First Grow + Powdery Mildew!

powdery mildew is systemic. by the time you see signs it has been in your plant for weeks. just getting rid of the spores doesn't knock it out. producing spores is how it spreads but its not the main part of the infection. just killing spores on the plant is not enough.

Powdery Mildew is a airborn spore....spores are not systemic are they




1 spore is all it takes for a outbreak of PM.....filtering your air intake is a nessary step to prevention

For a total eradication of the spore..a 100% cleaning of your grow area is nessary (1/4 cup bleach to 1 gallon of water) floors walls ceiling equipment

also a 100% total coverage of your plant with a fungicide is nessary at the same time you clean your Grow room

I used neem oil with greencure mixed together...applied once a week for 2-3 weeks to make sure all spores on the plant have been killed
if your plants are infected greencure and neem mix can only help control the outbreak like herpes...once your infected it doesnt always show because u control it with valtrex. eagle 20ew is proven to knock out powdery mildew INSIDE the plant where it resides. the spores that you see are only its means of transporting itself. plants can be infected still but just not show signs

Think again grasshopper :).....I hit all my shit with eagle20 EW..... kept it away for a week.....just like the dutch master zone and penetrator did

I have tried everything available on the market to get rid of PM......I'm a licensed commercial pesticide/herbicide appilcator

How does your plant get pm in the first place?? Its not born with it ....seeds dont have it.....

Airborne spores cause the fungus.... just like with grapes or roses

If PM was systemic... I would have NOT been able to send my strains/clones to my bro in Denver and have him grow it...he would have got pm ....none to speak off

I know a owner of a dispensary in Denver... hes growing from seed only.....hes got PM in his seed garden......how did he get it??

Systemic PM in seeds...I dont think so

airbore spores transported it to his previously uninfected plants genious, seeds cant pass on mildew...I was talking to my buddy who is earning his PHD in plant sciences from UC Berkeley and he says " Molds and Mildew have hyphae that extend through the substrate making them SYSTEMIC once they set in" so unless you catch the outbreak very very early and deal with it it sets in....grasshopper...
