What sort of growing do you do? May help for people wanting to help?

Natural ways are exactly what you've done, but use a few table spoons of apple cider vinegar to a Litre of water or 1/4 of a gallon. tea spoon of bicarb, done.

OHN's are woderful things if you're into Korean farming or organics and making your own nutrients.

Also depends if you're in flower or not?

Also tell everyone your RH fluctuations and temps, day and night etc.....

Also, get some garlic, crush it into some water and agitate it. Leave it for 24 hours, then dilute into your sprayer and apply.

Have you tried milk and water? As well as Bicarbonate of soda and a little soap.

Milk works apparently. Powdery mildew is a SOB. The bicarb will knock it back but once it sets in it takes quite a few applications to get rid of it and many times I've failed to get rid of it completely. Sulphur seems to work the best but it's dirty shite.

Pics would help.

How bad is it?

Are you sure it's PM and not just the plants sweating salts out?

Are you sure it's not residue left over from you spraying them?

Piccys please. I like piccys. :oik!:
