Powdery Mildew Help!

[eyzovblu]

Anyone used this product? It's a Total Release fogger.
A girl at Marin Hydro recommended it. Shes says it's the most effective thing out there and was just approved for use in California.

My girls are just 3 days into bloom and I'm wondering just how toxic this stuff really is.

It says in the precautions to leave the "Greenhouse" for 4 hours.
My "Greenhouse" is in the basement and, of course would be aired out before re-entering the space.

It does seem less toxic than other fogger products and can be used up to 1 week of harvest.

Anyone???

You need to know how many sq.feet of coverage the fogger covers and maybe only use part of the can I have never used Tr fungicide always the sulfur burner. they say it covers up to 1500 sq. feet a whole can may be over kill to much for 1 application . and remember to turn your fans off and lights off for 4 hours when spraying anything on them. Let me know in a couple weeks if the fogger is working.

Haven't had to use the "Funglafor" yet. I seem to have gotten lucky with a sulfur bomb for the time being.

I'll keep everyone posted on my results if I need to go the Fogger route.

Wish me luck & thanks for the advise..

Do you think that a product that requires you to bomb your whole area and clear out for 4 hours is really the best way to go, to rid yourself of mildew?

Treat it, or use one of these microbial culture sprays and prevent it would have been my 2 cents. That bomb sounds scary. *EDIT: didn't realize this was from so long ago lol

speaking of those cultures, what all does this microlife protect from? I'm all about using as much of nature as possible (bug life, worms in the soil, etc). I know you can have cultures in the soil that are beneficial, but i can't remember hearing about a spray.

Lots Of Ventilation Friend!!

wow. Fungicides, sulphur bombs oh my.

A buddy had the same problem, we solved it by sticking a dehumidifier in the room and kept the humidity low. Any mildew affected parts were removed and it seemed to stop the mildew AND saved his crop (of very large donkey-dicks).
Make sure you clean the water resevoir as it seems to collect the mold out of the air, and it dries in the res. (the resevoir turned the colour of the mildew on the plant!)

good luck, and increase the ventilation too!

Baking Soda and water. 2 tsp to 16 oz water (there is no set amount). Mix in spray bottle and spray on leaves, let dry. All you are trying to do is change the Ph of the leaves.
