I thought my girls were coming along nicely, then I spotted one of the top buds with a bit of powdery mold, and used the advise on another tread and cut it out, yet, in only a couple of days, mold has appeared on two more plants I have to cut out one of my best buds :evil:. They are only 6 weeks into flowering and if I have to harvest early to avoid more mold, will they be any use?? I'm devastated, any advise for salvaging would be greatly appreciated!

I placed them in a sealed bag, try to vaccuum seal it, then put it in a freezer overnight. Then let it thaw out in a dark room, but not moist, or humid. Let it air out, then put it back in your jars...I was able to eliminate the mold, but freezing might've reduced the THC, or trichomes. Or since it was an early harvest, the effects was very minimal.

Is multirose, like liquid copper fungicide. I used this on my tomatoes when I had a spot of blight on them. Will the buds taste horrible if I use this or another spray?

its a fungicide and insecticide. you dont have to exclude kids or pets so i sort of thought it was ok :D.

it kills or controls black spot
mildew and rust
greenfly, blackfly and whitefly
catapillars
red spider mite and other mites.

it can only be used every 2 weeks. its in the UK

i dont know what the buds will taste like, i will have to let you know. i have tried to avoid the buds as it hasnt reached them yet. i think once the buds are affected its too late , dunno though

it smells like moth balls :D

going to have a look to see whats in it

In Ireland so they should have it here, was think if I could use something in my cupboard, I could get on the case asap, and I have liquid copper, do you think it would be okay to use this?

this is my first grow. i have a few outdoors but have only used it on a couple of plants. the health of the plants look good but i cant be certain what the buds will taste like. i have a week or so for the ones i brought indoors so i have a while for the spray to get out of the plant

everything is experimental so far

i struggled to find anything just for mold but as its safe around kids and pets.....................

Does peroxide work for mold. Like I've said I only have a couple spots(small). Should I spray it out of the bottle or should I diluted first?

i had the same problem. I harvested today actually. About two weeks ago my plant got about 1/4 covered in powdery mildew. i just cut off all the leaves and buds they had it. It got it a little back every few days, but i just kept it at bay until I harvested. it worked really well. but i noticed the bud pieces I kept they had to be cut off due to powdery miildew smelt a little musty, but i dont think it is bad for you to smoke.

I just got peroxide out of the chemist and diluted with water and used a mist sprayer on the plants. Don't know how it'll work but fingers crossed!

You need to use fans and dehumidifiers when they are in bud to help prevent mould:blsmoke:

I'm growing outdoors, and the rain and cold have come a bit quicker than I had hoped so they've been moved into a homemade greenhouse, but there is loads of ventilation, which should act as a fan? I just hope they won't all turn to mush! :?

I'm no expert but I read on another tread that it won't effect the buds, so here's hoping!
