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.

what kind of mold??? WPM? or mold in the soil? or mold in the buds?? WPM, no, toss out the buds that are affected. mold in soil. can use peroxide but it will be back and you not consuming the soil so does not matter Mold in the buds. also no. have to toss them out. The mold breaks it down and rots it. even if you kill the mold the damage is done, and the spores are everywhere, they also are a bad thing especially if your consuming them, eating or smoking. long term exposure is linked to many ill health affects, COPD, Asthma, GI issues, list goes on.

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).
