powdery mildew. lots of easy remedies. I use Safer brand organic anti fungus spray. Neem oil sprays, baking soda sprays, hydrogen peroxide sprays. Add one or two drops of plain dish detergent with the home made sprays to help 'wet' the water.

Where are you at in the cycle? That's a pretty nasty pm problem. Are you indoors or out?

Shovels remedies saved my ass

Never had it on my grow, just roses & lilacs. But yeah, definitely soap for wetting agent. THAT SHIT'S WATERPROFF! Just wanted to add, soap, not detergent. Best would be Joy (non-ultra, not concentrated original). Detergent burns plants.
Good luck!

I am outdoor grow and that is the worst of the leaves. I wanted to take the worst leaf to show you. I am about a month till the ends I think. They are Northern Lights. Don't see any on the bus or the tops of the plants just the lower half. Was told to wipe or pull the leaves. They were in a gazebo with 4 walls to hide form the dew in the night air as well as if anyone came into my yard they have no right to look in there if they are from the city. Kinda a long story but my neighbor has turned into an asshole over property lines so I thought if he called someone over I needed to have them hidden. I have one girl that I might give a few days and if I see anything she will have to come down. She is an auto flowering and might only have a week left so if I at least get her down I won't feel to bad. Just would suck to lose all 4 NL.

I've always used plain dish detergent. Dawn, Joy, we buy Ajax brand. NO added bleach or anti bacterial stuff. That's the only kind we buy so I can use it for plants and the dishes. I've had plenty of experience with PM as my wife has a phlox plant that has been highly susceptible to it. This year was an exception. No PM and actually they are in a second bloom right now! Most Excellent! It's also been a very good year for bug pests (meaning, very few bug problems) Even house flies have been few.

Maybe I'm not reading it correctly but do you have a week or a month left? Thought you said a month in the beginning and a week at the end. The problem with PM is when you see a little bit of it, it's already everywhere and that leaf is covered. I'm sure your going to have it on all your plants soon so I would spray with greencure or some other potassium bicarbonate product, I doubt you will get rid of it completely but that will at least help control it. If you put tarps around a gazebo did you put any fans in there? Fo future grows, air movement is a great way to help prevent it and spraying with a treatment or using a sulfur burner before you get it and at the beginning of flower is the best thing.

I have maybe a week for my on autoflowering but at least a month for the 4 NL. I will go see if I can find that greencure. I just bought a fan just for this but I guess it didn't get in there in time. I think it is cause I watered at night and it got condensation on the roof. Live and learn and learn as you go. I no longer grow pumpkins or zucchinis because they always seem to get this on them. If i try the dish stuff can I still use the greencure if I can find it?

Ouch! Best time to water is am, before 10am. After that you can get sun scald. Never water pm as water will stay on plants & attract all kinds of fungus spores, what ever happens to be in the air. It's humid in my area, so I have to make sure I do nothing to block airflow around my grow. Keep it clean, no dead leaves hanging around & other organic debris, & good airflow. Thats the key to prevention disease & insects. Next grow, start using the fan from the beginning. Oscillating fan.

I usually put a squirt of dish soap into anything I spray on my plants, foliar feeding, insecticide, fungicide. Most things need it as a wetting agent.
