Im in my 6th week of flower and The 2nd day of flush. Idetected pm in the 3rd wk and have been fairly successful keeping it in check with a baking soda mix spray. Now Im in flush and stopped all sprays. In the last week the pm has worsened and no longer just on leaves found some in bud. My Question; Will pm turn into gray mold and ruin my buds during drying and is there something else I can do to save my buds?? Thanx Max:sad:

i don't think pm can change to another type of fungus. it could weaken the environment and encourage other fungus problems. plus you don't wanna smoke that shit. while i've never used this cure myself, my friends ran into a really bad pm issue that went up until harvest. one of them swears by a mixture of 1 part milk to 10 parts water. he said it kills the mildew efficiently without effecting the final product much. were you to use this approach i would recommend using extreme caution in ensuring a clean and dry drying environment so that your wet clipped buds don't mold.

I had a problem like that a few years ago, it sucks. When I saw it it was too late like yourself. I thought it was over, But I started cutting leaves & infected buds off and let them keep going til ready, then flushed for 3 days . Then trimmed them super tight, then hung them. And then went over them again. And put them in Grocey paper bags, half full, and tumpled them until the where cured, & ready to place in turkey bags. They hardly had any trace of powdery mildew and turn out ,to my surpise great. Just make sure when they r hanging in the dark that the humidity stays lower like 45-55. Good luck & Let me know how it goes. I feel ya Bro.
