you guys are selling mold-ridden buds to people, whether you "clean" them or not...invest in a sulfur burner.
First, learn how to break your stuff up into paragraphs. I skipped just about EVERYTHING to hit this. Guess what! I'm not going to help you win this argument, because I've done literally that--dunked my just-harvested plants in a mix of peroxide (OxiDate) to eliminate the fruiting bodies of PM. I've also used Greencure and can taste a soapy flavor, so my vote is for a peroxide.I need him to stop doing this but I dont wwant to cause a major argument. I want him to stop doing this--How bad is it to drench your harvested bud with hydrogen peroxide? I dont have all the answers but I figure if I tell him that I researched it online and asked other growers that maybe that might help. How bad is it to spray down our pot? am I over reacting? Please help me win my argument.
If it's in the plant tissues (systemic), then what's the functional difference between bud (or any plant material we may ingest) where PM is expressed via fruiting bodies, and where it's not? Would one still experience exposure?
Not arguing, considering the question again out loud. If you make a search via Google Scholar or similar, you will not be able to find any documentation discussing infection of humans by any PM fungi species. Or at least, I can't.
Ok, that article you're linking only discusses mildew, not powdery mildew. If you don't understand how different disease-causing organisms work, how they cannot simply infect EVERYTHING across all species *and* even kingdom lines, then there's not much I or anyone else can say. My question and 'challenge' to find papers that discuss direct pathological infection of humans of any powdery mildew fungi (not just any mildew, I would have thought that wouldn't require explanation, but apparently it does) then I want to read it and become more and better informed.Regardless of if PM can infect a human being, PM tastes bad and might be bad for you. So imo is a good enough reason to avoid it as we are trying to grow quality non containated(by PM or sprays) meds not PM spores. It can cause sinus infections and other things.

what you need to do bro is start a preventative maintenance program and invest some more $$$ in dialing in your grow op. any plant/strain that is weak for pm i try to toss. sometimes its easier said than done. you need to spend a lot more time researching pm. i believe its the #1 issue for MJ growers.
I've had to start dunking all my CLONES in eagle-20. its a systemic fungicide but should get rid of your pm issues. only thing is that it is very toxic and really should only be used on clones. Do much research before you get this though. you will need full body protection. Never use this product during any part of flowering.
and never bring an animal in your grow op.
So how do you deal with pm?
