So I got it, right at the last week of harvest. Indoor grow.
I noticed it only on 1 plant last week, I took that plant out the tent and cut off the noticeable bits. Then started drying it.
Harvested the last 2 plants in the tent today and saw a few leaves right near the buds with more, aaaaaaargh.
Will it get worse as I try dry it? I've cut out where I can see it, but I'm sure you never get it all, then it just comes back anyway and worse while it dries in a dark room.
Should I just try freeze it now and make bubble hash?
Or is it mildew not worth the risk and toss the lot?

So close to the finish line!!!!

I made bubblehash out of moldy buds once it was awful and I swear I could taste the mold.

I have heard others say they used different methods & it was good @Gnick

Think it was to do with washing the buds with peroxide.

It will not spread as the plant dries, it only grows on living tissues. If it was really only on a couple leaves, I wouldn't worry about it. With a scope you can see it on the buds. I was told a peroxide bud wash will kill any active spores but I haven't done it myself.The main concern is fixing the environmental problem. Look into a sulfar burner to kill any spores in your area. Invest in a dehumidifier to keep you humidity 60 or below. Make your your checking your humidity during lights off, that's when it skyrockets.
