Powdery Mildew after the Jorge Cervantes wash with H202

I have been reading a lot of threads for a couple of days now and cannot find concrete answers of what to do.

Here is my situation, I had a PM attack during my grow and was trying to combat it the whole time. I used multiple methods and thought I had it under control until I cut them down and started to really look into the colas.

I watched the Jorge Cervantes video on how to destroy the PM off of the harvested plant.

I did this three times to plants and still have PM on some of the leaves that need to be trimmed off anyways.

- Can I just trim deep into it and cut it off?
- Should I keep using this method until all traces of the PM are not present? (They are also pretty dry right now from using a fan to blow on them)
- Any advice/method from you is greatly appreciated!

I also know prevention is the real key and will not buy clones from a random person on craigs list :wall:

Here is a picture of what I'm dealing with.

Thanks and Happy :eyesmoke:

Found pm in my veg and flower last night I sprayed immediately with baking soda.I believe I found it on day one so I sprayed my headband (3 weeks flower) and misted some others at week 7 flower.I also sprayed the walls, fans, dehumidifier,A/C,carbon filter.I believe my pm was caused by my dehumidifier filling up for a few hours while I worked late.I cleaned everything I could think of; my garden usually takes 20 minutes a day it took 4 hours.pain in the ass.I'm lucky I caught it at the first sign and was available to treat it,but who knows if its stubborn I could lose my perpetual and the next three harvests! Always treat pm immediately.

low low low humidity will keep PM from growing. if you have the humidity anywhere from 30-40% you should see no growth of the shit. your dope will dry fast, and the PM will come back during curing if you dont use nitrogen, helium, or CO2 in your curing jars. (you have to evacuate the oxygen to prevent pm from growing by flooding your jar with the inert gas of your choice) UV light can also kill PM but it will destroy your THC and CBD as well making your delicious weed into useless grass.
