I want to say it won't matter, but I'm not gonna give you any money back guarantee. it could be worth a try on some smaller guys and see, my only concern is if you dont rinse it well enough and theres still some hydrogen peroxide on them, I have no idea what it could do to the bud if left on or if ingested through smoking or cooking with it. cause I know drinking any of it is fatal, but I dunno. do you have any mildew growing on your crop? like is that why you're asking?

I think if it was me I would sign up to the site that Jorge is promoting with that video and ask him what his opinion is. You look like you've got it early, so maybe he has another technique for that. If not, then once you harvest, if they are as infested with it as the pics you posted would suggest, then I can't see the harm in trying it, a little bit at a time perhaps.

yeah that sucks. well like everyone in that thread said lower the humidity and maybe wipe them off with two soft sponges that have H2o2 and water on them then get it dry as fuck in there and hope for the best? maybe? I dunno I've never had to deal with mildew before really I've always had to fight to get the room humid and have even enough moisture to keep the plants alive. didnt have many pests either thank god. I guess thats the benefit of having a garden in the desert.

jorge cervantes has a video showing how to wash away powdery mildew but do you think it will ruin/wash away the resin/trichomes and make it look and smoke less potent? heres the link:

No it won't ruin your trichromes. They get rained on in the wild. A little gentle batch isn't going to hurt anything.

THC isn't water soluble nor is it hydrogen peroxide soluble. H2O2 turns to water very quickly, so there is no harm in using it unless it's too concentrated. Spray it down with water and peroxide, lower the humidity and you should be good.

You want to spray just before the lights come on, the buds have time to dry out when the lights come on and temps go up to help evaporation, But in your situation I would raise the lights some and spray right away. Your not supposed to do it, but if you take a couple precautions it can be done. If the lights are to close the water spots act as a magnifying lens and can burn the leaves. If you spray your HID accidentally on the bulb when its on, it can blow up. So you have to be aware of these things if your spray with your lights on.
no the h2o2 solution will be ok if some gets in your nutrient solution.
