does anybody know about powdery white mold? My local hydro store said I should use this product SM-90 by Nutrilife after checking into on the website it sayd the product is used for root development. I was told that it has many different uses. And I will be using it as a folier spray. It does have sulphonated canola oil and coriander oil in it so I am assuming that the oil is going to kill the mold. If anybody has experienced this problem before please reply quickly. Much Thanks

neem oil works well, you can find it at walmart. It's all organic and works for pest too. Make sure you have constant air flow in your room with a constant breeze on the plants and that the air is exchanged every 5 minutes

I have already purchased the SM-90 and i was just getting ready to use it. Just wanted to make sure that oil was the correct way to treat the mold. Thanks for your reply

you can also treat powdery mildew with fungicide or naturally with sulfur. Sulfur comes in sprays, dry powder for dusting or you can pay a bunch for a sulfur burner. Personally I have found clod pressed neem and sulfur spray to be the best.

NUTRILIFE SM-90
For Treatment of Root Disease:

SM-90 is a
root disease inhibitor that controls common
anaerobic fungal and bacterial pathogens.
Effective treatment for root disease from
ascomycetes pathogens including fusarium,
pythium, rhizoctonia, phytopthera, sclerotinia,
etc. When added in small quantities directly to
plant nutrient solutions, root disease
infestations are inhibited and new root growth
emerges. Treated plants develop greater root
area and root runs, and exhibit a generally
healthier root development.

For treatment of tissue fungus

(stem and leaf):
When applied directly to foliage or stem, SM-90 is an effective agent to
treat for many molds, mildew, leaf spot, etc. Effective treatment for botrytis,
blight, fusarium, leaf mold, rhizoctonia stem rot, sclerotinia stem rot, and
others. SM-90 is prepared from natural plant oils and is completely nontoxic
to humans, animals and of course plants. It is totally biodegradable and
environmentally friendly.

For Treatment of Insect Infestation:

When applied directly to foliage or
grow mediums, SM-90 is an effective agent to discourage and eliminate
many common pests including aphids, thrips, spider mite, whitefly, etc. It is
believed to act as a systemic to inhibit insect colonization and to deter
reinfestation.

Additional Benefits:

Controlled lab and greenhouse tests revealed an
unexpected benefit that was observed with the treated subjects. Results
indicate that SM-90 dramatically increases the transpiration rate, which
improves the plant’s water and nutrient uptake capability. The plants treated
consistently used 30% more water and nutrients than the control plants.
This results in an increased metabolism and accelerated growth rate.
