Lmao I wondered the same. FYI, anyone adding me can see the sour bubble I grew by Doug Dawson.

Hey… uhh did you know that mildew article I found on your page is… full of misinformation?
Could you share the misinformation? The info on that page was sourced University extension services and plant pathologists. If there is bad info, I need to fix it and email some people to fix their sites

Brother… I would fall in love with you if you can do that. That’s not sarcasm.
Well for starters you can wipe out powdery mildew easy as pie, there’s definitely a way to kill it off entirely. It’s definitely not everywhere waiting for the opportunity, aka humidity, to infest. IT has to be brought in first. Then it can start infesting year after year because it overwinters on downed plant material and the rhizome/stalk of perennial plants. blah blah blah I can fill a book. There is one single requirement for the pathogen to infest: it has to detect the host. I’ve also got explicit instructions to exterminate the parasite outdoors as well. It requires minimal investigation by the gardener.

Appreciate it @JoeCrowe !
I will respectfully disagree with the not everywhere comment with the caveat I mostly work outdoors in farm fields. The vegetation in those fields are hosts for PM, if you are growing outdoors I would assume it is everywhere. One of the base principles of IPM is preventing infection. If you assume it is everywhere, you take the steps necessary for prevention, which is proper plant nutrition and pruning to allow for airflow.
PM might not need humidity to grow, but the spores require humidity to “bloom”, if you can prevent that by controlling humidity and plant nutrition then you don’t need to worry about treatment.
I don’t use chemistry to treat pests or fungicides which is an important piece of information. Cannabis, especially outdoors where you can leverage predators and parasitoids to handle pests doesn’t really get bothered by too much where I am. That means that my advice, and my education and research, is for people who are growing organically. In organic management getting rid of PM is harder than preventing PM, especially when there aren’t a lot of labeled options for growers.

I did a 5 year university phytopathology study on it, so you can test that shit out. I used a biological darkfield microscope and ultra violet flashlight. Read up the hundreds of pages of shit I posted on here, it might shock you.
