Well i brought my buckets plants into the now empty greenhouse a few days ago as the weather has turned nasty and mold was starting to show up.

Today.................all the plants are covered with powdery mildew.

I moved them back outside, I am getting lots of exercise, heehee, and sprayed them with peroxide and water.

This is the first time I have ever got the mildew. Wierd year.

The plants still have 3 weeks to go..........

I do not want to be smokin' mildew, dang.
 
Man the mildew is easy to get rid of if you catch it in time. Here is what I use. Costed me about 12 bucks and it kills it. I've never had it in large amounts though, I always spot spray when it first starts.

It has covered the leaves. Happened so fast. I was away for 3 days and came back to powdery plants!

Me thinks it is too late to use the fungicide, but will look into it to have on hand for next year.

I guess i need to treat the greenhouse with a fungicide now. What do you guys think?
 
I also am having an issue with this white powdery crap. I spent a few days in the hospital and returned to find my plant covered in this stuff. I dont understand how this can form though. I have a pretty dry growing area. Humidiity never gets above 45%. Mostly ranges from 30-40% I'm guessing this lady is pretty much gone, but what will I need to do to make sure this doesnt happen again?

It is amazing how fast that stuff covered the leaves.
I sprayed half the bucket plants and today it is raining on them and the sprayed plants definitely look a lot greener today! I am going to do the others too.
Just 3 more weeks and hopefully I can harvest something!! :)
The two big ones in the ground outside do not have any mildew at all. Thank god.
