Maui Wowie

Late last week I discovered that some mildew flourished from a cutting that was gifted to me. Sadly this Maui plant ended up with quite a contamination, along with everything else. ...So I started spraying down all the plants with water that has neem oil and eventually added potassium bicarbonate to the mix. I'm only keeping the plant for the seeds on some of the lower branches (shockwave F2 pollen). The tall cola seems clean on the tip ("just the tip?" XD ). I think most of the buds will either be tossed or used for bubble hash to see if that comes out clean for personal use. I did stop using Mammoth P and Canna Boost since I'm basically writing off the plant as a loss. The mildew seems under control due the potassium bicarbonate. It sucks they had to be sprayed this late in flower, so I'm hesitant about consuming the buds with some neem/PB residue, and hopefully no WPM spores. There should be about 6 weeks left, so it's hard to know IMO. Any harvested buds will be scoped quite a bit to check for anything funky. On a positive note, I'm really happy with the strain. As you can see, the buds are HUGE. I've also learned a ton about WPM over the last week. NEVER accept cuttings from anyone if you don't have a quarantined area and if they have WPM. It's not as easy to get rid of as I thought (with neem oil anyway...PB and a sulpher burner would probably kill it quick). If I was in a sealed room I'd grab a sulpher burner and keep up with PB spraying. Neem would mostly be used on veg and early bloom plants. I'll keep up with PB spraying for now.
