Just letting guys know about my experience with milk to assist with powdery mildew. 

I have been apprehensive about using milk on my plants... Because geez, milk stinks when it goes funky and who likes that!? 

But I needed to do something about my PM issues. So I tried the whole milk thing. 

Bought a litre of PnP full cream milk... Diluted it about 40/60 in water... It would have been 50/50 but I drank alil milk

I have a 2l garden sprayer that I bought at builders for 99 bucks... This thing is a life changer haha. 

And so I commenced my spraying... Everything got a good spray... Under and on top of the leaves and surrounding area.. 

And I still had about a litre left so I went around the garden and sprayed any areas iv had issues with before... 

It stank my grow up... Was pretty disgusting... But I let it go... 

White leaves, dripping with milk... I just left it... I was like... Guys say this works... So let me give it a chance... 

Today I go in and check what's up.. To find no powdery mildew (I need to keep an eye open for any new spots) and not only was my grow free of PM, they were praying at an angle I haven't seen in a while .. And no smelly milk! 

I must note.. That I'm running hydro systems... And some of the milk did leak into the res... Only one of them.. And those plants are praying the hardest... 

I will be monitoring my res for the next few days to see how things turn out... Who knows... Maybe I add a ml or 2 at each res.. Lol but more research needs to happen. 

So if you have been putting off a milk spray... Here's my testimony to something that worked

So glad this works thanks for the info!

@Oolong83 howsit I think 25cm is low but it also depends if the light is running at full strength I'm using a bloombeast a900 and keeping it 70cm above the canopy with seedling and veg switches at full strength 

Awesome thanks
