"SAFER" brand Garden Fungicide

Ever have a problem with that white mold build up that collects on your leaves? Tried to get it off only making it spread even worse? We all live and learn, especially in this trade.

There are a few options for white mildew also known as "powdery mildew". This sulfur-based product worked very well for me during one of my outdoor seasons after a period of rain. After baking in the California sunshine in dry conditions for so long, sometimes rain can work against you. This stuff knocked out the powdery mildew issue in a matter of days. Less than a week it was gone. I had it pretty bad because the wind was spreading it. Luckily it was during veg season so no flowering was going on for the mold to get stuck in.

It's totally safe and organic and it works great. I tried a few things that were recommended to me when I had this problem and after using different ones on different plants, this was the winner. Look for it at your garden store, they have many products so make sure you get the sulfur based fungicide spray.

DutchMaster's "Liquid Light" foliar spray

Surprisingly enough, I most certainly seen results after using Dutch Master's "Liquid Light". When I first heard of a foliar product that you spray on your plants making it able for them to absorb up to 30% more light, I thought "c'mon you gotta be kidding me". But I was quickly corrected by my hydro shop guy after he told me that it actually does work, and it's scientific formula is actually pretty damn "break through". My guy is pretty straight up with me about products so it's not often that I take home garbage. But trust me, if I use something that turns out to be garbage, I'll let you know.

It's a pretty simple 2-part formula that really does let your plants leaves absorb more light. Another good thing about it is that the "penetrator" bottle is really just a high-tech wetting agent, so I use it with other products I have that require wetting agents to help, such as neem oil concentrate.

I cant get into the science behind it, because I dont even fully understand it yet. But I know it works. And talking to other growers on the forums that have used it, they have all agreed. I have not met anyone that was disappointed with this stuff. Also, it's a foliar spray, so it's going to last you a long time. You only need to apply it 2-3 times a week. I noticed this product to be most effective during the vegetative phase of your plants. Here is DutchMaster's website.
