Low Keys 2024 Season
- Thread starter Low Key
- Start date
Its in Oklahoma, but this is a low impact year for me so far. Last year when it was a bad year, my friends growing in town and in the middle of a 20 acre treeless field did not get it. Crossing my fingers that this dry summer continues!

I heard you can use liquid copper spray during veg as a preventative …i don’t think it’s safe during flower tho…I also heard you can use neem but i’m not 100% ..i’m hoping the environment keeps it in check..I defoliated the bottoms and tried to increase airflow..got a fan blowing on them now too

I use both, so far it’s the only thing that’s been keeping everything in check

Copper has always worked for me but after reading that its a heavy metal an builds up in soil I have changed over to sulfur this yr zero black spot an zero pm. The trick is to recognize it early an start treatments.
I did some early sulfur only treatments as well. I have heard that Regalia can also work as a preventative. https://www.arbico-organics.com/product/Regalia-biofungicide-Reynoutria-sachalinensis/natural-organic-plant-disease-control

what about bio fungicides for prevention ? doing some research and apparently some types of bacillus occupy the leaf surfaces and outcompete disease and are good at preventing leaf spot ..pretty much like a B.T. spray but a different strain of bacteria ..i think lactobacillus/subtilis and amyloliquefaciens

The thing about those sunlight kills them on the spot you have to spray every day to keep up that gets old an very pricey. Sulfur in veg zerotol in flower will keep black spot, pm, an bud rot at bay.

that makes sense, looking into zerotol now!
Seranade is supposed to be effective against funguses and septoria and is a bio fungicide. https://www.arbico-organics.com/product/Serenade-ASO-biofungicide/natural-organic-plant-disease-control?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw8MG1BhCoARIsAHxSiQl4uenqm8joVR-pMkwJgVmVzUU9ADBO6LCglVxJPSJISFzN4TFpz_gaAj8JEALw_wcB

Sadly Serenade didn't work for me either. That's how I found Regalia, from a friend here.
