Y’all pop off like that and the thread’s gonna get locked lol.

I agree with ya though, Joe is the only person I have talked to who claims total eradication from sulfur. Evidence does show it can control PM, anecdotal and white paper science, but total indoor eradication is the sticking point we’re all squabbling over.

never trade skill for luck.

oof I’m sorry bout that olereynard I can be a bastard sometimes.

I heard if you smoked E20 you would fly like an eagle… :eagle:

And it’s also great for PM

Edit: sorry thought this thread was on post-mortem

When I think coat with sulfur, I’d think the more direct coating with fine powder. Spray with slurry so everything is wet, but then hit it with the powder

Not the only person…heritage farms has beaten it with a combo of sns and some other things I read.

You have beaten it.

I bow to the mystical powers of science! If Joe Crowe was a rapper he’d be gal-la-la-yo. Check the orbit round the planet, beatch

God I’m bored.

But did he beat it with only 2 applications of sulfer?

@schmarmpit will you be using crowes “universal” method? Would like to see if in the long run it’s true for your setup

It would appear not. But you already knew that. Trollololalong

Yes I’m trying it. I trashed everything in my veg and flower tents because it was getting out of hand. They’re empty now. I kept my clone tent that still had all these cuts I’ve acquired. They all had PM in varying degrees but certainly not out of control. I’ve already completed my second spraying a couple days ago, about 1.5 weeks from the first. But I’m also taking each plant and dusting up and down the stems with the sulfur powder like SeaMonkey mentioned.

I feel like that is where the sulfur could fail, in application method. After the first spraying only I noticed some glowing bits hiding in hard to reach areas a few days later. In the small crooks underneath fan leaf stem and main stalk junctions. Bits underneath a leaf. If a fan leaf was pulled off then the broken stem part usually had a little glowing ring around the edge. The small hairs on the stalk are good at protecting the mildew.

I’m lucky my clone tent is small and the plants are small. I can take my time and literally coat every surface. I could not imagine being able to be that detailed in a large grow. You’re going to miss a tiny spot and it will eventually come back. I still feel this may be the case for me but I’m giving it my best try. For science. So far I’ve not spotted any glowing bits for over a week now.

Soon I will transplant a select few into final pots, veg a couple weeks (with another application of sulfur for safe measure), and then flip them. If I see even one glowing bit at any point after that I’m trashing everything and starting from seed.

In this test round we’ll have Tampa Crippy, Platinum Kush Mints, Super Lemon Haze, Lava Cake, Bubba Kush, Sundae Driver, and Slurricane. I should mention that I had Lava Cake and Sundae Driver around 4 weeks in the infected flower tent. For whatever reason those two strains out of 9 different plants were almost unaffected. I say almost because I was still able to find some small specs on them so they got trashed as well.

So I guess it’s not quite Joe’s method. I’m going even harder with the sulfur.

Hope it works for u. I needed to stop growing for home repairs so imm a start back up in the fall. Clean the room a bunch, run a hepa filters and then bring all my grow supplies and equipment and use an ozone generator on it all.

Never taking in clones again unless its for outdoors

online they say you could spray it a third time if you aren’t sure you got it all. It should be good though, sulfur hits the mildew in the metabolism.
Also I like your skeptical attitude @anon5325009, you aren’t sure if it’ll work but am waiting on peer review :wink:

here’s the off-the-wall part. You think I’m the only human on the planet that knows this stuff? Or… you think someone could type this crap into google and look it up and see the exact same or very very similar protocol to get rid of the mildew? Egads, humans!!!

I knew you were referring to cannabis, and I understand what you are saying. This is the way I see things (just my opinion of course). Myclobutanil is not allowed in the tobacco industry which is legal federally, so testing can be done at universities. This isn’t ‘the rules aren’t fair for cannabis’ issue. This is a ‘not for use on smokable product’ issue - contrary to the unfair cannabis rules philosophy Vern speaks of. Once universities get the go ahead to start studying cannabis (and this is already happening b/c of hemp) we are going to get some real data and what is and what isn’t.

However, at this time the data says - not allowed federally for tobacco, afaik MI is the only state that is allowing a trace amount (2 parts per billion) in cannabis, scientists are saying don’t use it on cannabis, people are claiming to have side effects.

Then there is Vern saying he hasn’t died from it yet, so it must be ok. But wait… he only sprayed it once and everything was eradicated overnight. So how much has he smoked? Doesn’t that in and of itself disprove his own theories? But he posts over and over how safe these chemicals are for everyone to smoke.

I am not as ‘emotionally involved’ as Vern keeps saying. I just see someone who is trying to argue a point with no data to support their claim. If he was arguing the Cardianls were the best baseball team, I would care less. However, he’s telling people to do something that could damage their lungs and impact their health. I find that very irresponsible. I have recommended spinosad. I now have data that suggests it might be dangerous to lung tissue. I’m telling people about the data I’ve found, and I’m phasing it out of my routine.

And shit man, this got way long. I’m not directing all this at you or anything like that. Just a stoned ramble.

This thread is awesome! I re-read the entire thing. OMG! There is some info in here that is so excellent! It’s like an encyclopedia of mildew info. I mean… if you ignore all the bullshit lol! Is it my imagination or does the truth that’s in this thread have some kind of glow to it of awesomeness. Then the misinformation it’s like a smattering of turds. It’s got everything… shocking plot twists! gasp

What sort of problems have been reported with spinosad? I used it once around week 3 of flower.

Nice knowing yall. Sounds like im toast.

It’ll generate hydrogen cyanide. Depending on what you are trying to kill with it, you should probably use something else.

You’re gonna get tendonitis if you keep whackin’ yourself off so furiously.

@PlantShepherd I’ve gotten PM on several occasions…so yeah I’ve smoked plenty. Who knows how much on other black market bud I’ve bought. And it’s 200ppb, not 2, BTW.

I still have all my hair, eat like a horse, lean and spry, wake up feeling like a million bucks, and my dick gets hard like I’m still 19. Is this what illness/dying feels like lol? Be a dear and do let me know when a single person dies haha.
