I hate to say it but no they don't look healthy. It's possible to fix but the spoars are really invested in your plants and are heavily on the buds. Google how to fix. But I don't think it's gonna work out this late. I could be wrong tho.

Route I tried an H2O2 wash with poor results. 1 cup h2o2 per 5 gallons of water is not enough.
You can kill powdery mildew by raising the temperature to over 100 F. This does not kill the spores. I baked my harvest at 150 F for an hour.
Dr Zymes Eliminator claims to kill and dissolve both pm and spores. I've got a bottle but haven't tried it yet.

I guess if you are that desperate; I would just text a friend or hit the dispensary (two are in walking distance from my house). You also face the dilemma of cutting now and getting very little or waiting and letting the PM consume it. That would be headed for the yard waste bin for the same reason I don't eat rancid moldy food.

Thanks for your reply with the eliminator do you spray it on or bath them ?

I'm not desperate and I also like in the UK, so no dispensary for me unfortunately I normally grow in my basement in a tent and never had problems before but I thought I would give growing outside a go. I don't eat moldy food as well but these buds still have a nice smell to them, I have been spraying them with vinegar and water every other day and it has been reducing the PM

Unfortunately Eliminator is only available in some parts of the USA, I'm in Canada and had it drop shipped from a site in the US.
You spray it on during veg/flower and can make a bath like Jorge's to soak the buds after harvest.

Pic 3 def looks like powdery mildew. I had it on one plant, I used 2 teaspoons organic apple cider vinegar to 1 qt water, fine mist, soak everything. Works amazing. And you probably wanna do an h202 wash after you harvest. 1 cup peroxide per 5 gallons of water.
I definitely get the sentiment. But odds are you've consumed countless amounts of food that were previously covered in PM. Powdery Mildew is no equivalent to rancid moldy food.

Hi
We can get in the UK, there was some on ebay, so does it work better than hydrogen peroxide?

Ive heard Oxidate makes a great wash as well. Just so you know, I smoked some moldy bud and developed a serious bacteria in my chest which involved surgery and them removing a piece of my rib. The scar looks like a sword was stuck into my chest. It was months of hell, dont smoke anything molded, washed or not, its not worth it.

The important thing about removing or eradicating powdery mildew is to change the acidic level. Everybody has their own method, for me, its organic apple cider vinegar, for others, differnt methods. You need to find what works for you.

Sorry for sounding disrespectful but I just can't get past the fur all over that cannabis and it is not safe to suck that into your lungs. PM at that level has become systematic and you will never be rid of it no matter how much you spray.
