So I set up my grow and everything was going great. and then powdered mildew showed up.
I have since cut most of the under foliage off the veg plants and sprayed generously with Potassium Bicarbonate but I really need to kill this stuff rather than just repel it or I am going to be dealing with it forever.
So I decided to try ozone. I know the plants don't like it but I am hoping the mildew likes it even less. so using the Chemotherapy theory basically I am banking that I can kill the mold off permanently before I kill the plants.
I started today hosing down the plants as well as the walls with a commercial ozone generator hooked to a 1" hose so I can direct where I want the ozone to go. I will keep posting my progress and if anyone has additional input I am up for it.
thanks!
