Hey guys I'm new to the forum and also growing. I have my first plant (outdoor) a few weeks from harvest and I've been battling PM. So in the past week and a half I've been doing the milk/water spray about 4-5 times but I had some questions....Is that the best method to wipe it out or would the h202/water mix be better to use? Also I imagine even if it's killing it how long does it take for it to not be visible anymore? I was also told by a friend to use neem oil but I've read a bunch of conflicting info. Some say you can do it up to 3 weeks before harvest and some say don't use at all in flower and if you do it will burn the hairs off and you will be able to taste it and will be harsh. Can anyone please offer some advice and help with these questions? I'd greatly appreciate it! Also can you guys look at some pics and tell me if that is PM or just trichs on the leaves?? Seems hard to tell the difference to me. View attachment 2299356View attachment 2299358View attachment 2299359I can take some better pics during the day tomorrow. Thanks guys!

Hey, yeah I don’t really see what’s wrong with your buds there unless you posting pictures of parts of the plant that are not affected by the white powder mildew? I don’t think anyone should ever spray milk on their stuff, but I know there’s a few people here who swear by it it’s just not something that I would ever risk doing, but I would agree that probably doing a butt wash. Post harvest would be a smart thing to do.

They are flowering do not use chemicals.

Wipe the leaves off with a wet rag and increase air flow.

It removes WPM and any other contamination, but doesn't hurt the trichromes or terps if done right. A lot of outside growers do it to remove dirt, debree, dead insects and other contaminates that the buds collect from the wind or WPM.
