Bud rot solution idea!

Well, it happen and after research it looks like I am not the only one who is facing bud rot. Except I am not ready to give up and trow everything away. After doing some extensive research, the same name is popping up and that is "Potassium permanganate". It has MANY uses, but what I am after is only one in this stage KILL the fu...g mold and it looks like it may work just fine. This is my idea that I am presently testing.
Cut the plants that have but rot, remove the any visible mold, then soak them in the bath of potassium permanganate for 15 minutes, then rinse them in clean water and hang them dry. Basically that should kill the any bacteria that the plant, scissors, hands, air got in contact with.

Potassium permanganate has many uses such as: purifying water, sterilizing wounds, mold on the feet, sterilizing aquarium with fish in it, plants mold, etc.

SO why not to use it on weed?
BTW: I did check with microscope trichomes on the buds before and after the treatment and they were exactly the same --- So is that a good solution to disinfect and prevent the mold spreading?

In the future I will be even more careful and I will also use BIO mold prevention, but now I have to just worry not to spread more as disinfecting the rest of the plants ....

Let's hear it........

Could be brilliant but I'm leaning towards careless and stupid. Nothing like experimenting on yourself and your friends.

Why not just cut out the bud rot and treat the surrounding material with a peroxide solution, cut and hang....problem solved. Early intervention is the key.

Maybe, but your comment is not that productive. Search first on G how it works and try to comment again with some smarter contribution.

YES, I was looking into that as well. It works for one , two plants , but when you start cutting, handling any contaminate plants I am trying the PP instead. Just as prevention and stop spreading.

Still waiting for any negative.............. (but logical)
