can anyone give me tips on getting rid of PM during g flower growing outdoor ive tried apple cider vinegar 2tsp and a quart of water didn't seem to work and was also told 3:1 ratio but that seems to strong i tried it on couple leafs it seemed to work but is it bad to spray on the buds? I've tried white wash which works but its so expensive and need to spray it everyday any other tips?

I sprayed potassium bicarbonate on my last remaining plant today outside. Raining out now. How often can you spray it on plants?

just found this, may be of use A silica spray might work for you, Dont ph it down or anything like that, you want that high ph to kill the pm

yinegar is an acid, you want a base to get rid of it
You can use either a base or an acid. Both a high and low pH can kill PM. The reason that most use a base with a higher pH is because it's much easier to burn your plants using an acid. But vinegar has been used for years to control PM. The acetic acid is what kills the PM.

I've been spraying a potassium silicate solution in my garden and outdoor cannabis plant with great success. It's kept it off my vegetables and roses which always get hit hard this time of year. It's had no ill effect on my cannabis which shows no signs of PM.
