PM on newly rooted clones

You really need to take care of pm before pistils appear. It can be used in flower but tuns them brown.. I'm pretty sure it will affect the ph in hydro, maybe cover the rw and monitor ph closely..
Mix 1 tsp per qt for clones spray once a week.. Good luck
Is the 1 tsp per qt for clones that are rooted or cuttings?

I won't be able to do the sulfur stuff, I'm not Bill Nye the Science guy... ANy amazon products I can use?? send a link please... I'm using Athena IPM at the moment.
I bought sulfur from Walmart online it was so easy and it 100% cured my powdery mildew. All that spray and bullshit people tell you to use will never work trust me.

Can you apply it in flower or just veg? ... Yeah like 4 straight days of Citric Acid and I'm still getting PM. Is this normal, should the PM been gone?

If you spray in flower the pistils will turn brown.. So its up to you..
4 days of citric acid in a row on the plants and still seeing PM.... Also can PM make buds small and a smaller yield? My plants are growing at the same rate or height, just wondering if plants can grow like normal and PM just gives you smaller yields... Keep in mind my PM is mild and just on the lower leaves and not on the buds.

Almost 2 months ago, you got some good advice, need to get the enviroment under control then do some reading on your own.
It's endemic now, better try something else besides what you have been doing.

Feb 27...
Toss out all your plants, clean everything, make sure humidity/airflow is good and restart from seed.
You may be able to suppress symptoms for a bit but it will never go away fully/keep popping up. It's a nightmare.
Not worth the $ in treatments and none of those sprays are meant to be combusted and inhaled.
Most are oil based and oil can't be rinsed off.
A good sulfur burn is recommended. Read up on doing it. Say adios to the PM. As well as any bugs.

For future reference, don't spray/ burn sulfur after applying oil, or apply oil after sulfur, not compatible on leaves for couple weeks afterwards.
Sulfur can only be applied on plants at leaf temperatures below 90f/32c until dried.

That’s why I said to read up on it. It’s extremely effective but there’s caveats. How are the results?

Definitely needs to read up on PM, think he's got 5 tents to clean out.
Cheap and effective, just phytotoxic with oil or heat and kills beneficial organisms.

Once you burn the sulfur does it prevent PM too. Like if I have it floating around my basement can it still get on a plant that had a sulfur treatment?

Well I think the citric acid is now working a lot better based on my plants being on day 20 then they were on last flowering cycle on day 20.. I've been spraying the bottom of a few of them even with lights on bc that is where my PM is. Its not completly gone, but I'm barely seeing it. Is it more important to spray the top or bottom of the leave to get rid of PM??

It’s best to get your environmental dialed in then trying to defeat PM you won’t get rid of it by just spraying all the time you need to fix the reason your getting it to begin with and you need to deep clean the grow space. Your just keeping up with it not defeating it.
