PM on soon to harvest buds. Greencure ok to use?

I noticed PM growing on some of my Chocolope. Seems to be persistent in the areas where trichs are densest making it really hard to tell whats frost and whats PM and its only sticking to the bud leaves. I had it early in flower just a couple tiny spots on a fan leaf or two and determined that my 6" air intake to closet was pointing toward that plant. Temps 62-75 humidity usually under 30% I recently added 1.5 gal humidifier to my bedroom because its so freaking dry. I'm thinking the moisture was just being pulled right out the room, over the plant and through the filter into the attic. Humidity isnt going up but I think just the moister air may be doing it as it seems to be an issue on THAT particular side of grow where intake is.

I read greencure can be used and knocks out and kills PM and other mold/mildew and they claim its safe to harvest a few hours after using but does anyone here have any experience using it?

close up pic here in a min have to upload from different device.

what has me worried is I am going to have to use that same humidifier at harvest to keep the girls from drying too fast and don't want to compound the issue.

hey fuck that stuff the real secret is to keep a layer inbetween your pots and your canopy and have airflow through that area and rise up through the leafs. an exhaust way high and an oscillating fan pretty much makes a channel of airflow that will make sure your buds dont mold. i dont think u should be getting mold at 30% because ive had a hard time getting mold in the summer with dew points which is 60%+ humidity

yes, intake comes from above closet door. Runs down to 3' above the ground on right side of closet. Filter/outtake is top left side of closet approx 7' in air and vents directly into attic. I also have a tower fan occilating

When you harvest, soak your cut branches in a h2o2 bath. (3 gallons to one cup of h2o2). Then wash them off really good. Use lukewarm water, nothing too cold. Hang the branches in front of a fan for a couple hours, then FINELY manicure. PM gone.

Hmm... this may actually help with my quick drying issues as well since the humidity is so low in the home right now.

i understand what you're saying about the moisture from the humidifier being pulled right over your plants now, I wasn't trying to be mean saying "fuck that" i just think that you might waste your money buying more products (as i have blown too much money on useless shit in the past).. so to solve the problem of very humid air being pulled straight into your growroom, try an oscillating fan inside your room next to the humidifier(which hopefully isnt pointed toward your intake) . this may help diffuse the moisture instead of it channeling straight to your closet

and by the by, ive only heard bad things about water curing. I'd just take the PM affected plant and make butter with it and call it a loss

Skim milk powder, Dilute it at a 10-1 water to milk ratio and apply it as a foliar spray. It changes the ph in such a way that it makes it impossible for powdery mildew to grow.

Same issues here. I wasn't home to dump the dehumidifier on a day that got really warm, causing the humidity in my house to go up. By the time I got home, I was running over 60%. Had some spots on fan leaves that eventually moved to the buds on another plant. My Pineapple Express is the only strain showing PM on buds. Quarantined the plant and drenched the buds with PM wash. Chopped a few days later. After hanging to dry, I could still see a bunch of PM so I put it into mason jars of water and shook them. Rinsed a couple times and put the buds right in the freezer. I made full melt bubble the next day and it is the best I've ever had.

But, now it's in my rooms. Lingering spores just waiting to explode.

Yea I got mold allergies bad too.... as soon as my shits dry and jarred i'm scrubbing down the grow with bleach, I moved the humidifier to downstairs.... i'll just deal with bloody noses at night. I may try a bubble hash if you guys think it will kill the mold spores. I didn't make dry ice hash with anything that even remotely looked like it had mold on it but now i'm sick. I can't tell if its the bug going around or my allergies from smokin the shit. :(
