  1. BELIEVE IT OR NOT A $2 SMOKE BOMB WILL GET RID OF IT.  iT CONTAINS SULFUR, BUT YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO VENT THE ROOM OUT.  SO IT WORKED LIKE A SULFUR BOMB BECAUSE I HAD IT ALL OVER.  i FIGURED I WOULD SHARE BECAUSE IT REALLY WORKED WELL.  I HAVENT SEEN IT SINCE.  FOR A MERE 2 DOLLARS.  BE CAREFUL INHALING THIS IS HAZARDOUS...GL

  2. You could use hydrogen peroxide diluted in water as well.

    yea I heard about that, but when I had it I had it so bad I had to wait until my batch finished then bomb the room because the fans blew it everywhere.  I didnt want to spend days wiping everything down and then it come back because it got in the vents.  I got it from some clones at a dispencary.  man I was pissed.

    its the same as sulphur bombing.  at least thats the way I saw it.  thats the most effective way to kill pm.  all other ways just keep it at bay so you can harvest the plant.  smoke bombs contain sulphur and the sulphur get into everything in the room just like a sulpher candle or sulphur bomb, so it wont return.   PM dont just stick to your plants but inside your ac, fan, panda film everything.  But peroxide can also burn your leaf tips, hell ive even seen neem oil do that.
     
    I warn everyone to use with causion.  Even thoe I tested and its proven to work, it's still dangerous.  
     
     
     
    NO FIRECRACKERS     only smoke bombs.
     
  7. yes, but if you run organic teas you get the sulphur without any contaminates. The plants take botanical teas really well and you can eliminate powdery mildew with the alliums. I used garlic after mistakenly allowing the leaves to remain caked in pollen for a couple weeks
     
    solved that, and nearly solved my habit of flipping the 2x1 trays
     
  8. I think you add a few drops of H2O2 into water to dilute it, and then soak the buds in there for a minute, while moving them around a bit, but not too harshly or risk the crystals falling off. You'll see the mildew on the surface, like some grim. I saw it from Jorge Cervantes on YouTube.
    Hang it up to dry and finish the rest of the process. I've read that water curing can also make the weed smoother but at the cost of its looks. Really want to try it...
     
  9. Similar to what a sulphur burner does just less controlled. In flowering it can make your buds smell and taste like sulphur if you over do it. Also all you did was kill the spores on the surface of the leaves. PM is a systemic plant disease in which there is no cure for. There are various products you can buy or make to use as a preventative or to keep it from spreading. The sprays you can buy or make raise the PH levels on the surface of the leaves to a point that either it kills the PM spores or prevents PM spores from infecting a plant. A sulphur bomb or burner is another way to kill PM spores on an infected plant and also works as a preventative.
     
  10. yea it was a bummer my last grow....i wouldnt use sulfur at all unless ive harvested and about to start another grow..........ive heard of using garlic its said that its pretty good.....I also heard that keeping chive or is it garlic......well anyway i heard keeping one of them spices in your room actually keep the insects away also...they cant stand the smell of it.
     
  11. You can use a sulphur burner in veg but be careful in flowering. Some plants can repel some insects but I don't see how it could repel PM after all PM spores travel through the air to infect a host plant. Some plants are more resistant then others.
     
  12. no im saying the herbs repel pests lol
     
  13. Ah ok wasn't sure there.  I know that grape plants are prone to PM and spider mites.
     
  14. seriously.....damn im glad i only got 1 of those going then....but i think im ok...flowers outside had pm on them and might of had came through my ac at 1 time
     
  15. PM outdoors is more common in humid areas. Although a friend of mine who grows and only lives a few miles away had one grape vine growing that he planted in his backyard and it got PM and I told him to start spraying his plants with green cure.
     
  16. aint that weird....ive never seen a vine of home grown grapes that hasnt had pm on them
     
  17. Whats weird is that our family home had 4 different types of grape vines along the back fence that's about 100 feet wide for decades and I honestly don't recall if they ever had PM. My neighbor behind us has a few grape vines going and I haven't seen any PM on them but yet my friend who lives maybe 5 miles away has it on his grape vine and little apple tree.
     
  18. that sucks...he's definetly has a problem if there on his apples
     
  19. Its a baby tree that's not producing yet.
     
  20. i use a tiny bit of white vinegar in a spray bottle with water.  spray the leaves and it's gone in 24 hours.
