Baking Soda for Mold?

[MVRIDER]

Hey whats up all,
So, I got a little mold on my white widdow, it's a real bushy plant and I spotted a little mold on some of the lower leaves yesterday. A friend of mine said he successfully used baking soda as a remedy, and the Cervantes book recommends it as well, but it's a little vague on how to best apply it.

Has any on ever tried it as a mold remedy? I dusted the plant pretty good with it, to get good coverage, then sprayed a little water on it this morning to try to spread the stuff out. Any advice?

Like they smoked it and it made them puke? That would suck. Mine isn't budding yet, it's just a couple of spots on the leaves.

if its white powdery mildew baking soda mixed in water and sprayed on the plant
powdery mildew can not survive in alkaline conditions

other moulds(including powdery mildew) can be dealt with affectively with neem oil , 3 table spoons to a gallon of water add 3-4 drops of dish soap, spray well

Thanks!I kinda thought that was the method, Cervantes is just a little vague on the application, and my friend says he basically dusted his plant, sans water. It's a little rainy here in No. Cal right now, so I think I'll see if that takes the place of spray and just leave the soda on in dry form and let mother nature wet it down.

I'm thinking of getting a jug of Neem Oil. I made the mistake of buying "hyperphobic extract of Neem" ( its an all around for tomatoes, etc.) Dont get this one!! It is so useless, sometimes I think it is bug food!!
