How To Deter & Cure Powdrey Mildew.

[kbag]

My Agent Orange mother plants got powdery Mildew after losing their way somewhat and becoming unhealthy weakening the plant's defenses. The mothers, unfortunately, did not survive but I did take clones. No matter what I tried to do with these clones indoors, they looked sick in coco or compost. So as a last resort I took a spindly-looking stick of a clone and planted it into the earth outside. Over time the plant became healthy but the Powdery Mildew would not go even though I had sprayed it with milk and Potassium Bicarbonate. Although these sprays would knock the powdery mildew back or I believed I had cured it a few weeks later it would be back.
What I did was add the Milk and Potassium Bicarbonate together with a bit of dish soap and sprayed every 3 days for 18 days then once a week then every 2. I even sprayed in mid-bloom with no ill effects.
My conclusion:
Adding the 2 together and more aggressive foliar spray treatments 100% worked.
So here is a nice cheap recipe to Cure and Deter Powdery Mildew.

Half a liter of hot/warm water add 3 teaspoons of Potassium Bicarbonate and mix well (allow to cool if using hot water).
Add half a liter of milk any type will do even if it has gone off.
To finish just add a squirt of dishwashing soap and mix well.

It worked for me and saved me from losing a strain I have had for many years.

My tent in the garage has some powdery mildew on the outside, wondering what I can use to clean it as i've never had this problem before. Don't fancy spraying anything like milk that will make it smell bad, any suggestions?

I’d be wanting to spread some probiotics on it, I know Green hand organic sell some

UVC wand wafted across and around your plants for a minute or two is another trick to combat it Kbag. Sounds like your winning though.
