    Bring 1 litre water to just above lukewarm state , pour in mister , add ingresients , shake well , and every few seconds shake the bottle when you spray so oils can break down .

    Kills all that shit with one to two sprays at 3-4days interval . Neem is high in N and is an excellent anti fungal/bacterial .

    Hey Trex, long time brother, I've just ordered the essential oils & neem too. Thanks dude, will try the organic first then the chemical if it doesn't work. I'm in coco so am using chemical fertiliser anyway.

    The only issue I have with neem oil apart from the rank smell is that it blocks to stomata on the leaves which can hinder the plants transpiration...Try a little experiment...Rub some baby oil on the underside of one of your leaves, watch how the leaf droops. This is because the stomata is now blocked and cannot evaporate its water content, the leaf becomes engorged with the weight of the water which makes it droop...

    Regards BL

    OK gents, little update. I sprayed the fuckers with Rose clear ultra, seems to have done a good job of keeping it controlled. My friend has put me onto a product called UVC clean lights, worked a treat for him, 10 days & not a single bit of PM to be seen, even the affected leaves are clean again. Kills bugs too, only problem is that it's harmful to the skin. You have to wear protective gear to operate the light. £100 on the bay

    Pm works in a cellular levell, from the time you seen that much mate the spores are everywhere.
    You need to keep changing the surface ph of the leaves and work on building the plants sar, I’ve beat pm before but I was told to remove the lot,
    You don’t want massive changes in your humidity between on off light cycles this makes it worse.
    Trichoderma and there’s bacillus strains that work to and bovaria comes mind which is a fungal spray to I believe
    And of course my favourite NEEM.
    Just change it up Loki and get plenty silica in the lady’s foliar and soil drench mate
