#4 and #5 in Miracle Grow began developing a dusty covering on the topsoil. Come to find out, it is microscopic bugs and eggs. The little dust mite looking things are crawling up the plants' stem and onto the cotyledeons. I scraped off all infested soil that I can see, but I know this won't be the end of them. I'm not sure what they are or how dangerous the are.
#6 is growing the slowest in the Espoma Organic Soil again. Although it is a few days younger than the others. There's just something about this soil that isn't ideal. The top dries of very quickly and even gets a little hard like and clumps together, while an inch down it's black and not dried out.
End of Week 2
@JabzXtreme, and your sure its not bud rot ? if the plant is in flower to long the bud can start to rot. 6 months ago I lost half my harvest ( 6 ounce) to mold in the curing jars so I know the pain. as for avoiding bud rot from age keep an eye on the trichomes
@The_Bearded_Grower, I guess. I have a lot of air flow with 3 fans on high. The humidity was only about 55% usually, except it would go up after watering. I have a little dehu in the tent but I guess it sucks. I only empty it like once a week.
What kinda fungicide you using? Looking for options to have on hand. These are looking killer! I’ve noticed a lot of these WW autos get some dark color late in flower, pretty cool! I had an ILGM amnesia haze autoflower that looked very similar with the purple tips of buds developing. Good luck with harvest!

@Ezzjaybruh, thanks for your comment! I'm using organic Grower's Ally Fungicide Concentrated. Used 3 tablespoons with a gallon of water in a Vivosun Sprayer, and it was enough to cover all 4 plants making them dripping wet. Next day no mildew on leaves and did not come back. Some of the deep lower foliage sugar leaves mildew still stayed, but I tried not to oversoak the buds so that's my fault for not hitting those areas enough. I'm very surprised how well it worked with only 1 application. It did turn all white hairs brown though, but buds are still growing and producing new white hairs the next day.
