Nearing harvest.... Pics

About to harvest 4 purple kush, 4 querkle, 5 candy siva and 5 jack the ripper. Ive got a little bit of powdery mildew, mostly on fan leaves some on smaller leaves. Wondering what people who have dealt with powdery mildew before would suggest in terms of drying them. I normally hang to dry with all leaves on (slower dry, i think tastes better but whatever). Would removing all leaves at the time of hanging prevent the powdery mildew from spreading? I have a dehumidifier running in the grow room and was spraying with diluted milk, but stopped because im so close to harvest. Its not really bad, doesnt even compare to what ive seen online and in books. I had one freind say he wouldnt do anything different and that he has had much worse, and another friend say remove all leaves cause it spreads at drying. What do you think?

very nice garden! how many lights do you run!? 4kinds of weed,you will have 4 harvests! all different time!

Yo nice garden i would also reccomend removing the leaves off you can't do any damage with it only solve the problem.Keep it green ;=)

hey man not sure what the answer is to your question is but thats a nice grow man , what lights do you run

Removing the leaves will certainly lower your chances of having it spread to the buds. I also would recommend good ventilation during drying.

awesome grow dude how many lights are you running amd what wattage cheers

I'd trim it up nice and close like a french cut bikini requires

Thanks for the input ... I run 2 1000 watt lamps, grow in 7.9 gallon pots with ocean forest soil (mix in bone meal), use Earth Juice nutrients, mychorrizae(sp?). This is my first indoor grow, damn mildew was the only hitch but i guess it could have gotten much worse...pretty sure the mildew came with the clones. I think i will trim away the leaf prior to drying and will definitely have some good circulation in my dry room. Anyone else got some input who has dealt with mildew? thanks
