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

How many watts do I need for my small tent?I am using a full spectrum LED that draws only 30W from the wall but it might be too weak since my plant is getting lanky. I have moved it closer to the plant but now I am afraid of over-heating. How many watts LED would be sufficient for my 40cmX40cmx120cm tent?Plant. Too tall

Why is week-old seedling starting to fall over?Why is the seedling in the foreground falling over? Is it from stretching? I planted it on January 28, and moved it to the tent a couple of days ago. It was doing fine until yesterday. (I've removed it from the tent and put it back under the CF bulbs in the bathroom.)Plant. Stem - Weak

Damping off or stress?It was laying flat when i woke up. I have been using domes untill yesterday and I thought it was because of the fan first. I put some soil around the stem but didn't help. Toothpicks are holding it now.
