Powder mildew

This year I out did myself. Apparently while coming in my front door I brushed against a rose bush that has been there forever. What I didn't notice until later was that I have now innoculated the room I grow in. Turns out there are big swatches of powder mold all through that rose. Great! So I am keeping it at a minimum by spraying with hydrogen peroxide mixed in water every couple days.

I had never honestly looked at that rose bush until the crap started on my grow. I will now be very careful of what plants I get near outside. I know now that like pollen, powder mildew makes friends.
 
"Milk spray:
It may seem strange, but many growers swear by a milk spray to combat powdery mildew. The advantage of this treatment is that it is 100% natural, making it attractive to organic cannabis producers. Combine milk in a 2:3 ratio with water and apply for 10 consecutive days."

you can google milk water for powdery milder if you want to read about it more
 
Defoliate anything you can to manage less plant. Don’t flower anything that has shown you pm in veg. If it’s a photoperiod and you wish to keep it you can clone it 2 times with no pm before consider a flowering run with it.

For the next few months I would:

Use Regalia in your waterings for a systemic uptick in prevention on all your plants

Use PureCrop1 and Banish as foliar sprays.
alternate these two every 4-7days as a ipm spray.

You can defeat pm, but your plants have to outgrow the infection without recreating it or letting it take hold again.

I just got got with a pm scare from
A dirty clone. I’ve been resetting. Maintain what I have. Staying on top of environment, and sprays. I won’t be flowering anything that was confirmed infected for awhile as I will have to clone it out a few times
 
Milk spray is good. Dont use it for 10 consecutive days but rather use it once then again in 10 days and every ten days after until its gone. No later than 4 weeks in flower. Sulfur burner works too but thats a little advanced and if not done right can kill your plants.
 
Problem is pretty much at bay from water and hydrogen peroxide spraying and wiping. White spots go away for 3-5 days then appear on another part of the leafs. Wish I didn't have it but it under control.
