White powdery mildew, what do I do?

The Amazing Doctor Zymes Eliminator is a revolutionary green solution that kills and eliminates soft bodied insects, molds and mildews on your indoor or outdoor gardens. Eliminator is a proprietary formula, hand crafted to ensure quality control. Professional Growers use it all year to ensure pest free, mildew free plants. Many of them have told us that they realized an increase in yields by not having to combat pests and mildews with toxic or oil based products and that as a preventative they did not see any pests or mildews even up to the day of harvest.

Eliminator will not clog the stomata. This can produce an increase in yields. Most pest control products can set you back 2 weeks from stress or never give your plants a chance to breath and take in CO2 and sunshine at optimum levels.

Eliminator is OMRI listed which means that it is approved for Organic Gardening practices. This was a long process to ensure that all of our ingredients have been verified and approved.

Eliminator is made in handcrafted batches to ensure quality control. One of our customers that has an online Retail store told us that “Eliminator is #1 in customer satisfaction of all their products they offer online”.

Eliminator is comprised of organic materials combined with other biologically stimulating ingredients. Our citric acid is derived from a fermentation process. This is the only method OMRI recognizes in order to be OMRI listed. Our proprietary formula is bacteria-free and all ingredients are food grade. These ingredients combined together form a highly effective insecticide and fungicide.

Eliminator works by disrupting the insects’ ability to breathe. The acid derived from our proprietary formula breaks down protein and organic matter such as eggs and insect droppings. It is a highly effective deterrent as well.

Eliminator works on mildews and molds by the citric acid digesting the biomass and changing the pH to create a hostile environment so that mildews and molds cannot take hold.

Eliminator can be used as a soil drench to combat fungus gnats, soil borne pests, molds and mildews. It is highly effective and safe when used as directed.

Use Eliminator year round for a pest free, mildew free garden. When used as a preventative, it will prevent infestations from taking over your garden. Make sure you follow our recommendations for optimum pest and fungal control as pH is a crucial factor for success as well as water temperature. They should send me a free gallon for beating the drum for them . And I will stake my reputation on large healthy plants and good results removing molds and mildew and garden pest goodnight joe .

I think the disconnect is the difference of outdoor vs indoor. Inside is a controlled environment where the only source of reinfection is you and stuff you bring in. Elimination outside is almost impossible even with the sulfur, since there’s the constant threat of reinfection. Even if you cured the plant of it before, it may not be coming back but a whole new infection.

It really depends on which mildew species are lurking in the weeds and random plants. Like the petunia I sprayed, I don’t expect that colony to ever re-appear in the green house.

That info is on the bottle it may take several applications as it did for invasive pests . Joe just keep doing it your way its ok this is just another option people can try or not . They send out free samples to try when I run out I’ll see what else is on sale maybe road flares or gopher bombs for my tent only . I keep saying I grow outdoors there no way to completely eliminate every little problem there’s something new every day today was a big fat grasshopper . The winds up can’t wait to see what blows in . I hand pick pest every day sometimes three times a day I try and keep spraying to a minimum .


Does this answer your question?

I would not recommend spraying milk, mouthwash, garlic, oils (not even neem or suffoil-x) for a pm infestation. Baking soda may help keep it at bay, but not gonna take it out. Potassium bicarbonate would be better than sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) if you were going to go that route. Just saying…

And yeah, I’m with Joe, until I find something that kicks the hell out of it like sulfur does, I’m gonna stick with sulfur.

I know, I was particularly disgusted by their “solutions” to the problem. Fuuuuuuuuuck where did they get those ideas? That’s like a cartoon that writes itself.

So what works at the end of the season when in full flower ? I used sulfur on grapes to fight molds and mildews but have never tried spraying it on my grow but its in my fertilizer and the plant’s take what they need . I’ve tried a lot of soaps and different methods most sucked on a large scale when dealing with plant pests and infestations . Washing all the soaps off when its cold and wet is asking for disaster I like to hang my harvest pest free while curing . I’m working off a ladder latter in the season trying to hold the pump sprayer and not fall into my plants .

It is generally not recommended to spray anything on full flowering cannabis plants. If I have to, I spot spray with a little potassium bicarbonate to keep it at bay later in flower. At that point, I assume my IPM regimen was not sufficient.


Alright, we’ll exit the lab into the wilderness. Here’s the scenario above 2 green houses one with mildew, one with none and they are almost 7 meters apart. The infestation shows up on the cucumber and squash and pumpkins right? We’re not even talking about the mildew that infests cannabis, but a handy analog… something almost exactly like it. Cucumbers in both greenhouses, but only the large greenhouse gets the mildew on them. The mildew will not magically travel from the big greenhouse to the small one. The only way for me to start an infestation is get an infested plant and move it into the small greenhouse. The pumpkin plants outside the greenhouse about 30 feet away won’t get it either. When the mildew showed up on the petunia, I sprayed it with sulfur and I’ll never see it on there again. The mildew isn’t some magical beast, lurking everywhere. Certain species will winter over on fallen host leaves.
The best way to see if there is an outbreak coming is to check the pores of the plant, they are easy to see at 1000 times magnification.

You can see the little openings here and there on the leaf surface where the fungus takes root.

Basically if you are battling powdery mildew in the fall, you have already failed. The infestation has taken over and it’s blooming. That’s not a good place to be. The best idea is to start with seedlings or clones that are already mildew free, then you don’t have to worry.

Well the odd fogging and putting filters over my intakes is an acceptable amount of prevention for me. I should have been using intake filters all these years anyways.

Compared to pulling EVERY SINGLE plant out and thoroughly spraying them ever 5 days this is like heaven lol

I think there were smaller ones but it was almost the same cost. If you’re in the states maybe you could get a group buy going, 1/5th or something of the sheet would be enough to last someone a while.

Just look for MERV13 filter fabric there are plenty of different options around especially if you’re in america.

good work, just keep mildew plants out of your grow until they are cleaned off with some sulfur. Should be smooth sailing from here on out.

I sure hope so! I’m firing up my second flowering box soon. For whatever reason it always got pm much worse than the others despite being 3 ft away in the same room lol. If this round goes smoothly back there I’ll be very confident I’ve beaten it.
