Hey there! I love the GFYH podcast. I spoke to rasta jeff last year and he told me his morning dew was the most PM resistant plant he offers. It ran really well compared to my other plants but it still had a little PM. I think I’m going to look into plants bred outdoors from British Columbia. Heres a picture of the morning dew i ran indoors.

I’m curious about this thread I haven’t had anything yet where I’m at not get PM.Everything I’ve ever had has at sometime got that shit.Living next to Lake Erie has its caveats.Indoor same thing I’ve had a million guys say thier shit is PM resistant and still end up getting it I had some BOG sour Bluetooth that tried getting it they got sulpher.That one was supposed to be resistant too.I must have a nuclear strain of the shit

If your growing in a green house, I have found that adding UV-B lighting to my greenhouse has greatly reduced PM and Botrytis on my plants.
I have a 12 X 8 greenhouse and in it I have two four foot UV-B tube lighting running down the length. I was thinking of adding a third. The light are attached to the apex of the greenhouse and I run them most of the time there is daylight. At that distance the lights do not effect the plants much, until they are mature and the canopy is closer. The added bonus of this lighting is when they are flowering the potency of the plants are magnified by the exposure to UV-B light. The UV-B triggers a protean called UVR8 that makes the plant turn on defences, mainly by producing more THC.
I had zero mold or pest problems since staring this all day UV-B regiment.
Here is some info for you to read about UV-B.

About how far do you keep it from your canopy?I may consider adding to my tent and just keeping the plant more squat and away from the light bulb and spread out with a scrog net and supplement with a uvb bulb.There is a spot in the hinge of my light that divides the two light quadrants that even has a space and 4 screw holes in it like it was made to put a UVB light fixture right there

The fixtures are at the apex which is 9.5 feet high. The plants get tall as I like to grow sativas. The closest plants usually get three or less feet away from the lights by the end. I have seen some light burn from the plants that get too close, so I tie them down a bit.

Only thing thats helped my outdooor grows is sulphur or neem foliars until pistols show but never both . After pistols show i.m.e if it shows up its a pia to hold back, but I’ve had some sucess spraying l.a.b.s. . Once it goes from the leaves to buds your screwed
Really curious if people have had sucess with Hypoclorious Acid or if its just people spewing what they read by 1 poster then repeating everytime they read p.m.

I had a run of 12 very LARGE plants last year, I suffer PM every year due to growing in a swamp. The ONLY strain that made it last year without having issues, was Pistachio from Humboldt seed company. And it was the only strain out of 6 of theirs that I didn’t have two worry about, there were only 2 little spots, and I mean little that went away immediately after spraying Zerotol 2.0. The worst of last years run was Blue Iguana from Mosca, it was a PM magnet, didn’t even harvest it because PM got hold and wasn’t worth trying to fight it.
I’m upping my game this year though, gonna go out early and spray the surrounding area with sulphur prior to planting this year. Wish I could isolate what plant is hosting it, but it gets way overgrown and wet back there. I’ve found it all over my yard, but after doing research, none of the other PM I’ve seen will transfer to cannabis, it’s a different species.
Hope you find a strain that will work, I understand where your coming from!!!

If you check the plants that have mildew with a microscope, you should be able to differentiate the colonies and figure it out. My tip is annuals and perennials have radically different looking colonies. One theory is it’s the same as on the zinnias, but I’m not so sure of that.

It was obviously on the Lilac bushes, and I mean covered in it last year. I’ve also found it on some kind of plant growing in the grass in the yard, but not sure what kind of plant it is. Out in the “swamp” there are all kinds of different weeds, flowers, grasses etc. I’m just going to take your advice early in the year, and hit everything hard with sulphur through my fogger, it’s got quite the reach. Wish I had a microscope to decipher it.
Not so specific sorry, but I am pretty sure “sativa” types with longer flowering periods, and less dense buds are common down in central america. Longer season so longer flowering, and the airier buds don’t collect moisture.

Typhoon best strain for humid climate in my expirience. I want to try european sativas this summer, no mold, you can keep it under the snowfall in theory.
