Hello,

I’m in my last couple weeks until harvest, and towards the bottom of my plant is showing signs of PM, I’m about a week to two weeks out from harvest. Will spraying Safer Brand Garden Fungicide affect the bud quality? It states good to spray up until harvest. But I’d like to know anyone else’s experience using the spray and dealing with PM late in the flower stage.

Thanks in advance!!

I have used he same product in the same situation and it does make bud taste a little gross and isn't very healthy.

I will never do that again.

If I had on that late I would either chop early...

Or spray with hydrogen peroxide every day and still pull it a bit early

Then this part is important....

Make a diluted solution of h2o2 in a 5 gal bucket and then just dunk and soak your harvested, trimmed buds. After each branch has soaked for about 30 sec, remove and rinse with straight water. Room temperature, never cold or hot.

This kills the on spores on your buds. The microscopic ones that you can't see.

If you don't do this, the mildew will survive on your curing bud!

Left untreated, you will lose it all.

It may sound strange, but is totally safe and widely recommend.

Google for proof and tutorials.

I have used this method a few times when I was first starting out, before I had an integrated pest management system in place. (Preemptive spraying etc)

It actually improves he scent of the buds a lot.

Good luck


PS don't forget to treat anything else you may have in veg or a different room.

PM spreads to everything extremely quickly.

Once you see it on leaves, it's already everywhere!

Wow thank you very much for the detailed response, I’ll pull the plant by Tuesday, just to make sure I have 30 other seedlings in a separate room do you believe there’s spores already on those and would the spray be fine to use in that situation?

You're welcome!

I wished I had some insight when I had that problem.

I'm sure there are a few spores everywhere that you have gone in your house and even some on your clothes probably.

It takes repitition to get rid of it but your seedlings should be fine as long as you avoid extra stress and spray them for a few weeks before flowering them. On veg plants I use neem oil for preventing mold, mildew, and mites! Works like a charm when used once a week.

Catching PM is kinda like getting a flu, to your plants.

The healthier they are, the less likely they will become affected by disease or pests.

Long story short, just keep on top of preventative measures from here on out.

It's part of any successful grow!
