White powdery mildew in late flower

What's your best remedy to remove it on flowering plants? I just found it after I had forgotten to replace on of the fans when I left them for a few days. What can I do to remove it as quickly as possible without ruining the buds? I'd prefer not spraying them with milk.

I've had quite a bit of experience with WPM. Honestly unless its an outdoor plant, anything in store usually has sulphur which you dont want on your p)ants for smoking. (Outside rain can wash away) And anything natural, you can make at home. A tsp of baking soda per cup of water and just spray on leaves daily will PREVENT further growth by changing the surface pH on the leaves. Doesnt hurt, if the baking soda builds up, so just a water spray one day. Also do it when the lights just turn on so it will dry out. Any buds that have had their sugar leaves or deeper infected, i wouldnt reccommend smoking anymore. I use for edibles still though. If you have a bunch of WPM like that; I HIGHLY reccomend you use 1/4 cup milk and 3/4 cup water spray with the baking soda. Do this daily for a week. Milk is widely used by many gardeners as sunlight and fake sunlight will turn the milk proteins into a natural antiseptic and literally kills the WPM. Never noticed any change it taste or potency Your WPM probably started somewhere with less light and air flow. Once the WPM is under control, do what you can to fix this until the end of your grow to stop it from returning. Use LST to open that area up, or add a fan closer to there. Good luck!

I've been looking for Doctor Zymes, but I'm located in Spain, Europe, and I can't find it here. They don't ship overseas. Also, they were outdoor plants that I decided to take indoors a long time ago due to shitty weather. Now they have grown into the little space they've got, and they're not small plants which makes moving them difficult. It's impossible to reach all the leaves, especially on the rear plants that are crammed against a wall/window. I've also been suggested to spray them with cinnamon.

Thanks for your suggestions. It's much appreciated. I'll try to avoid using milk. I think the plants smell of sour milk afterwards. Also they're indoors in a corner in the living room without any tent walls, and I don't want sour milk on my walls and floor. I don't have any baking soda currently, but will spray them with H2O2 for now. I tried to wipe some leaves with moist paper towels, and I pluck some.

Personally, I would also cut off the affected leaves, trying to avoid touching any non affected areas.

You can always wash with peroxyde at around 1 part 3% solution to 4 part water. But nor_cal's product is better since it will prevent it from coming back. Peroxyde will wash it off but not prevent it from growing again. Its a good treatment to start till you get your hand on doctor zyme. .. enzyme will compete with the spors inside the leaf preventing them from growing and spreading. While peroxyde will only wash it off..

There is a product called The Amazing Doctor Zymes. Safe to use in flower and even as a bud wash. Works great vs PM. 🤘😤
