Hi all,


I had a mild mildew spreading on the lower parts of my 10week flowering plants. I got some pottasium bicarbonate and mixed that into water (2-3tbsp to one pint of water) added a few drops of liquid soap, and one small measure of milk as was suggested online. Not only it hasn't helped but it looks like it spread now.. how is this possible? i live in the uk so there isnt high humidity in the room either. temps are between 26-29celius.

my main question really is that if the mildew spread on some buds just mildly. can i crop them, dry them and cure them and smoke them? will the mildew spread even more during the drying and curing process or will it stop where it is?

any more cures for it im all ears but the only solution i see right now is to chew up my losses, throw them all away and clean the fck out of the grow room with bleach to make sure its all dead.

I would remove the moldy stuff and dry it in very low humidity to provent spread, as for the moldy stuff make hash out of it.
To further stop future pm issue look into a sulpher burner

anyone in this forum have real experience with powdery mildew?!?!?

i'm not looking for people who can type it into google and then tell me what they read... i want to know if someone who had it spread around his plants mildly to mid level. did you dry your bud? does the mildew spread while its dried if say it was in a jar or does it simply die with the plant when its dried up?

No it will not spread once dryed! But it will during the drying process! That why you will have to dry with low! Hum
And keep temps in the upper 60s you can use all kinds of pm wash products but ive found un pasterized milk works
Best. The win all is a sulpher burner

Can anyone else chime in on this remedies?
It would be ideal to find something non toxic or chemical that really works!

i can tell you for a fact that the milk option and potassium bicarbonate are useless!!!

they might work for very mild infestations but as soon as it spreads you got no chance my friend. i've sprayed one week apart covering the plants and buds completely. week later problem worstened. so i started spraying every 2 days, now the bud hairs look black as fck and the leaves are burned because of overspraying but the mold is still there and living it up more and more every day. i'm also in a very low humidity environment so this shit beats me really. cant figure it out.

nice one mate for those links. i don't think i was rude in any way, all i said was that milk and potassium bicarbonate dont work. there's far too many people on this forum that give out false information and pretend to be experienced growers when infact they are a bunch of teenagers hiding plants from their parents.. so thanks for that proper infromation ill give that a go..

thanks porridge thats very sound advice... now i get why spraying the shit out of them only made things worst!!! :( 6 years of growin in the same space and this is the first time its happened, i have no idea how but these spores are obviously spreading like mad. i've got one week left on my grow so i guess like you said the best i can do is just chop off any infected bud and quick dry the rest...

in order to clean the room for future grows would you use bleach or do you reckon theres something better?
