How to handle the white powdery mildew ?

At this stage just airflow and luck. Sorry. Keep them separated if in pots. Away from walls and fences or other plants. They all block wind and hold if not produce moisture.

The bud rot I take the whole branch if under a foot. Or at least 6" below it if larger. Better safe. Contrary to opinion I like to rinse my plants down before I handle or trim with pm or rot. Spores don't float when wet. Do this in the morning on a sunny day with a breeze. Rinse the plant again afterwards. Shake to remove excess water. Wash your hands and tools with 70% alcohol. Discard clothing worn. Launder immediately. You are carrying spores. Tie trimmings in a plastic bag and dispose of in outside trash headed for landfill.

I almost had my butt handed to me this year. Milk would be only suggestion. 25% solution worked fairly well. Just rinse off after 24 hours. Dried to a nasty white stain on the leaves. Looks worse than the PM. Whole milk appears to work better. And fresh from the cow after skimming the cream off worked better. Still country creed at heart. LOL.
Shit I found more bud rot on another plant fuck this rain storm fucked me also how far away an I from harvest here's a pic

Hey there!
I live in BC, Canada and ordered Neem oil from Amazon.ca It arrived in less than 5 days..
Just an FYI. I swore by neem for a decade. Changing my opinion on its safety very fast with developments in its study. I personally would avoid it in flower. Just saying research your products. Times change and science is looking really close at our industry "hobby" for the next billion dollar gimmic. We are getting better research and being forced to re think our views. Peace, organics and health always.

That's the closest I can get it looks done to me but it's my first grow and getting bud rot heard should harvest earlier
You are close energetic milk. A couple weeks from couch lock from what I can see.

I never had a problem with bud rot when I take the branch. Gypsy moth larvae are small and don't get far very fast here. Just be on the look out. I have more in store here. Killed a moth in the greenhouse this morning. Be vigilant inspecting and you should make it a while longer.

I have had great success with Organic Apple cider vinegar, 2 tespooons per qt, in spray bottle fine mist, and mist the hell out of it.

The science behind it that you are changing the acidic level, thereby eradicating the.spores. Use this method and you'll be convinced, it works amazingly. And quickly.
You may also want to wash your buds with an h2o2 wash, I'm sure you'll here all this. I post it all the time.
Peace.

Afternoon. Anything non toxic is worth considering. Cider vinegar worked fairly well. I just had that jungle thing going on this year.

You never want to spray anything on the plant in the sun
That is for spring and summer intensities. No worries this time of year. And do you want your plants wet when they will stay moist or when they will dry? Sun is believed to activate the milk.

Bud rot is not curable. Removal and prevention. I don't like spraying anything this late in season.

Bud rot and powdery mildew are two very different things. Not sure why your having this issue, but I gave you honest good info on what worked for me. Something else must be going on. I have also read that powdery mildew has different strains, and that can be polymorphic, that is developing a resistance to each treatment it gets, it will knock it down, but then come back stronger and smarter. Perhaps you have a very aggressive strain. Sorry, gave you the best intel I had.

@MICHI-CAN you should try the yellow sticky boards, they work awesome, really. Says 1 every six feet, but I put them every 4-5 one set in beginning and one set when flowering takes off (2 weeks into flower)
You will notice a difrence right away. Next year's coming, not sure how long you have in your greenhouse, if you have 3 weeks or more if do it, especially if your worried bout moths. They are attracted to the yellow, can't help themselves. Then it's too late.

All good. We are all pretty much new every year outdoors. The sun I have found to only be a burn issue during peak intensity hours. 10AM to 2 PM here. I would not spray anything after noon here. 90's fine if a breeze and 4 hours or more before sunset.

It's just the hatch from the few I buds I missed. Half season without the greenhouse. Too many gypsy moths this year. I've found 2 in the last week. Not worried. Had a good size soldier bug hatch a week ago. They are everywhere. Critters should be covered.
