Ok shit I'm fighting a white mold on my budding plants. I am 4 weeks into flower and I can't seem to get rid of it. I have sprayed my plants down twice with baking soda/water solution and it seemed to help but the mold is still present and on some of the buds.
Is there anything I can do at this point to save them?

I'll try and post some pictures...

Thanks,

J

I have not tried Neem oil. I tried it on my first grow for spider mites but I hadn't heard to use it for PM....

you should invest in a dehumidifier. and spraying your buds with anything during flowering will hinder good taste and smoke. you should avoid spray your buds in high humidity situations as it creates an environement for mold and powdery mildew.

heres some tips:


  1. Plant in full sunlight in a well-drained area.
  2. Do not crowd plants. Air flow and ventilation will discourage mildew growth.
  3. Powdery mildew thrives where high rates of nitrogen have been used. High nitrogen promotes tender leaf formation, causing dense stands that are more susceptible to infections. Adequately fertilize but avoid stimulating succulent growth. Organic fertilizers or slow-release formulations of lawn fertilizers are good choices.
  4. Prune infected plants to get rid of infected parts and increase airflow. If the infestations are severe, remove and destroy the plants that are infected.
  5. Disinfect your pruning tool in a bleach solution of one part household bleach to four parts water after each cut.
  6. Watering plants in the morning gives the plants the rest of the day to dry off, discouraging establishment of diseases, including powdery mildew.

Just YouTube "jorge cerventes washing away powdery mildew". I haven't tried it personally but it looks like it may save a small farmer his crop.

No prob man,.and please do not spray your buds that you plan to consume with chemical's. There is natural ways to keep pm away. Make sure you have good ventilation, make sure you have good circulation (ventilation/circulation are different as most don't know this), most important keep your temp good and steady. Now clean the hell out of that room with a bleach/water solution.

why would you not want to CURE your plants of p.m? Eagle 20 cures systemically.
I would rather cure my plants then smoke fungus spores. Like I said, as long as your 3 weeks before harvest, It's safe,
and you will never see P.m again. I have given a little of this stuff out to many customers, they don't have pm problems anymore.
