I've taken care of powdery mildew after harvest by giving it a bath in water and peroxide and then shaking it off then drying.

I was thinking if it go out of hand I would jus turn it al into wax, knd of breaks my heat to do that but It would store longer I would think (witch is what I need) and it would kill ay PM spores im sure ... but its not going to get to that point :) and as long as I keep up on the PH water spray, in theory the PM shouldn't be able to grow, or sprad cuz I cut the very few branches off ( if a leaf had it, the whole branch came down ) ten total

Instead of turning too concentrates if you get pm, just wash the buds under a tap running warm water and gently rub the buds, shower head works best for cleaning buds

everythig is looking good, no signs of PM , i have been spraying with some PH water you find at whole foods every 3 days about 30 mins before the light turns on, i also let the temp ramp up to about 100 and held for about 2 hours and back down to 70.... its been 3 days and no signs in the whole room

the ramp up to 100 didnt mess with the plants to much either, they are still lookn great doing their breathing regularly ( all fans point up twords light and then start to lay flat and then I water and they are back pointing up, ive noticed on plants with issues they do not always do that after a watering so seeing that leads me to believe that the few hours of hot temp wasnt to stressfull on em

Following, keep it updated we are curious. Good luck too, PM was always the worst thing in the garden with exception to some TMV weirdness. Rooting for your girls to pull through!!

sorry havnt gotten around to uploading photos of the original PM spot yet, i dropped the ball since everything was looking pretty good and the PM is back still only on the fan leaves that are starting to purple and yellow so i went to town last night pulling all thoes leaves off and spraying with the PH water, im in week 6 and hopefully i make it to finish..

im thinking ill start spraying the PH water everyday and aslong as it doesnt creep onto any of the main branches ill keep em going, they are looking really nice so far but im a little bummed about all this, im going to stop feeding incase ive gota pull em early... still no signs of it on any of the lower fluf buds, just the fans, and the fans that have it are still just spots, not covered like photos ive seen online

so an update for anyone who cares ... i did another temp ramp and hold at around 100 :/ and been on top of the ph water spray, i went through with a fine tooth comb and pulled every leave and even branchs ( only two) that had anything i even thought may be PM starting, this was about 5 days ago and no new spots nothing, the room looks as good as it should,

the ph water i think had a lot to do with that, it never really spread, only on the bottom, use for wax branches. i could of probably just took the leaves off of thoes but im not gna miss em and if it.prevented the spread then good

i dnt think ill have to pull early, i did notice the trics turni.g amber already and think it may be the water or the heat cuz usuialy i let em go 9 and im coming up on 8, could also be the heat not sure but it didnt effect growth all buds fillex out and are rock hard and i cant find a spot ... trimming is when it will really get the inspection

for anyone who is dealing with a very very mild case PM, id suggest the water and heat trick i used, it was a battle but i won. i do not know if it would work on a case where its more than a few spots, none of my leaves had more than a few quorter inch spots but worth a try, thanks everyone. ill be uploading some pics to show off a bit lol glad it came out how it did

Dont wanna get too happy with the water though. You'll go from PM to bud rot/mold quick with high temps & lots of water that late in flower.

thanx for the heads up, i know since the pm hasnt come back i dnt dnt plan on using it nemore, i know im gna flush one last time tonight and harvest this weekend .. def good point tho for anyone attempting to do the.same thing that i did.
i kind of worried about that the whole time too, i didnt consider bud rot but you would think water and heat would just spread and feed the PM, neway def good point

Im cruising through flower with 60 too 75% humidity, i rarely get pm and i grow in a closet with no exhaust fans, lucky me =))
Some strains only can catch PM from another plant but once they have contracted it they are also prone. The best response for PM is find a robust strain.

i was pretty suprized by it, it was not very bad to begin with and that got rid of it, i dropped the ball on using it for a week or so and it started to come back so i pulled all the leaves did another spray two days in a row and everythings lookn good

i read anything over 8 and i think thats why that milk trick works, but with using somethi.g that high there have not been any advese affects

and its nice using something that ur not affraid to drink, i coulda used neem or something like that cuz ive read that will coat and strangle it out but wasnt comfortable doing that ( i debated hand applying it so i didnt get it on nebuds) that woulda been atleast a couple day deal for me lol but if it was earlier that it woulda happend i woulda used the neem but tye first mini outbreak was at like week 4ish for me
