Harvest after powdery mildew bout???????

[[email protected]]

Hi,
I'm 3 weeks away from my first indoor harvest.
I'm using soil and have had an ongoing battle with powdery mildew.
Neem oil and a dehumidifier have helped immensely but there are still traces of the mildew.
My fist question: how much longer can I use the neem?????
(I have not been spraying it into the buds - just onto the leaves)

How can I prevent the mildew from taking over after I harvest????
( a week of darkness could do a lot of dammage!)

What temperature should I dry it in given my concern about mildew?

Thank you all for your empowering support.

I can't imagine I would be willing to intentionally smoke a harvest that I know has at least traces of mildew on it which will worsen during curing. If you are not 100% certain it is all gone, you're probably going to get very sick

The only thing I could think of would be to freeze it for a few days, then dry....I don't know for sure, but a guy that used to live near me always froze his shit before drying..
I don't have any experience with mold (before harvest) ..Good luck man

I once had moldy buds from when I did an outdoor grow. One thing that always helps is to keep a fan going on the plant this keep the leaves from getting too damp(whether when drying or growing). If water sits in one spot long enough and some mold gets around it then all of the sudden you get probs. Also, not sure what your grow looks like but if you can pull the plants out and spray yours fans and room down with lysol you may be able to kill any mold spores that are growing in there. Other wise you are just moving the mold around in your grow room. At least get the fans cleaned and any dust that may be collecting on bulbs etc... Clean that crap up and harvest those buds. You can microwave the molding ones if your desparate.
