powdery mildew

Does powdery mildew still progress after plants are cut and trimmed? In other words is the whole crop going to be ruined.

To ensure that is the case isolate the finsihed product as such. Buds with powdery mildew and ones with not. For me if I cannot manicure the powdery mildew out I end up throwing it away. It is bad to smoke product with mildew or mold for that matter.
