    I had PM myself on my last run and it was a real pain in my ass! It originated on one of my Mendo Afgoo plants right before I switched to flower but I got it under control and didnt see it return until week 5-6 of flower. By this time it had spread to the other mendo afgoo and both of the white widow plants that were next to it. Of my six plants, only the two PURPLE DIESEL weren't affected by this pesky disease even though they were all in close proximity to one another (4x4 hydrohut). I think purple strains are heartier and more resistant to disease in general so go with those unless you're tired of smoking purps cause everyone and their cousin is growing it!

    i thought i had environment perfect with 40% humidity and max 79 temp but it appeared in week 5 of flowering. it was a clone so could have gotten it that way or from clothing but either way. i dont want to see that stuff again. purple diesel sounds interesting. thx for the feedback and hope to get more. i do have barneys farm pineapple chunk, says its mold and disease resistant. anyways, would like 2-3 more strains

    Preventative preventative all about not getting in the first place a plant can have pm weeks before it shows sings and u can not kill it. Just keep it at bay I like to use actinovate foliar and water with it

    The Purps is extremely mold resistant, I've grown it out and witnessed this first hand.
    Lately I have read that Chernobyl by TGA is also extremely mold resistant, according to an outdoor grower that had his crop in a swamp.
    I believe that the mold resistance comes from the BloodWreck side of the Chernobyl cross, so the same should apply to TimeWreck and QrazyTrain.
    I hope this helps, good luck.

    i found chernobyl to be resistant not only to PM but with botrytis and other kinds of molds that effected some of my other plants.... or those other plants(PE auto, Haze, Aurora indica) had terrible resistance. it could go either way, but i'm gonna go ahead and say the chernobyl is resistant
