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

Stems on fan leaves weak
The stems on those big leaves seem kind of weak and in general as the grow out they seem to be drooping a bit like they can’t support the weight well. Does this look like a problem and if so any thoughts? I do have a couple of fans in the tent providing some circulation.

Sun Bending Seeding Stem Germinated Indoors - Should I harden off?
Is the sun killing my seedling? Small Black Plastic pot outdoors - Temperature 76F, Sunny with little to no wind. Seedling germinated indoors 1 day ago. Stem was straight, now very bent after 1 hour in the late afternoon sun. Is hardening off necessary at this stage?

Timeframe of Silica Usage?
Yellow everyone 👋 Is it ever "too late" or "too early" to add silica to help stem gain some thickness? Should be entering veg next week for my OG Kush Auto should be entering veg and I'm worried she's way too thin to ever carry dense buds

What Should I do?
I have fixed the one on the bottom left with a toothpick. This photo is from yesterday and plants growing small leaves now. I foliar sprayed them and pour a tiny bit of water onto them from the leftover but now I am worried I overwatered them the top of the soil wasnt even dry.

Have I just killed my plant??
Oh no!! I think I've snapped the main stem! Can't see a cut or break in the stem, but I definitely heard it snap. I was trying to train the main stem to same height as the rest of the canopy. Autoflower, 2 weeks into flower. Have I fucked it??
