The problem with P.M. is, once you can see it, it's already IN your plants. It takes two weeks to become visible, and it is systemic, meaning the fibers go INTO the leaf tissue and actually start circulating through the plant. Only one thing kills P.M.

Well, one thing besides Sulfur....

Its called Serenade Spray, and it contains a fungus called Bacilis subtilis, or something like that. Anyway, it eats P.M., and you can use it up until harvest, I believe. And, the good thing about it is soon as it gets rid of the fungus, it dies off without hurting the plants.
