I really wish I would’ve got a start off my outdoor lavender bush before winter came because I really miss having fresh lavender around. Growing your own herbs is so rewarding and my new year’s resolution is going to be to add more herbs to my garden!

TJ,
You shouldn’t have anything to worry about. Many foliar sprays will cause an earlier color shift in your pistil’s than normally expected. This can be caused by many factors, a dramatic Ph shift or suffocation of the pistil itself are the usual reasons. Green Cure in particular is known to cause this pistil color shift in certain flowering plants, since it works by altering the Ph on your plants surface to something inhospitable to powdery mildew and other fungal infections.
Are you treating as a preventative or do you have a full blown Powdery Mildew infection? If you are very far along in flowering and don’t have a serious Powdery Mildew infection, I’d recommend not spraying at all if you are within 3 weeks of harvesting your plants. I’d just clip the leaves that are heavily infected and ride it out.
Usually your flowers will really dense up the last couple of weeks and added moisture from spraying in your grow room can get in your flowers and actually agitate a mild mold or mildew infection inside your dense flower formations. If you do have to spray, you might want to use small bags over your dense flowers to block your spray from getting inside the formations.
Another reason I am reluctant to spray right before harvesting is that it can really mess with the flavor of any consumable crop, like tomatoes…. Who want’s tomatoes that taste like baking soda?

Hey Lucie,
I recently foliar sprayed some flowers with a Product called Green Cure, and noticed that the flowers pistils changed colors almost overnight? Did I Just kill my flowers before I even had a chance to harvest them?
