Washing of Powdery Mildew with Hydrogen Peroxide

Hi,
I just tried Jorge Cervantes method of bathing off Powdery Midew in a Hydrogen Peroxide solution (about 30 ml of Hydrogen Peroxid 3% in six gallons of water). It worked perfectly - all went off. (Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7jE7qzfgQs)

The reason for this is that I had a temperature problem and my growroom was cooled out for about a week. And I was growing Durga mata - a bushy Indica that forms a very dense central cola. I successfully removed the Mildew by bathing them for 3-5 minutes in the solution and then rinsing with plain water and then drying with the help of a strong fan before drying (and eventually curing).

Now my question: I have several more plants that are affected and my idea is to try the same trick while the flowers stays in the pots (most have a week or more until mature.

Will that work do you think? Or will I kill/damage the plants?

The problem with doing that is it kills all the beneficial bacteria I'm sure that Algae and mold is harmless but I could be wrong?

you can't do that with big buds maybe thru week 3 bloom at most. But I would instead direct you to buying a bottle of sm-90 to keep around as it will knock that out asap and is all natural. Can be used in nutes and as foliar. Kills lots of bugs and things also. I never spray anything on my plants though but if I had to it would be in veg not in bloom.
