Hi guys I am harvesting today and was clipping the fan leaves off and hanging individual branches from a close line in my curing room and noticed some white powdery mildew on some of the buds and leaves.. I have already harvested and hung them so is there anything I can spray on them to make sure they cure right without mildew taking over the whole thing? I know you can spray baking soda on them during the grow but what about after harvest? I do have a dehumidifer I can put in there to dry them up if I spray them..... What say you?

Cut it off and isolate it away from the other stuff. Hopefully someone else chimes in. Don't do what I said until someone confirms.

That sucks man!!! I would be making concentrate myself but realize that's not for everyone :). I wonder if a H2O2 bath would kill the bacteria?

OP: Look into budwashing H2O2 bath MAY do the trick.

People put baking soda and peroxide (i think) into one of their parts of the bud washing

How many days have you been drying

I gave it a h202 bath and let it soak for 15 minutes then rinsed it off and shook it off good and hung it to dry with fan blowing on it and dehumidifier set on 50 so the water should dry up in an hour or two.. Hope all is good. At least it's not mold.
