How do I recognize, control, and prevent Powdery Mildew?

Hey I believe in good information. And there so much misleading information out there and tell you the truth the only people that suffer are the new growers. Experience is the only answer

The way i take care of it is sulfur i soak my starters and i hit them again a week before flower and it takes care of it my temps and humidity are out of whack and it works for me

I did try high temps because some people said pm cant survive in high heat and yeah it did not work for me just made things worse and high ph water like 10 ph and another crap idea does not work so i hope other people dont fall into the same trap. And pm half way through flower i tried high frequency water and that works for a wash but it does not solve the problem just cleans it up for 2 days and then its back now i know just take the lost and start fresh as sad as it is to say

Evasive.

Here’s the facts: mildew spreads through spores and is a fungal plant pathogen. botrytis is also fungal plant pathogen that spreads through spores.

You freely admit you can get botrytis from airborne spores, but think this is impossible for mildew because reasons, even though it contradicts basic reasoning skills, other grower’s reports, and every scientific resource. Somehow, Joe blocks the mildew spores yet is powerless to prevent the botrytis spores. That totally adds up.

Just increase humidity? PM hates humidity now? Nowhere humid can have mildew? The tropics are mildew free?

Claiming the plants spray themselves with sulfur? Really just making stuff up now, as I suspected.

That didn’t work, because “high frequency water” isn’t a thing. Just a made up woo-woo, a metaphysical sales ploy.

hahhah see now you are denying what the university studies said. Yo vernal go read some studies.

I give this study A- it’s really good.

I give this study an A+!!! I think this study is the best yet, I’ve read.

I did. Some highlights:

“However, the
relative humidity of the air does need to be
high for spore germination. Therefore, the
disease is common in crowded plantings
where air circulation is poor and in damp,
shaded areas. Incidence of infection increases
as relative humidity rises to 90 percent”

No wayyyyyy

I know, that’s why they got an A-.
“Powdery mildews are severe in warm, dry climates” it says that too.

The sheer audacity and arrogance of “grading” research from actual scientists, who actually do this work, boggles the mind.

Have fun LARPing as a scientist lol. I’m out.

oh, you want me to spoon feed you the answers? Yah they are right, I gave em an A- because they didn’t explain why. See… the sun isn’t friendly, and can reduce the growth rate of the colony… and yes I tested that. It’s all about the radiation.

The only way to get radiation into your grow is to bring in a cutting already carrying radiation. It doesn’t just transmit through the air.

And fish can only get in ponds that are connected to other rivers and lakes lol. If you find a pond in the middle of nowhere with fish…someone must have stocked it surreptitiously. Damn stockers.

Algae can’t get in your fishtank unless you bring algae in your house.

sorry bro my bad. I’ll just call an end to it.

hey, yawl! here’s an excellent study!

it details the plants immune response to fungal infection.

The most amazing part of this whole thing, is nobody even asked to see the university studies. I find that mind boggling.

I don’t, people are ignorant.

Found this today. It’s almost like this stuff is in the air or something.

It’s a ghost rose X cookie devil

That’s an advanced case of mildew bro, what plant did it come from?

I have 4 plants the 3 others are mildew free (at least to the eye.) All started from seed ~90 days ago. No other plants nearby I don’t even have a veggie garden this year.
