Thanks

It may have been there while the plants were growing, I've had mould before a couple of times that i can remember i just salvaged what i could and chuck the mouldy shit out you don't want it anywhere near the good bud

Could i cook or make resin or anything with it?

I'm not sure, actually would u really want to? just learn to grow smaller buds haha, i heard another member mention intake filters removing mould spores so i looked into them and sure enough there in fact intake filters or pre filters for grow rooms look them up mate

Chuck the bad stuff out and dip the rest

Hydrogen peroxide ...$10 @ chemist

Thats a great video. Wish id seen that earlier. I lost almost 2 plants to mould this year myself.

Thanks Cardrona. I could cry, over 5oz of the choicest from my best harvest. I think i put it in jars too early. Will try to salvage some and throw out the absolute worst affected.

Be patient before jaring ...used the moisture packs .. bovida?

Burp it

Shake the plants well after rain ..but do it anyway after harvest ...anything suspect toss.....

just because you can't see the spores doesnt mean they are not there ...especially when it's wet and humid

And then it won't 99% if it re appear in your jars....... long after you think it's gone

 

I was watching like a hawk and had to pull a couple early this year because of the rain but still even after dipping

....found some on a bud or two while drying....

You spend all the time and effort getting it to that stage ...

and it can go quicker than you can say mould.

You will have less trouble with sat's

Dont be afraid to just harvest the thicker... buds you feel you might loose and leave the rest...if it's early ......

 

You can use milk as a 1/10 spray

or

 

 

One home remedy is 2 teaspoons of organic apple cider vinegar mixed with one quart of water.

Mist this mixture onto your plants to both kill the powdery mildew growth and prevent any more from cropping up.

 

It can also be used preventatively before any powdery mildew arises at all.

Another option is to do the same thing with one-half teaspoon of baking soda mixed with a quart of water.

I have some boveda but was waiting till the gear was dry before pytting them in. Is that right?

My buds arent fresh they are about 3 weeks into drying.

After my discovery last night i put affected buds in a box much of the white mildew is no longer visible. I can only assume the spores are dead but remain intact.

Can i hydro peroxide wash in a mostly dry state?
