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

Last week a couple of stems were going soft mid stem and becoming paper thin. Leaves all looked healthy. I think it was maybe a sign of over watering? Seems to be ok now but stunted the plant for about 5 days give or take. Would just like a rough idea to the causes.

Could these be automatics?
I was trying for the first time the 12-12 form seed growing method and these are supose to be “fast cookies” but I assumed they were just fem But as i am following the state as close as i can and daily “studying in here a couple of hours” i think the problem could be genetic

How long should I wait before watering my plant, causing the newly added soil around the stem to get wet? The old soil underneath still has some moisture.
I added more soil and buried an inch of the stem because of an accident that I had. To prevent stem rot I used dry soil. She has recovered from the accident. How long should I wait before watering her and causing the newly added soil to get wet? (details in diary)

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.

What am I doing wrong? I thought I had a handle on tis.
Can someone tell me what is wrong with my plant? It used to droop badly but I fixed that (underwatering) and the plant looks a lot better. Stalk was weak so I switched to "Veg" (mostly blue light) mode. I also added proper nutrients which are helping even more. Help??

Why are my stems drooping?
My Jack Herer auto is dropping in the stems that are supposed to come out at a 45° angle and resting upon the fan leaves. The light is a Mars Hydro SP 250 that's about 24 inches above the canopy. I stopped watering today in an attempt to see if I was perhaps over watering.
