What I found worked best is double the rate of application 2oz per gal the first time and spray them good. Then just spot spray them after that unless it’s really bad. After that it’s just touch up and spray the surrounding areas too if you see pm in the yard.
I’m also going to wash everything in the green grow flower shower at harvest. Fuck PM
Yes if I had PM really bad I would wash too. I've had it really bad several different times before, before I understood how I should run my plants with p.m. that's everywhere around me, it's in every yard in my area. I used to use the really heavy duty 36%? hydrogen peroxide concentrate and dilute it down to about 6%.
I would wash all my bud in that mix to remove the P.M. And all the other crap that was on the product.
But now after I've gotten some years of growing under my belt.
I do just about the opposite of what you do.
I run a half an ounce of the Lost Coast plant therapy per gallon.
Then I spray about every 3 days during this time of year.
I just started I guess about two weeks ago with my first applications when I first seen it out to the farm. The farmer gets P.M. pretty easily out there.
I practice my IPM. Like this.
I spray after heavy dues and after heavy rains Or any rain. Because that little bit of rain washes off the essential oils pretty easily.
So I may spray more frequently. But I can I never suffocate my plants leaves. I'd rather give them a light dose more often than a heavy dose once in awhile. Or once a week.
It also helps me to keep up on what's going on with my girls because as I'm spraying and I'm always scanning and looking them over really well. Looking for nutrition deficiencies bugs you know everything. Being 100% organic knowing what's going on with your plants early is key.
Also the girls like the little shower of water they get with that light spray...
I also like using potassium bicarbonate as that is definite mold killer. A light dose of that leaves a nice little powdery residue on the leaves and buds which is really great at killing that powdery mildew and other molds it kills like 150 molds and mildews. And it doesn't kill your predator insects that kill the nasty sapsuckers that get on your plant. So if you're super organic that would really be the way to go. But it's a pain in the ass cuz you really got to spray that a lot and if you mix up your batch wrong (too heavy), if you don't know what you're doing anyways with potassium carbonate it can burn your plants pretty well.
We're going through this at the farm right now with a new guy that mixed his batch wrong using green cure that has 85% potassium carbonate in it he made it too strong and didn't shake the sprayer frequently and basically not shaking it left a lot in the in the bottom of the sprayer so when he got down to the last couple of plants use of that sprayer all that came out the end of the sprayer and that killed one of the small plants in the back of the garden.
It may be dead not sure but it's pretty damn well burnt. The other day.
It is what it is though...
He didn't know and now he's been educated at the cost of at least the smallest plant in the garden... Also the potassium carbonate kind of burnt some of the other plants a little bit here and there. It's nothing serious thank goodness. But nevertheless he's definitely on the education tip now...
And I'm sure he'll be shaking and mixing properly from now on.
