Mostly leaves -- and buds have sugar leaves, so... :roll:
PM can't spread if you kill it with potassium bicarb. :twisted:
Pretty sure it's really the higher ph that kills mold because I've heard diluted skim milk also works. I tried it once outdoors but didn't dilute it enough and it left a residue on the leaves that was harmless but still unattractive.
If it really is ph that kills PM, you could use liquid silica as a foliar. But definitely follow directions because too much potassium can have adverse effects. And never mix things like neem & liquid silica.

Some growers say it's better to just pull the plant because PM always comes back. They say it's "systemic".
It a way they are right, but it's a play on words. PM will come back because there's a problem in the "system", not because the plant is permanently infected.
Fix the system (environment) and you won't see it again. (It's a different ballgame outdoors 8))
Weaker plants are more vulnerable.
Some growers fade the shit out of their plants at the end in an effort to minimize nitrogen in the finished product, but what it really does is weaken them and make plants work harder to move N from lower growth to the buds. (Nitrogen is mobile.)

When I grew in a tent I used a giant cut-off kiddie pool as a tray (about 4" deep) and put little fans on the floor in all four corners that stayed on 24/7.
Each fan was pointed at the next fan so the airflow was circular. This helps a lot.
I think most growers focus on the canopy but keeping good flow around the base is also important.

Been a rough week in the garden. Discovered white powder mildew on 2 Cosmonaut's 5 weeks into flower. So I threw those in the garbage, hoping that was the end of it. But then 2 days later I noticed wpm spots appearing on a Chelumbian plant and also on Cannaventure's Pure Animal. To save the crop, I decided to neem everything. So I did. I've got plants from week 1 to week 6 in flower. They took the neem better than expected. 1/4 turned white hairs fried red, about 1/2 show minimal burning, and the other 1/4 looks unfazed. Fingers crossed that this round of neem will keep the plants healthy until harvest

This is the first time I have ever had WPM in the tent, although I have had it outside in the yard most years. Strange thing is, I have only noticed one leaf on one Armenian Cucumber with the WPM this season, so I'm puzzled why it would be showing up inside with a more controlled environment.

I live in LA and do not own a dehuey. Didn't think I needed one here. And the humidity never got above the mid 60's in the tent and temps stayed above 60 so I'm a bit puzzled.

It can be puzzling but I think its just that time of yr again where temps and humidity start to cause little issues here and there.
Some insects are vectors for PM. IME, it attacks the weaker older plants first. Weak plants are like a beacon for mites and pathogens. The best way I've found to prevent PM is to keep the plants as healthy as possible and of course your environment.

Most of the GP crosses I've grown have been extremely vigorous. From seed they have that F1 hybrid vigor that S1s (and older plants/mothers often lack. This could be why they're unaffected.
You did the right thing getting those infected plants out of your garden. If you'd only spotted one or two affected leaves you could've just removed the leaves and quarantined the plants but anymore than that and I'd chuck em in the fire pit. I wouldn't even compost em. Its not worth the headache. It spreads fast and can lay dormant so even if your room is dialed in its only a matter of time before it rears it head again.
Green Cleaner has proven very effective for me in the past. (same shit chunky rec'd) and I'd choose the that over neem. Might be a good idea to treat all your plants now just as a preventive.

PM sucks donkey balls!

Yeah I dont ph for cuttings any more.i found it didnt make a difference for me.once the roots are out they right into the ph water solution and start growing right away.cuttings are taking all there moisture from the environment in the humidty dome.i use to ph the aero cloner but found just straight tap water and hydroguard works.pool shock worked better.i think the beneficial bacteria might inhibit the root growth but not sure.

I've never once ph'ed my clone machine in the 8 years that I've had it and I'm a ph maniac. My clones always root 100%. Just water and clone solution. I even used the same black rubber rounds for 8 years. Don't ask me how I kept track of them all cause I have no idea. I just finally replaced them all.

My latest pics are at day 42 from flip and they are in my journal. At this point I , just like the guy selling them, think they are dog shit due to the known hermi issue. I would not recommend it to anyone based solely on that.
This is a group shot at day 42 from flip. The lone NR is center back.
