That is not WPM. That is called White mold (Sclerotinia). You must remove plant and disinfect your grow area.

Yep looks like it. It will usually only get that bad with sick and dieing plants. Either pests or root issues are the usual culprits

That looks bad.. I do find WPM seems to manifest easily on stems/branches on some strains. If that’s not powdery mildew it’s something to be concerned about absolutely

Main cola is injured.
One of the main branches got too heavy and snapped. 6 days later, it’s turning darker and looking to finish on a different time frame. Do I still continue to leave it alone? It didn’t completely break off, and I have it supported with sticks, ties and tape.

Help branches breaking in flower
Help. Several branches in late flower have fell over and they have basically snapped but not broke off. Should each branch be removed. I'm looking for the safest route. Chop the branches? Leave them hang and forget it? Or chop the whole plant in fear its been over stressed. Help!

Accidental stem bend
I accidentally cause a break in one of the cola's stems. Just wondering if folk with experience could say if this is likely to be a problem and if so how much of a problem? Was thinking I could put some Rhizotonic dilution in a spray bottle to help her recover?

What happened here?
Had 2 stems that aren't doing well. Can really tell what happened. They are a lot taller than the rest. At first I thought it was because of light intensity. When I examined it closer it looks like the stem is damage or some sort of nutrient thing. Any thoughts
