Yea, this is my present plan of action.
Powdery Mildew doesn't usually affect healthy plants..have you been giving them bloom nutes? Because plants that are lacking in potassium are also more susceptible...I have had PM on a few clones here and there because of the humidity, but once they lose the dome they lose the mildew as well...

alrighty buddy i had the same thing on actually only a single clone. but all over the main stock arround the medium had the mildew. its heavily reduced in moisture as faras mildew goes its tdry.
but the base of my stock for like 2 weeks still has the white shit on it. its dry but its still there, i can sub you a pic if you want.

I planted a Peach tree in the back yard last month then noticed pm on one of the leaves, sprayed w/SaferGro mildew cure, seemed to take care of it. I'm sure I probably brought the spores inside at some point, and 3 days ago we had a refinery fire and everyone was advised to close all windows, tape doors, ect.... anyways the temps in the tent went up about 7 degrees for about 6 hours and I think this may have triggered the bloom.
They have just finished the last of the H&G shooting powder. waiting on flush.

The only time I got pm was when I kept turning my oscilating fan off at night so I didn't have to listen to it. It wasn't that visible, but when I pulled a nug off a branch when I was trimming I saw what looked like baby powder go flying into the air. One of my worsts harvests ever. I have some firestarters going right now that are at week 3-4 and are frosty as hell.

I would chop the red diesel, to help prevent the sd's from being contaminated.

Cut off any parts with the pm when you go to hang them.
That won't prevent the other plants from getting it. If a plant has it in the room it's only a matter of time before the other plants get it. I would just spray with potassium bi carbonate weekly from now on and finish out your plants if you spray preventatives on new plants and the other plants it should die off as those plants harvest up and new plants are introduced provided you spray them with preventative measures.

Well it sounds like you got all the answers to your own question so I don't know why you asked?

I like smoking weed, not chemical sprays. I've never sprayed anything on my plants once their in flower and like I said, the only time I got pm was from turning my fan off. So spray away enjoy the chems err I mean preventative measures.

Lol one I'm not the original poster.... And two. You obviously don't now your sprays. Pm is systemic meaning you can rip all the leafs off you want, but that plant will show pm as soon as conditions allow pm to thrive again. So pluck and pull away silly man

I'm not arguing that you're right, like I said I only had it one time so it's not a subject I know a lot of. I have read about it but I did forget that it is systemic. After you chop it would it not help to remove the affected parts?

lol sorry I even went back to check if you were the person that asked that but I guess since your avatars are similar it made me think you're the same people.

you are right its not a bad idea to dispose of infected leafs but that solely will not get rid of pm. potassium bi carbonate just raises the ph levels on the leaf surfaces and prevents pm from growing there, so if you pluck infected leafs and spray the bi-carb on the other plants it should prevent the pm from spreading any further. i recently had a little flash of pm and took care of it just like that. some of the infected plants are still in the flower room with no signs of pm in weeks i just spray once a week. and iv tested bi-card the day before harvest before and there was zero ill effects, meaning no headaches, no crackling, no harsh taste, no odd smell, absolutely nothing at all. it has zero smell is pretty much the only thing i feel safe spraying near harvest

That's good to know I'll keep that in mind for if it ever comes back.

I suppose even for people like myself that are concerned about sprays it is better to have weed to cook with as edibles, than no weed at all.


Thanks

I'll tell ya what though, and I'll wait until harvest before I give real praise, it's difficult as fuck to grow and finish a plant in a one gallon container under the big California sun with no nutes. You're fighting potential root binding and under watering every single day.
who grows outdoors in 1 galon buckets? who grows indoors with 1 gallon buckets lol who are you talking about? and potental root bind rofl for shure root bind in a 1 gal bucket
