The powdery mildew has gotten very bad. Pretty much every leaf and sugar leaf is coated in it. However, I don't see it on the buds.
I have fungicide stuff coming but it says it takes weeks of treatment to get it to go away. Supposed to be safe on buds and after harvest. Really should of taken aggressive action against this as soon as I noticed it.
#5 starting putting out more white hairs and continued to develop the already good looking buds. It has to be close to finishing as it's reaching week 13 now. Checking the trichomes daily. More and more buds are turning purple, mostly on the very tips. Very pretty, didn't think white widow would turn purple.
#5 is also showing some deficiencies and yellowing. The leaves are also a bit brittle and crispy. I'm not sure if this is from the light, or the mold, or both.
I raised the light a few inches.
How much hairs are usually still white when the trichomes are turning amber? Do the white hairs turn orange/brown after the harvest too?
#4 is catching up thickening it's buds and hairs turning from white to orange.

@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.
