PM 2 weeks from finish

So this morning I noticed a flowering plant with PM on a fan leaf. I proceeded to frisk every plant in the GH and all together found about 10 affected leaves in total, not a lot but enough to cause concern . I treated the problem but now the question is do I harvest early? The bud looks great even two weeks out, I know it will do the job but obviously I would like to let it finish. On the other hand I don't want to wait and regret it. Anyone with experience want to steer me in the right direction here?

How did you treat it? With pm it starts in the inside of dense buds and goes outward. You're sure its pm and not botrytis? Remove any and all of your buds you found mold on. If you dont it may spread to other pnes and ruin ur whole crop, ive seen it happen.

Use a dehumidifier and try not to let buda touch any walls or other buds. And also dont touch with your hands.

With low humidiry, i would finish them after getting rid of all currently infected. If humidity is a problem, rhen pull earlier.

Humidity in general isn't an issue, I live in the desert, however I fucked up the other day and fed in the evening then closed up the GH, I was in a hurry and I won't do that again. I didn't find it on any buds only on a few fan leaves that were inside the canopy. I cut a large bottom nug trimmed it, broke it open, scoped it. Nothing but trichomes. I scoped every bud top to bottom, no PM on the bud. I treated the whole GH with H2O2, plants walls, floor, everything.

Also I should say PM is a common issue where I live. Even my outdoor vegetables end up with it at some point. I think I can continue treating daily with H202 until harvest and keep it from ruining any bud. Big Teej, I'm 100% certain I'm IDing this correctly, as I've said I've seen it for many years on my vegetables. My airflow is good with the exception of one corner plants bottom nugs, (the one I cut) but I corrected that too. I'm just on the fence here about whether I should cut or wait.

Wait it out bro. Keep up with the H2o2 if needed and make sure it doesn't spread to the flowers. If it starts going that way then you should get ready to harvest.
My opinion is based on you stating that out of the whole green house it was only 10 leaves.

Greencure is great when close to finish. Not sure if a biological control like serenade or actino would have time to take hold in 2 weeks. Like everyone else said, monitor closely and chop at the first sign of things getting worse. One in the hand is worth 2 in the Bush

Im in the same boat in a greenhouse. i been burning sulfur and sprayed Green Cure once. What about dipping branches/buds in a hydrogen peroxide solution day of harvest? I've heard of it but never tried, and was wondering what parts per water to hydrogen peroxide? Sorry I'm not trying to hi jack your thread by all means. Thanks

h2o2 dunks works but I don't suggest it unless its really bad.
I don't like what it does to the drying process.
Speeds it up and can makes finished product look funky.

theres a product called banish that i know some commercial growers out here in CO use. its from supreme growers. they growers that use it, say they can spray up till day of harvest and doesnt effect the flower. also doesnt burn the pistols or plant at all. also gets rid of pm very well so im told

Whatever you spray at the end you are going to smoke or your customers will so just think about that..Trim off affected leaves and masses of foliage (do this carefully to not leave stumps of leaves and use disinfectant on your scissors as you go), increase ventilation/airflow on the canopy , especially at night, temps might be getting colder so increasing RH and causing condensation at night...and ride it out with 2 weeks to go.. H2o2 might help for a hit after cleaning up extra and affected leaves but spraying buds with 2 weeks to go will increase your chances of botritus which is a whole other nightmare in a GH. Good luck.

If you must spray then do it in the morning so the water part of your solution evaporates quickly. I've sprayed Greencure up to harvest and had no complaints from customers, its basically a slightly revamped form of baking soda

I make a 1% solution when I use it. Just mix 1/3rd 3%Hydrogen Peroxide and 2/3 water.
I also add 2 tsps of dial soap but coming at the end of flower I would omit that.
