EDIT: Hey Hawaii Growers! I am moving to Hana to start growing Medical. I am from Oregon my whole life and have been growing for 10 years here. I've done it all here. Started hydroponics, did that for a couple years. Didn't like the unnatural form of growing that way then moved to smart pots and started using the Cana line as a nute system. I enjoyed that for years. But then wanted to get into True Living Organics, to the purest form of Organics as I could, and have been growing that way for years now and I will never go back.

I will be using my manual I've created for my No Till system in Hawaii. I've been brushing up on the climate in Hawaii for quite some time but there are a couple things I could use help on for you Hawaii growers that obvious have it down!

I've searched this thread as well as I can, considering there's over 750 pages.

I will be growing in a hoop greenhouse by my design and will be supplementing LED's (while blacking the greenhouse out while sun light is out with tarps at night for that extra few hours for vegging) I am trying to use a very little electricty considering it costs about 5x times by kilowatt than here.

Now my huge question is about Mold. Your Hawaiian humidity levels are something that I have never ever dealt with before for outdoor growing. I know there are some strains that are more resilient then others but with humidity levels at most as low as 60% (At least it seems in Hana) I don't know how to attack it properly.

I do have a Floiar/ Mold Spray I make that I spray on my plants once a week that help with Mold problems, which work wonders here, I never have a problem that I will share with you now straight from my manual:

Pest and Mold Prevention Foliar Spray


· 1 Tblsp Aloe Vera Juice

· ½ Tblsp Organic Rosemary Oil

· ½ Tblsp Neem Oil

· ½ Tblsp Potassium Silicate

· ½ Tblsp Dr Bronner’s Soap

Again, this works amazing here in Oregon, but other than my other regular regiments for my AACT, is there something extra I could be doing to help with Mold Prevention?

I don't want to use a dehumidifier considering costs of electricity, that is my one requirement.

Any help on this subject would be amazing!

Thank you all for your time,

You are using the words mold and mildew interchangeably, they are not the same thing.
Just get your greenhouse dialed with good air movement and keep your plants healthy and you will be fine.
Thanks, sorry I meant Mold not Mildew. I appreciate the comment and correction.

Have you ever tried Regalia by Marrone Bio Innovations? It's an organic biofungicide that is an extract of the giant knotweed plant. It's been gaining popularity in the canna industry because it is safe and not oil based. I picked up a gallon recently but to early to say how well it works or not. Lot of people swear by it though.
Supposed to help with both PM and bud rot.

Has anyone ever had a mealybug infestation before? I found one just chillen on the stalk of my plant with what looks like cotton around it. I go to pick it off and the motherfucker juked me with some bruce lee shit lol it glides around the stalk pretty quickly making it hard to pick off. Do they cause damage?
