first I would look at WHY you got it and how to keep it from coming back. Then you can treat it with something like green cleaner or nuke em

Honestly, that's how I normally feel as well, but lately, watching all of these newbs come in here claiming expert status after watching a couple of Youtube videos recommended by Google, I'm becoming much more forgiving, as some of the quality new people have tried searching, and were overwhelmed with the amount of pure shit advice being peddled.

I'd sooner someone come here after doing some basic research and ask away, as opposed to pouring bleach on their plants or some other asinine "solution" found within the Google umbrella.

I guess there's crap advice everywhere, that is why I try and steer noob growers away from here.

They're not able to cut through all the people who have no idea what they're talking about. :p

In Canada we have this: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07R1X8XHD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_.u--EbR33D49M
It is a mix of citric acid and lactic acid (citrus and milk) that you can spray at any time in the grow cycle. Look for something similar to this if you are not in Canada or see if it will ship to you.

I used it for my outdoor grow last fall because the weather sucked and was cold and wet (canada). Every plant had a ton of spots of powdery mildew. Some leaves were totally covered.

I took off the oldest and worst infected leaves and threw them away (don't just leave them near your plants or it will just get it again fast). I sprayed this at 8% concentration, tops and bottoms of leaves and buds. Got rid of everything first shot.

I kept watch and saw a couple spots a couple of weeks later (weather was still crap), so I just resprayed them again and it was gone. No more problems until harvest.

As for your brown buds, make sure to spray at night or in the dark cycle so the water doesn't act like a lens and burn your buds.

Either that, or you got bud rot from too much moisture on the bud. Shame. Dead buds are the saddest thing.

Oh ya, and do a proper "bud wash" at harvest. You will not be sorry, difference between regular weed and premium smoke.

Happy Growing
