RE: Tent Update: Battling With Powered Mildew

Did this pop up after adding the compost? Plants look great! May I suggest finding some organic barley straw, soaking it in fish hydrolysate and applying as a top cover? Maybe can try on one plant or not add the fish. I am sure it will all be fine though! Usually it is a ventilation issue and maybe in this case deleafing the bottom the plants and adding a fan/ air flow to under side of plants might be all it takes.
Anyways wait until you see the post from me later....

Dude they really did start to look great after I added the compost! I had a gnat issue, but that was an easy remedy. So you think the fish stuff would be ok this stage in flower? And damn that owe plants are going to be monsters! I bet your friend is super stoked you moved up there :)
Well, the Fish will encourage the beneficial fungi to take hold onto the barley and will select for the beneficial funguses while there is some cool chemistry with how the barley starts to suppress the bad fungus like mold and mildew. However, there is a caveat and that is if your ventilation is not proper the fish will help the mildew explode. It is really common for plants in this stage of flower to get mildew due to more water in the air from transpiration. So if the heavy humid air is not being controlled at 50%-70% than you can have problems depending on health of soil/plants. Lots of info on this regarding ponds and how the benifical fungus will digest the barley and hydrogen peroxide is produced as a result thus eliminating alge etc. A fun rabbit hole to dive into. The barley alone will probably be a safer bet and maybe try adding fish on next round.... Buildasoil has a great soy aminos hydrolysate or fish hydrolysate powder and can be foliar sprayed up to last 2 weeks of flower.
Yes, him and I make a great team! We work together well!
Very informative and educational. :)
