GROWING PAINS #2
Hi stemians! Hope everybody is having a great Monday, and are not losing their asses in the market. So for today’s post I thought i would talk about a common issue that almost every grower comes across, POWDERY MILDEW!
Powder mildew shows up as little white spots that to me kinda looks like sombody with chalk on their hands touched a leaf with their finger tip..
This stuff really sucks. This is why it’s very important to take the steps before you set up a grow to get proper ventilation. White mildew forms when humidity reaches above 50% and in poor air circulation. Unfortunately in my apt air flow sucks! Also my grow is very small and i can’t get a good dehumidifier to suck the moisture out of the air. I do have a small fan running at all times but it can’t blow air every inch in the room. I recommend a great oscillating fan for sombody that has a bigger setup. Also one of the cheapest and best investment a grower can get is one of these.....
So what can one grower do to combat this nasty as white stuff?? Fortunately there are many great products on the market that combats this stuff.
This is a fish oil spray and works great! Also you can find this stuff in the garden asile of any big retail store. The down sound is it smells fishy, and gets into stems and it’s hard to tell if your finished product is dry since the stems don’t snap.
I started to use a great spray i found because one of Subcools guys on instagram gave me the recommendation to use Mites and Mildew washout..
Don’t panic!!
So remember if your going to take the step and start a grow just know you will most likely come across the white mildew. So take the steps and get yourself a good spray. You can take my two recommendations or just ask your local garden shop what they use.
Anybody else come across this issue? What products do you use? Comment below😎

I had this issue pop up during week 4 of flower. It is such a pain in the ass. The closer you get to harvest the fewer products you can use. I eventually got it in check, but burned a lot of my really nice looking pistols in the process. Everything turned out okay, but the appearance was not what I was hoping for.
Keep that humidity down so you don't have to turn all your plants into butter!
Yes you really dont want to spray your buds. But since i started to use the Mites and Mildew washout it really works well. I stop spraying about 10 days before chop down, Mites and Mildew recomends 7 days before chop down. My buds turn out great!! Im also maybe going to start doing a bud wash in future harvest. Have you tried washing your buds?
Ps thanks for stopping by!
@khackett tokd me you were having issues..Neam oil man. Coat the shit outta the leaves. Uppers and lowers too. Up your temp to like 73 amd bring humidity down to 30 if you can. Lots of heat and fans, stagnant aor creates mildew
Hey! I get you guys mixed up sometimes, lol. The mites and mildew washout i use is actually a neem oil base with dishsoap. MY grow is so small so i bought an Eva dry dehumidifier from target and it sucks! But it does take some moisture out. Also taking a break from pumping $ into the grow, but soon i might bite the bullet and get a nice dehumidifier so i can actually drop that humidity down to low levels, especially the last 2 weeks of harvest. When I do this I will have to sacrifice room and run less plants in flower. Thanks for stopping by and I value your input since you called the cal/mag burn on my spider cookies, which i did do a flush(2 weeks), but im going to cut it down tonight since i got to rotate more plants.
One question for you. What would you think about if i ran a heater in my grow?
I would run a heater to bring it up to 80 if your in flower, 75 if your in veg
cannabis 1 of most powerful herbs on your planet it has a crazy high vibrational quality 2 the entire plant! its why it raise yours. vibrational frequnecy of things affects us quite alot more then we might realise or can at least . but we can hold high vibe ourselves as well as generate it sense we are frequency ourselves!
This sounds about right on!
great post jonyoudyer! keep it up! and thanks again for following!
