can the mildew acculy kill ur plants tho? im having this problem on my plants and i want to get rid of it... are i use hydrogen peroxide for the forst few with in with my water... but just spraying it on the plants will get rid of the mildew?
Yes powder mold can kill your plants, and more often than killing, it just gimps them. Smells weird tastes weird generally just is bad and lowers your yield drastically. If you have it try and find a remedy. The crappy thing is with the sprays, you have to literally cover the entire plant. take your time on each one, both sides of leaves everything if you want to get rid of it. And you have to keep doing it so it doesnt come back. If you see first signs of it do your best to get rid of it. But dont over do it either because its easy to burn them with the sprays, and various cures.
Also you CAN get it if your circulation is good, and your humidity isnt high. I have nice fans with great circulation and my humidity is never too high and ive been plagued with it.

i have had mildew problems when my room was too overcrowded... the spray serenade is organic and has seemed to work.... you spray it on once a week and leave it... (spray in dark of course) .... i also found that bleaching the room down before each new cycle... works well and your room wont smell like cheese...lol

I just nearly ruined a roomful last cycle, I was mixing up my Final Phase to start flushing, and I got a phone call and got distracted, came back in and started watering out of a 20 gal res. without checking the pH, (remembered near the end of watering, so I checked it - Holy Shit, it was around 8 or 8.1) when I entered my outdoor grow-room the next morning, the whole place had a slight haze of mildew everywhere and it just got worse and worse even after flushing with straight ph'ed water, Turned Beautiful healthy trees of Oasis and Blueberry into Complete SnickleFritz...LOL. It was a combination of High pH water, High Humidity and Cold damp night air being sucked in.
I will NEVER water again without checking the pH first

sulfur burner works good to prevent it and if u get it a little bit u still can use it to kill it off! but prevention is the answer! make sure you dont have high humidity and good circulation and if u have to i would spray with peroxide and NOT IMILK i heard of milk but i would not do it to my flowers!!

You can use milk through out the harvest cycle. It not only helps to get rid of powdery mildew, but also helps to fortify the plants immune system. If you are worried about the smell use skim milk. No fat equals no smell. You should mix it at one part milk to nine parts of water. Grow on my friends. PS, you should always find an organic solution before trying any man made sprays. You'll thank yourself in the morning.

here is what i did i sprayed with advanced nutrients protector and Einstein oil up until week 7 (10 week cycle) it worked great and got most of it off for 2 to 3 weeks then it started resurfacing mainly due to the density of the canopy some affected parts are unreachable. week 8 and 9 i used skim milk and week 10 i let them ride it out. Most of it left but i could still find some spores deep inside the bud so i manicured them with a trim pro and that bad ass sucked most of the mildew off and they looked damm near perfect the rest should fall off as thez dry. kind of worried about the flavor but well see.
