Is this mold?

I had the same thing, I have hard water and this white dust was from the humidifier. Try cleaning your humidifier (vinegar worked for me). I say this because I see the dust on your pot too.

how many times should we spray with milky water in case of powdery mildew when we are in bloom? do you have to spray with this solution every day?Several people here advised me to dilute the milk spray with water, I did it, I diluted 400 ml of milk with 1200 ml of water, then I sprayed the plants in the tent, since they are grown in scrog, it is difficult to get everywhere.Leaves.

Difficulty identifying leaf problem - maybe it's insects?I'm having trouble figuring out what's going on with my plant. The cotyledons and lower fan leaves are getting irregular shiny patches varying in size underneath, with yellow spots directly above them on the top side. It's really hard to photograph the shiny patches. Thrips?4y ago

White Powder on LeafHere's a closer shot of the white powdery stuff, only on one leaf right now. I'm going to keep an eye on it and try not to worry for now. If I suspect it's mildew, mold, or Fungus I will take action. What does it look like it could be to you all?Week 3

I've had issues with PM in the past. Safers brand 3 in 1 seems to work temporarily but it always comes back. Also seems like it may deteriorate the trichomes on a flowering plant. RH 50%
I currently am using a worm casting foliar spray and all is staying well. Any more tips?Week 3

White powdery mildew in late flowerWhat's your best remedy to remove it on flowering plants? I just found it after I had forgotten to replace on of the fans when I left them for a few days.
What can I do to remove it as quickly as possible without ruining the buds? I'd prefer not spraying them with milk.Week 11

WPMI found WPM on a few leaves. I was spraying spinosad at night. I stupidly thought spinosad would take care of that to. LED light showed much more PM but early stage. In A.M. sprayed 1tbsp baking soda, soap, veg oil per gal. Used 2 gallons. Will any of this interact? ThanksWeek 25
