Powdery Mildew

[Morbidangel]

From what i understand PM only grows when the lights are off correct? So my question is would a green night light stop PM growth? If i remember correctly you can run a green colored light when lights are off cause the plants them selves are green so the green light doesn't affect them in there lights off. Just an idea let me know what you guys think. Im battling PM and im 4-5 weeks from harvest ive been painting all the PM sites with neem oil. Ive been painting the sites cause i read its bad to spray your buds with neem this late into flowering.

High humidity is generally the cause of Powdery Mildew. So anything you can do to reduce the humidity, such as a dehumidifier would definitely be a big help. Then you should start burning some sulphur. You can buy a sulfur burner for about $100, or so. If you want to do it more danerously, buy yourself a hot plate and a pot or skillet, and burn your suphur in the pot or pan. Be careful not to burn it too long or too hot, because it will burn your plants.

Those are the basic things you need to do to get rid of PM>

you can also use copper fungiside or even spray with milk yes milk it works also increase your air intake and your air movement aswell as lowering your humidity

AND! milk makes the plants look terrible with all the white residue left over. Sulfur is out of the question cause i dont have 100+ dollars to spend on a burner and this is in my room folks sulfur smells bad and coats everything. Is copper fungicide safe to use in flowering? MY PM issue isnt out of control yet but its raining right now which is a pain in the ass so we shall see how bad it gets RH is at 54%. Normally its around 45% RH. Anyways i need something for when the time comes that i can spray on the buds that wont make them taste like crap and is safe to smoke.

O YEAH! almost forgot to ask. Do you guys think with a PM problem if running the fans when its lights off will cause the PM to spread faster? Im just not sure if running the fans when the lights are off will make things worse or better. Thanks :jointsmile:
