(This is an abridged version of a story that appears in the July issue of Marijuana Business Magazine.)
Microbials such as powdery mildew and mold can be devastating for a cannabis grow and lead to decimated plants, lost time and money and even total eradication of the crop.
There are steps vigilant growers can take, however, to ensure that microbials don’t overrun their cannabis plants.
“The best prevention is preventative,” said Mark Krytiuk, president of Toronto-based Nabis Holdings, a vertically integrated cannabis firm. “If you have a clean facility with good HVAC, you’re 95% there.”
Looking forward to learning more based on the experience of you guys.
Ive been told that 10% seawater solution will keep powdery mildew from growing. I just got a gallon from Pacific Ocean, will mix in a few drops of Trader Joes plant based liquid soap to help spread.
