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.

Powdery mildew or just... chalk?
Can someone confirm if this is powdery mildew or just chalk from misting, please? The walls of the grow tent had a little chalk on them too so that's why I am not a 100% sure. Temperatures have been quite optimal for late flower and humidity has not even been over 40%.

My blue widow has some white spot on some leave and I think it could be a mushroo but I don't know what to do, she also has her leaves that are going down but I think that's just a lack of water because the weather was very hot this week, some leaves are also turning yellow

Too little light
I have now tried removing the WPM by smiering 40/60 milk/water on the affected areas. Deep inside the canopy aswell since little to no airflow passes here due to the plant being so deep in the pot. And apart from that the plant recieves 8 hours of light and I cant install a LED.

What are your best experiences for treating white powdery mildew? (4th week of flower)
I carefully removed all the leaves with WM on it, but i want to spray the leaves to hinder further development of the mildew. What are your best experiences? I've read about milk solution, maybe citric acid solution with a ph of 9? Can i spray the buds too? Thanks for your help!

White Powder on Leaf
Here'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?

White powder on leaves
Got like a white powder on my leaves on one plant veg stage. Thinking it's some kind of mold but it's only on one plant out of 10 in 4x4 tent . Getting more & more of it but staying in that one plant..I moved her around so she'd get more wind. 2 weeks before she goes outside

Leaves half white
So I changed the water and noticed these leaves changing color. It's like half leaves though...I'm not sure if this is anything to be concerned about? Would like to catch the problem before it becomes an issue... any thought?

Welcher Mangel ist das?
Seit etwa 10 Tagen zeichnet sich ab, dass meine Blätter braune Flecken bekommen. Diese werden leider immer mehr und größer. Kann ich jetzt noch aktiv gegensteuern? Des Weiteren erkenne ich kleine weiße Punkte auf der blattoberfläche. Sind das Salze?

Small white spots on leaves in germination phase.
Does anybody know if those small white spots are ok? I have water 7 pH and I add some citric acid to lower it to 6 pH, when I sprinkle the soil I lightly sprinkle the leaves as well and I'm not sure if it's the effect of dry citric acid or something else. Thanks.

Powdery Mildew near end of flowering
For the last few days, powdery mildew is starting to form on the leaves and some of the buds. I've cut where mildew was, lowered humidity to around 45% and increased air circulation by focusing a fan on the plant but it is still forming. Anything else I should do?

Bugs, spiders or fungus?
Hi everyone, what should i do with this in floration? Neem oil? Soap? Im starting the 9 week and i think that if i use neem oil now, it will leave some taste on the buds. I touched some leaves and the white marks stay, it isn't powder, but is white. Thank you 💚

White residue - Mildew or Sugar?
Plants are giving off strong plant like smell rather than bud smell. Almost chlorophyll or ammonia like. Is the white residue on the leaves signs of mildew or does it look healthy and it's just sugar?

I need help diagnosing what this was. I already cut off two of the affected leaves on the Kmintz, but other leaves have small amount of the same substance on both plants. The brown spot in the first pic ended up turning into a hole because it was so dry. Is this powdery mildew?
