Should I even bother with drying, PM.

Hi,

First time grower, so be gentle, :). I grew 4 plants outdoors, the weather is turning here in Canada, so I've cut them down. I've fresh froze two plants, and I'm wondering if I should bother trying to dry/cure the next 2. I did a bud wash in Baking Soda > 0.18% H2O2 > Water rise. I have my doubts that all the PM came out while in the H2O2 soak, even though lots came out.

Does PM continue to grow even when the plant is curing? Because if this is the case, I think it may be better to fresh dry the bud. I'm planning to make bubble hash to further reduce the PM. Wanted to try 1/2 fresh-frozen, and the other 1/2 dry bud. But I just don't know if it will be a total waste attempting to dry the bud if the PM will continue to spread. I assume the freezer will stop the PM in its tracks. Any suggestions appreciated.

I know some folks through out weed with PM, could at least edibles be made from the bubble hash?

Fellow Southern Ontario grower here myself, and it has been a terrible year for WPM problem. As it is on all my plants outside and I’ve ripped up a couple chunks because of rot. I just harvested my first plant myself (Mango Sapphire) and did the H2O2/Baking Soda bath, water, water rinse. My water looked gross but the buds seem to smoke ok with no adverse reaction felt from it. I freeze dried my buds and jarred six 1L mason jars full with roughly 206g dried. I had the problem on some plants last year too and did the same type of wash. Buds came out fine and almost a full year later, still look good and smoke fine as well.
