the reason why i think it is mildew, is this. powder first appeared on lower leaves, then plants were sprayed with copper sulfate. (week 3) at week 7 more "powder" appeared on leaves surrounding buds (by this time most fan leaves were discarded (purple stems) except for the leaves in the buds. week 7 they were sprayed with baking soda, ph 8 water (1 teaspoon per 4 litres water) but not "re-sprayed" with "rinse" just left in the light. week 8, 3 were harvested, after 2 days of "hang drying" powder again appeared on bottom of buds, and if "broken apart" it can be seen on stem, and some in between resin. the 3 harvested were white rhino. this may be "mis-diagnosed" however, the powder on the leaves i think got into the buds - hence im thinking that the buds are infected with powdery mildew. i wonder if the problem can be washed away, unless someone else has encountered this, and knows what the problem is (hopefully someon has, and there is a simple cure... - ya happy wishing)
hey seuss Reviewed by hey seuss on . Washing Buds ?? Howdy. is there a way to wash mildew(or baking soda, cant tell anymore) off of buds? im thinking maybe just before harvest, or slightly after then "blow drying"??? also, does powdery mildew or mold (white powder) get "stuck" to the "resin" making buds not salvageable??, or any other options other than destroying.
