Still fighting the powdery mildew mold. I added and adjusted fan locations and speeds to increase air flow. It is still taking hold on the leaves mostly. I don't see a whole lot on the buds but it's hard to distinguish from the trichomes.
#7 (ILGM Bruce Banner Auto) has been stretching for the last couple weeks and outgrew the rest in height. It got too close to the light and started to show signs of light burn. I raised #4, 5, and 6 to be even with the #7 BB and raised the light back up to 16-18" from the tops.
Watering every day now as they seem to be drinking and soil getting dry more often. Giving them about 1.5 liters each every day, sometimes a little more until I see runoff starting to drip out.
A few issues are showing with the leaves. This has been happening sparingly for a few weeks now. I'm not sure if it's the light or nutrients. It doesn't look too serious though so I haven't really worried about it too much. Some leaves are getting yellow spots and sections, others feel dry and brittle but still green.
#5 looks like it doesn't have too much longer to go. Most of the hairs are orange, trichomes cloudy, and buds fattening up. Looking for those amber trichomes daily. A few of the tops are turning purple. I'm estimating 1-2 more weeks, but this is my first grow so that is just a guess.
#4 is next behind, still with white hairs and growing buds. They are fattening up and getting more trichomes. It has the thickest stalk and branches of all of them.
#6 is in 3rd, and budding up. I think it's a bit squished in the back and needs to be opened up more. Buds are growing but doesn't look like they'll get as big as the others. Stalk and branches are a bit thin. This one suffered a main stem snap and repair during its first LST.
#7 Bruce Banner has stretched the tallest and has huge leaves - Sativa dominant. The leaves are getting bad with the mildew spots. I've pruned most of the mildew leaves off, but it just keeps getting worse to more leaves. The sites appear to be stacking close together with their white hairs. I think it is a bit squished in the back too and needs to be opened up more. This one doesn't scream "thick", but it does have more height. It looks a little imbalanced as some sites are still underdeveloped. Could be that it's on the edge of the light footprint.
Smell has gotten stronger as #5 and #4 grow bigger buds and more trichomes.
Thank you for following! Leave any comments/ suggestions below.
@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.
