardware i dont have or use. thanks.....
i have the best when it comes to cameras and security, when it comes to automation, there is no substitute for the human element

I ran the sulfur burner today for another 3.5 hours. I have noticed that the majority of the mold is on the plants in the corner closest to the intake fan which draws cold air in from the outside. I have a hepa filter on the intake however it appears that it could use a new one. The weather here is currently crappy and rainy so I am sure the humidity is way high outside. The light are off in the room now. Current temp is at 68/F and humidity is at 47% with 2 50 pint dehumidifiers running at full speed. Do you think that turning the intake fan off suring dark hours is a good idea and will keep the room less humid??? I have a 12 exhaust fan and 4 oscallating fans in the room. Thanks.
