Powdery mildew is one of the most common and frustrating plant diseases, capable of spreading quickly and reducing yields if left untreated. Recognising how it develops—and how to stop it—is key to protecting your grow room.
Powdery mildew thrives in warm, humid environments with poor airflow and overcrowded plants. Overwatering, excessive humidity, or introducing contaminated tools or infected plants can quickly trigger an outbreak. Once spores are present, they spread fast across leaves, stems, and flowers.
Powdery Mildew Prevention & Treatment
To fight back, we proudly feature ProGuard by Innovative Solutions. Using advanced Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO) technology, ProGuard employs UV light energy to activate a catalyst, converting moisture into dry hydrogen peroxide and other sanitising elements. This continuously cleans the air and surfaces in your grow room 24/7—helping prevent outbreaks and keeping your plants resilient.
Alongside ProGuard, our collection includes:
Fungicides: Target existing mildew and protect leaves from further infection.
What causes powdery mildew?
High humidity, poor airflow, and overcrowding are the most common causes. Spores can also spread from contaminated tools or nearby plants.
Is powdery mildew harmful to plants?
Yes—while rarely fatal on its own, it weakens plants, reduces photosynthesis, and leads to lower yields if untreated.
Can I prevent powdery mildew completely?
With the right setup—good airflow, stable humidity, regular cleaning, and preventive products like ProGuard—you can minimise the risk dramatically.
Do I need to treat every plant?
Yes—spores spread fast. Even if only a few leaves are affected, treat the whole grow space to stop further outbreaks.
