One day. The dream lives.

Carry on.

It actually rained today! First time in a month. Just enough rain to fill the garbage cans from the runoff! The mildew on the peas actually became visible during the heat wave. Eventually I noticed it on some other plants, and it definitely is all visible by the same time for each different species. I think there’s like three different ones out there! I should start gathering each kind and imaging them so I can see what the difference is, if I can pick one out heh heh.

I’ve seen the superstition dance a number of times and it always goes like this:

Hey this rock keeps mildew out of my grow!
How do you know that?
Do you see any mildew?

Please people… that’s not what “thinking” is. The rock is unrelated to the absence of mildew.

I’m not suggesting. Nobody should be playing with Ozone. And I’ve done the testing and use the system. It’s not for everybody but I use it. And by the way Powdery Mildew is spread by the wind, there are white papers Mr. Crowe. You may have everybody’s respect and may of earned it but you are wrong about ozone killing PM on Cannabis and PM spreading by the wind. You might want to use the light/ozone generator in a test so you can be right next time you rail on somebody.

Just starting to pop in.Cease seems to be knocking it back second application and I’m seeing something starting to happen.

Got to get that “dont question the narrative!!!” Post in there. Lol everyfuggintime there [YOU] are. Taking a look at the sky and I see intentional trailing. You can try to tell everyone to not look at the sky and watch the ground all you want. Nothing to see here nothing to see here move along" You stick out like a sore thumb every time. Running cover for the devil. You WILL have to explain yourself one day and your actions to help the dark
Win. I know that day is coming closer every second. Keep up the dark
Work and you will win that reward. You reap what you sow you OBVIOUSLY have not learned yet but you will. Glowsticks gonna glow.

Question. When you say don’t spray sulfur in flower, does that mean after day 1 no spraying? Or no spraying as soon as flowers start to develop?

I have PM on some of my outdoor plants and they’re just starting to flower. Mostly still just shooting pre flowers and stacking.

Also, can sulfur sprayed flowers still be used for hash?

I’m interested in these studies, can you put the links you’re referring to?

Please understand that the ultra violet light has been debunked. It simply wastes your time and money.

Oh don’t worry, I already reaped…and it was good :smiley:

The sulfur will bond to the plant surfaces and make your weed taste like gun powder. I would be really careful with that. Don’t be smoking the sulfur!

Yah that looks like the beast! So how long did it take to re-infest? about 40 days?

…so does that mean it’s too late? Didn’t really get an answer I was looking for

No clue just popped up about a week ago.The Cease is doing something wierd to the mold it’s not bright white it’s like a flat color now and the pm looks flat looking.It’s starting to do something to it and the Pm doesn’t like it.I’m going to follow up with some potassium bicarbonate foliar in tandem with this I think

It’s up to you, if you want to risk it. Personally, I wouldn’t do it. I’d just make that plant into tincture.

ehhh those don’t eradicate the mildew though. Did you do a thorough clean of the operation to get rid of any downed material/did you spray the downed material as well with sulfur? Because it can regenerate from there.

Thank you. I’d rather follow your intuition rather than mine since I’ve never used sulfur before.

Next time, just get the plant coated in sulfur earlier in the year to eradicate the mildew before bloom. An Ultraviolet flashlight can help you see the mildew before it’s visible to the human eye. Then you can nip it in the bud.

Effects of wind, relative humidity, leaf movement and colony age on dispersal of conidia of Uncinula necator, causal agent of grape powdery mildew - Willocquet - 1998 - Plant Pathology - Wiley Online Library But there are lots and I have no need to research what I already know. Just Google “Does wind spread powdery mildew” and the answer was " How Does Powdery Mildew Spread? Powdery mildew spores typically drift into your garden with the wind , but if you’ve had powdery mildew occur in the past, new outbreaks may also come from dormant spores in old vegetative material or weeds nearby.

You should read that study again and really get in touch with what it says.
