Powdery Mildew?

First time growing in my veggie garden. Buds look thick and healthy, almost ready to harvest but upon reading on the web, I’m worried I have a case of powdery mildew.
It appears to be mostly on all the top leaves and not the bottom like usual. Anything I can do to save my plants before harvest or am I out of luck?

You should separate your plants so they all dont get hit while you treat. Indoor or out, if in you must clean the inside of the tent and the plant. They have sprays you can use "bud" safe or you could pain stakingly wipe you leaves. Look under the leaf how does it look there? Is the area to moist or just bad clones that you got.

Appreciate the feedback. I’ve attached some better pictures. Looks like it worse on some colas than others but now I’m looking to closely and can’t tell between trichomes and PM. They’re ready to harvest, so do I harvest what’s clean now and treat the ones affected? I’d hate to waste the crop but I also don’t want anything that’s unhealthy. I’ve also heard of washing the bud in H2O2 solution before drying, but will that effectively kill all the mildew? Let me know your thoughts.
I also checked under the leaves, doesn’t seem super moist, like I said it’s mostly in all my top leaves, which seems strange since it usually starts from bottom up. Could be shitty clones but they should be getting enough air outdoors.

That is NOT tri production def mold. Since you say they are ready pull what's clean now and treat the others. That way you will get something from the harvest. Ps when done sterilize ALL of you equipment including scissors between cutting buds as well as the pots it you are going to use those again. You said the flower is ready to harvest the hairs look a little young still. Are your trichs cloudy/amber or still clear. Look at a clean bud so you dont get confused.

So upon takin a closer look a see a trace amount of PM on all the plants... here’s some close ups of the bud and let me know what you think. Maybe I should just treat it all and hope for the best? What’s the most effective way of treating this late in the grow?

I have washed before and found that it also kinda fried my flowers. Perhaps my mix was too strong. Lots of people claim to do it even when they don't have pm. it should remove most of the pm. personally i would them extract to make hash. All will not be lost. Good luck.
p.s some of those flowers still look like they should be left a while.

Agreed with DST for sure! Check Piegons 420 on YouTube for washing. Looks like you have another week or so left. Again you can hand wipe some of the leaves with minimal mold. Do top and underside of the leaves, just cuz you dont see anything under..... yanni! I personally did that one yr. Was shitty but save her.

I will definitely give them another week or so and try and save them! Thanks for all the feed back!
Can I spray them with anything to help? Like baking sofa, milk or h202... or is it too late?
Thanks again!

Never tried the milk thing, but look for greencure.

I don't think I'd like spraying straight milk on my plants, but you can also make BT with milk I believe which can save an outdoor crop from catapillars. I had serious mold on the trunk of one of my outdoor plants. I soaked a load of paper towels in milk and wrapped that around the moldy stem. No more mold growth on the stem. I was amazed it worked actually.

I think it would have worked with any beneficial fungi or bacteria mix. Even a compost tea.

I think ...... But might be wrong. You basically overcrowd the space with differenct species and the bad shit you want fight ends up losing because they have more beneficials competing for food and realestate on your plant,, and so on.

Its the logic behind innoculating your resevoir wiyh beneficial bacteria.

Tbey might not do a hell of a lot in hydro, but their not bad for plants and they take up space and food that would normally be free range for bad shit like root rot and algaes, slimes.
