It fucking stinks! But so does growing pot. In the past I have burned at lights out, turn off all air flow. The smell can linger out but its really not too bad. When you stop burning kick your ventilation on and it will pull it right out. A small price to pay to be rid of a really shitty situation that can spread and ruin crops. I have found its the only thing that works. SOme of the other things will temporarily stop the PM but it will always come back. With a sulur burn, it will be gone forever. Risk vs reward.
I've always thought the sulfur thing was last resort or going all out
( someone who can't get their environment correct and/or doesnt know how to water correctly)
Its just mpo but whether spraying or burning you're still putting particles in the air that get on the plant. If I had a good size room with a nice size canopy and p.m. I would burn but if you are only doing 1 or 2 plants it's retarded overkill when there's cheaper ways.

If it were 1 to 2 plants I would throw them away. In fact, I would just buy weed then. There always "what ifs". I cant dissect every possible scenario. I'm just telling what I know that works from experience. I've had big rooms and greenhouses. You would be chasing your tail trying to pluck and spray. I know this works and is fast. Take my advice for what you want. And the whole thing can be done for a hundred bucks or sos, so yeah, its pretty cheap. Happy growing.

I get 2 to 3 lbs off 2 plants in 3 months. Would be counter productive to throw them away.Wasnt trying to russle jimmies that's why I said m.p.o. I'm one of the good guys. Many people here on riu are growing only one or 2 plants I was agreeing with you but letting anyone reading know that it might not be necessary to run out and buy a burner when they sit in front of one plant 12hrs a day and get a dime sized spot on a sickly waterleaf. Was just saying there's different options for different scenarios same thing u said.

Eagle nasty stuff.... ya it is, i thought itnwas fungal because of its interations with the plant. Lol totally wrong. But good info if i ever go full organic...

I have also read that farmers can boost plant immunity through calcium uptake and certian aminos...what green house growers in europe do. Although i have no first habd knowledge of this
Seaweed extract contains the amino' you're talking about. Increase plant health to prevent pest problems.
