Tent Update: Battling With Powered Mildew

avatar

What's good Weed Nerds? Not so much to report on since last update. Or more like I just have not took many pics the past Weekend. Just been taking easy, and somewhat just taking a little digital detox with the Memorial Day Weekend, I had an extra day, and spent it taking care of stuff around the house. I have been meaning to pull out the plants, and do a little Lolloping, and that actually came today. My only concern at the moment is Powered Mildew keeps on showing up on my Knights Templar Og.



But first let me give you all an update on which strains I am growing...

It has been a very long time since I have dealt with Powered Mildew. Back in the day when I was growing in the closet, that shit was constant! I even thought it was a normal part of growing. Which yeah it is, but with the right precautions it does not have to be. This is why it is very important to have an IPM regiment in place. Even if you don't, you better have something on hand, and ready for when the time calls for it. Besides that, air flow. You need the proper air flow, and ventilation. Then humidity. Sometimes you may need a dehumidifier, then at times a humidifier. In my case I need to keep humidity in check between 40-50%.

One good thing that came from my ever lasting battle with PM in my closet days, is I can spot that shit from a mile away! Can you spot it?

This is a type of fungus that forms from water droplets that do not dry in time. I am starting to learn once you have it, it is going to stick around. In my case I brought it home on the clones! I am also starting to thing that this stuff loves OG Kushes. but that is just my theory. I think this because this is the only plant that has it out of all 4. But why does it keep coming back?


  • I really need to clean up the canopy. There is a lot of growth in here that will amount to nothing, taking up energy, and blocking air flow

  • Another reason could be is where it is at in the tent. Since this was the only plant with it, my thinking was to get it away from the fan to stop it from blowing spores to the other plants. From me doing that, it was actually getting the less airflow. So after I sprayed it, this time with Green Cleaner, I now have a fan pointed directly on it.

  • Then like I said previously, this shit may not go away. I am sure as hell going to try though!


Lets hope everything I did this morning is the ticket to no PM! Above is a before, and after Lollipoping. I could of went up a tad higher, but did all this 15 min before I had to head to work. I may go in there tomorrow to finish it up.


Chili Verde

Here is probably the biggest plant I have ever grew indoors! Even with all the foliage, zero signs of PM. But that does not mean I am safe. This shit needs to be cleaned up ASAP, and actually ran out of time this morning.


The Larrys Breath looking great! Maybe not perfect, but hey that's ok with me. I am excited to see if I can get this gal to turn a nice purple. We shall see.


Actually forget which ones these are, but that's ok. It does give you all an idea where I am at(day 25), and the frost is starting to come on. Come next update there should be more to show.

Last but not least, the Dosi Sherbet. My 3 Gallon Contender for the Grow Challenge. Which btw everyone is invited to join, we have tiers for all sizes. If your are growing already, might as well. Then if you are not growing, then use this as motivation to start! I really enjoy it, and then it also gives me content to share here on Hive, it is a win win! So right now I have started to add some bud booster, and will give the gals a top dressing here in a couple days. So until then, everyone have a good one!

Did this pop up after adding the compost? Plants look great! May I suggest finding some organic barley straw, soaking it in fish hydrolysate and applying as a top cover? Maybe can try on one plant or not add the fish. I am sure it will all be fine though! Usually it is a ventilation issue and maybe in this case deleafing the bottom the plants and adding a fan/ air flow to under side of plants might be all it takes.

Anyways wait until you see the post from me later....

Dude they really did start to look great after I added the compost! I had a gnat issue, but that was an easy remedy. So you think the fish stuff would be ok this stage in flower? And damn that owe plants are going to be monsters! I bet your friend is super stoked you moved up there :)

So you think the fish stuff would be ok this stage in flower?

Well, the Fish will encourage the beneficial fungi to take hold onto the barley and will select for the beneficial funguses while there is some cool chemistry with how the barley starts to suppress the bad fungus like mold and mildew. However, there is a caveat and that is if your ventilation is not proper the fish will help the mildew explode. It is really common for plants in this stage of flower to get mildew due to more water in the air from transpiration. So if the heavy humid air is not being controlled at 50%-70% than you can have problems depending on health of soil/plants. Lots of info on this regarding ponds and how the benifical fungus will digest the barley and hydrogen peroxide is produced as a result thus eliminating alge etc. A fun rabbit hole to dive into. The barley alone will probably be a safer bet and maybe try adding fish on next round.... Buildasoil has a great soy aminos hydrolysate or fish hydrolysate powder and can be foliar sprayed up to last 2 weeks of flower.

I bet your friend is super stoked you moved up there :)

Yes, him and I make a great team! We work together well!

I keep on reading PM but never bothered to search what it is. Thanks to your post, I now know how it looks and how to treat it when the time comes. :)
Thank you for sharing. :)

Really the best is preventing maintenance 💪 but there are a lot of great products on the market, or even some home remedies you could do.

Agree. As they say, prevention is better than cure. There are "problems", however, that just pops-up unexpectedly even if we carefully planned before hand. Readily made purchasable products may solve the problem but I would say that knowing at least one home remedy is a great advantage. 🙂

I would rather have thrips, at least those usually go away during flower for the most part. I was so mad after I brought home and I saw PM on the clone, I thought I could just spray it with Dr. Enzymes and it would be gone. If i knew it wouldn't, I would of took back!

Oh yes, or even put it outside or dispose of it. I spent a year fighting it, then just threw everything out and started over. Like 2017

That’s great advice too. Something I should of done way back when I had that tahoo Og. It would of saved me so many headaches if I did throw it away and start over.
