Hi, is there a non-toxic substance to treat mold-affected plants before harvest? Thanks.

Yes. I have 2 options for you. 1% H202 solution as a spray. To try and fix the mistake. Or, my advice would be to throw the plants in the trash can. Start over and control humidity better next run.

If you have mold then throw it away. Sometimes it may be a small part that's got mold. If so then remove the effective area. Do not smoke any mold buds as others have pointed out.

Yes, it's called a bin or trashcan depending on where you're from.

hey 👋 The affected parts absolutely have to be cut off and thrown away ; consuming them would put you at risk of lung conditions you really shouldn’t mess with. For the rest, the idea is to prevent the spread before harvest, so you need to lower the humidity, increase ventilation (after cutting away the rotten parts), and once the plant is nice and dry you can spray the leaves and stems with a baking-soda solution and possibly cinnamon (which makes the environment less favorable to molds and fungi).
