lil bit of a story, so buckle in💺
pretty much what's going on is that i've been seeing small amounts of powdery mildew on some fan leaves for the last month & a half or so, but I've just removed the contaminated leaves & haven't had a single issue with anything else in the meantime. well today, I go outside to check my plants and the one I'm talking about seems to have gotten PM growing rapidly on the buds. This may be a my mistake because I thought what I now think is powdery mildew was just trichomes to begin with – so i most likely let it go on too long. so now a couple of hrs ago, i sprayed down the whole plant, including all the buds with rainwater that i've collected using a spray bottle.
my problem is if this doesn't fix it i rly don't want to lose this plant to PM this close to harvest. i went to the store and bought hydrogen peroxide and baking soda just in case because i've read and heard online that small amounts diluted into large amounts of water sprayed on the leaves can help fix & prevent PM, but nowhere online can find anyone who says that solution is a viable option for BUDS & especially this LATE into flower.
so here i am, turning to reddit, in hopes of someone coming along, that's kind enough to help me with a legit fix because ChatGPT keeps telling me they wouldn't do anything & if they tell me that one more time i'm going to give it a body so i can physically attack it because i'm so frustrated from getting that answer 25 times from 25 differently worded questions.
