You could also use neemoil.

A great product that I sprayed on my plants when I got white flies (after trying a tabasco/garlic mixture that did work to some degree) and didnt notice ANY adverse change whatsoever... they actually seemed to like it was Tomatoe and Vegetable 3in1 Insecticide, Fungicide and Miticide By Bonide. The active ingredient is Clarified Hydrophobic Exract of Neem Oi.

Thanks for the info.I can try various other methods if I choose, yes I am aware, but this is what I purchased and I intend to get the most from it. I don't want to try any more home remedies at this point. If u read my journal I've exhausted the aforementioned options in ur quote. Click the follow my grow link in my signature. Its somewhat of a lengthy read,but u'll c what I'm talikin about. That's y I'm here with this product that is effective and came highly recommended. Thanks for ur input anyhow.

Update.
I'm still spot spraying. I sprayed a few buds to see what would happen. No ill effects as of now. We'll see come harvest how the taste and smell are affected. This shit stinks, tho. Don't now if I mentioned it, but it smells close to ass. My plants look great all things considered. The PM appears to dry on leaf surfaces. Don't know if the spores are still active. This is a personal experiment. I hope we all walk away with useful info. I'll keep posting in this review until I have a finished product. And to answer ur question,I do manually remove leaves that have the majority of the surface covered in PM. This is just my way for the moment. I'm not suggesting NE1 else not willing to take a considerate risk try this yet. I'm waiting on the final result (after a smoke report) bout another month. Keep in mind this is a review for a product to deal only with PM. If u got rid of mites and other stuff great post a review about ur experience in its own respective thread. I'm not here looking for an alternative.I desire to work with what I have for now. However if u know of a fungide for PM besides garden shears please share. They're all fungistats in regards to PM. U can't kill it (the same way we can't kill a virus), it has to run its life cycle. Its systemic as I believe u may already be aware of.

Ok so since PM can't be irradicated completely (to my knowledge) serenade is a decent fungistat. Its good at helping control the outbreaks. It will dry out the PM and leave a dusty, coarse textured residue on leaves or stems where PM once was. Best if used in veg to spray whole plant for preventative measures. Stinks to high hell , but not as bad as other sprays. Not much more I can say. It allowed me to run PM infected plants through a whole cycle. Half were harvested a week or 2 early but with the help of this product we made it. Overall I'd rate this product a 7 out of 10. I didn't really know what to expect. Worked out pretty goodd though IMO. If u have a PM problem I'd recommend giving this a shot especially if ur growing organic then this is a must have.

did it affect the taste and smell of the buds whatsoever?? and was the bud quality affected by the Serenade spray

[BWC BayArea]

The most noticeable affect was on resin production. Didn't taste it after cure and can't smell it on finished product. Click the Follow My Grow (completed) in my signature. Once u get in the journal use the search this forum feature in the mid upper right hand corner type keyword serenade. U can read all about my experience with powdery mildew an Serenade. Serenade stinks but I didn't use it that close to harvest other than spot spraying foliage. Kept it off buds, except for the one I sprayed accidentally or purposely to monitor the affect. I had a few buds with PM but for the most part it help keep it manageable. Plus the strain I was working with appears to have a good resistance to pests and fungi (compared to the other 10 or so strain I've worked with). Hope this helps and welcome to our forums.
