Clones with possible pm

So I ordered clones From clone conservatory for the first time and received them today. For the most part they look good however one plant had a suspected spot of pm. I didn’t notice the spot until I had it out of the clone shipper and was planting it and immediately took it out of the grow room. I am waiting to hear about a replacement as I will not try to grow it out. I have battled pm in the past and it did not turn out well!

the rest of the clones look ok but now I am worried. Should I treat the rest of the clones and if so what do you recommend? I can’t get eagle20 shipped to my state. Is there anything else that will kill pm if it’s systemic but not showing right now? I don’t wait to ignore it and have it show a couple weeks into flower.

Im tired of the crappy genetics I have been getting from attitude seeds, it seems in every batch there are 2 or 3 strains that are just super weak and not at all worthy. I was hoping the clone thing would solve that problem but now I feel I took on more problems which may be worse. Argh

I have always really liked DefGuard. Is one of the very few products actually put through some testing and works well for PM.

Same strain as Hydroguard or better SouthernAG GFF. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens D747.

SouthernAG and Defguard seem to have the exact same concentration.

You can use sulphur for powdery mildew, dry @9 grams a gallon. Only precaution is to not use oil based IPM sprays for two weeks after treatment. Small plants can be dunked for efficiently covering all surfaces, leaves and stems. Good luck!

If one has it they all have it.
I use doctor zymes eliminator. It's natural, and it gets rid of pm fast. You DO NOT want to use eagle20 that shit is banned in most places, and it will end up in your final product.
I also agree with the other products mentioned here but some I can't get where I am
It's also important to mention, you might want to clean your area where you had the plants as well. Just a few spores can cause an outbreak when conditions are ideal.
This is why I have a '0 take' policy. I do not take clones from anyone, anywhere, anytime. Got burned before and never going through that again. Wasted an entire growing season for me and I just don't think it's worth it. I have enough seeds to keep me happy.

Powdery mildew is not systemic. If you don't notice it until later in the grow, either you weren't looking carefully enough, or it developed on its own due to environmental factors conducive to its growth.

I agree with the above post about not taking in clones from outside. I've never done it, but it sketches me out in general. And if one clone was infected, I'd definitely be suspicious of others in the same box or even from the same source.

Thanks everyone. I just received the southernag and will dunk each clone. I removed the clone in question immediately and waiting to hear back from the company. The clones were all different strains but package 3 or 4 clone in each clone shipper cup so I am afraid the spores spread even though I don’t see any mildew on the other clones.

Seeing the fruiting body of fungi is the last and final stage of its life cycle. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. It's just waiting for the right time/conditions to grow and fruit. Good luck with your endeavor, I think you might need it. Hopefully not but this might just be the lesson many of us have already learned the hard way, it's just your turn now.
