PM starting, should I chop?

I've got PM starting to show up 6 weeks into flower. Most problematic is the soil which is in with six hydro.

I've purchased a dehumidifier to combat the issue, humidity stays around 40-45% now. I've got a box fan inside the tent. 1 plant looks close ready, need last couple weeks for the swell. The rest look like they need more time they are 8-9 week strains leanin towards 9. Temps are on 75 off 65.
Also been spraying the pm when lights out with h2o2 solution which seems to have helped.

Should I wait to see if the environment corrections stop it along with spraying, or chop?
Advice/constructive criticism much appreciated.! !

Get a sulphur vaporizer. You run it for 5 hours a night first three nights, once weekly after that (venting off, circulation fans on). That will get you thru the last few weeks. Use up to two days before harvest. Ignore myth about it making buds taste bad, those ppl haven't actually used it.

Fix humidity issues stay 45 - 55. too low is bad also.

your temps are also contributing to Powdery Mildew. PM can also be controlled with high temp, as PM will die in the mid 90s.

while lights are on, at least once a day let your temps climb into the low 90s, monitor your plants while doing so carefully to see how high of a temp your plants can tolerate. Depends a lot on how healthy your root system is and how much water + O2 is available for the roots.

I routinely let my temps peak into the mid/upper 80s as my hydro system has no problem supplying sufficient water for the plants.

never burn sulphur that late in flower. just don't even think about it. everyone has used sulphur at one point or another and doing it with 2-3 weeks to go is not part of the game plan. the best thing to do is find some type of fungicide that alloys u to keep spraying late in flower then when chopping do a hydrogen peroxide dunk and wash and hang dry. theres a video on u tube and it works. its a crop saver for sure.

H2O2 and fresh air + a breeze that is strong enough to shake the leaves and mabye smaller branches a little without making the plant sway. Also some uv light is supposed to help with fungus issues.

strong fan! it's probably good to chop if you have mold, it will only get worse. the inside of the buds (if you have large buds) real be super moldy if you can see visible mold on the outside - the inside will be worse.

combat PM with a strong fan and neem oil up to early bloom. after bloom, you can try SM-90 up to late in flowering as long as you remember to spray wash the flowers after and remember that strong fan to move all the buds like a moderate and constant breeze, almost strong wind will prevent mold.

Spraying never gets everything and adds humidity to the works. Sulfur Vaporizer gets all surfaces and adds no humidity.

What kind of store could I Pick one of those burners up at? If possible I'd rather not use one..the pm has just started and seems to have not been growing much, it's only on the leaves at this point...I'll make sure to elevate temperatures asap right now off temps are at 73 and rising.

I may just try out the burner though.. rather invest the coin now and have a prevention for future outbreaks. That wash definitely looks like something to try also.

all grammatical mistakes aside, i don't understand what you're saying.

the advice was to add a bunch of chemicals up until 2 days before harvest and then wash them in chemicals and let dry out. this is the exact type of issue that got me growing in the first place. i don't want that crap in my body, but to each their own.

and yeah, i might come off a little facetious when i say better luck, but that's my point. all of this is in our control. so control it.

The h2O2 solution has been working pretty all right for me...the issue really lies in the soil plant. It is the one who contracted the mold and then spread it. The plant closest to it has it on a few branches. Aside from that, all the rest have a couple spots on a leaf here and there nothing major. Guess I'll just continue to monitor and if it gets absurd just chop and recoup what I can. Thanks for those whom actually contributed. SnaFuu, next time just don't comment if you aren't providing positive input. Take your God complex elsewhere.

As long as you have a bit of PM here and there, spores are flying everywhere.
