Fungus and Disease Control

Marijuana Horticulture

by Jorge Cervantes

Prevent fungus by controlling all the factors contributing t its growth: remove hiding places, keep room clean, lower humidity to 50 percent, and keep the air well circulated. If prevention proves inadequate and fungi appear, advanced control measures are necessary. Carefully remove and destroy dead eaves. Wash your hands after handling diseased foliage.

If the problem attacks one or a few pants, isolate and treat them separately. Remember, fungi can spread like wildfire if the conditions are right. If they get a good start even after all the preventive measures are taken, do not hesitate to take extreme control methods including spraying the entire garden with the proper fungicide.
