Hi rotnran and welcome to forum

 

I regret to read that you are an alcoholic and a drug addict ... it is not good to abuse. However, it is good to abuse sex lol

At a personal opinion I always recommend using low energy bulbs (CFL) or LED light for the growing stage. In the flowering stage, we can keep LED or switch to Sodium Vapor, it offers very good results.

Here you can ask and learn everything you need, enjoy the forum.

regards

Rotnran,

 

Basically, once powdery mildew is on your plants, there is not much you can do to save that crop.

 

About the only thing you can do is to trash that crop and completely empty the grow tent or grow room.  Throw away ALL the soil that was there before, and buy new.  Finish throwing away all the infected materials BEFORE you start disinfecting the equipment that you want to keep.  Otherwise, your hands will re-infect all the cleaned items that you will be cleaning with Clorox.  Now, clean the walls, ceilings and floors with a strong Clorox bleach (twice) and then wash EVERYTHING (twice) with the strong Clorox bleach solution before it re-enters the area.  You have to think about the floors you are walking on, and the fact that you might be tracking the mildew back into the grow area with your shoes or sock feet or even bare feet.  That means the floor must also be disinfected.

 

Before you start again in the cleaned area, spray everything down with a solution of anti-fungus designed for fruit trees.  Then after you start up again, be sure to have that fruit-tree anti-fungus readily available for shooting down re-occurrences. 

 

PM is a really bad pest and it is very difficult to get rid of.  If it has infested your entire living area, it could be that you might even have to move away to another abode to get away from it.

 

Exhaust ventilation and keeping unwanted moisture out of the house is essential to prevent mildews of any nature.
