Give them a shake once the leaves have dried, which shouldn't take too long if you spray in full sun.

Did the H202 yesterday. At 1/5
I've sprayed full strength and seen more PM the next day. It may kill it but it sure doesn't prevent it.

Yeah. I'm pretty confident that milk is good for prevention. As soon as the milk started flaking off is when it started coming back.

With rain and clouds in the forecast till the end of the week, milk seemed pointless.
nivek said it was hard to wash off, so a bit of rain shouldn't do it.

I'm just nervous Because it's my first plant and it's looking awsome. Don't want to take any chances.

I wish I had someone reply to the thread that has used it with so harmful effects.
Other than nivek saying it's hard to wash off (a chance I would gladly take until someone post a link to the dangers of inhaling burned leftover milk solids), I have only read that it's a preventative for PM.
Is inhaling burned PM better or worse?

I feel kinda guilty not staying committed to it. Lol
Are you not staying committed? The H2O2 is gone in no time.

I'll see what happens with the PM and the weather over the next couple days and do some research and go from there. if I don't find anything negative about it I will use it. I'm pretty confident that it kills and prevents.
I have read that water actually prevents PM short term. It likes moist but not wet.
Gosh shedder. That is a strong mix. Least according to jorge cervantez. He mixes one cup in five gals of water to wash buds. I have been following his guidelines more or less
One thing i do do when i wash mine in h202 is to arm swing the buds dry. Hard. Hold on tho. No ill affects but removes so much liquid
Cheers

Interesting. Makes sense because PM is only on the surface. If it can't get to the surface it can't hold on.
Me too! Swing swing swing hang.
Great article on mildew at max yield. Many kinds of mildew. Some love dry. Some need wet. A mildew for every situation
Gotta love nature!
Mildew is not only on the surface. Its tendrils penetrate into the plant. And feed
Which is why the leaves die even after you kill it!
