I honestly don't know how folks have determined your soil is too hot... there's no information on what the soil contains! And I honestly don't think you have anything to worry about at this stage - this seems like a non-issue for me and I'd tell you to just continue with the grow as you have been doing... the lights seem to be at a good height - certainly not too close to the plants - and you don't indicate that you're giving her any nutes yet so unless you're using soil that has a lot of nutrients added into it, I don't see the problem! I'd give her another week or two and reassess... It's early days!
Good luck...

High Breezybombaf,
The soil that you use got to much nutritions for a seedling. The next time it is better to use so called Light Mix Soil for the first 2 weeks.
Happy Growing! 😋

@Breezybombaf it means that the growing medium is a little too hot ie too much nutrition for baby plants
young seedlings especially autos do not need much in the way of feeds for the first week or two
dont try to flush soil as it will just make things worse .
I'd suggest just giving them water sparingly until they have atleast 3 sets of leaves grown out

Powdery Mildew near end of floweringFor 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?Week 10

Is this powdery mildew? How can we know for sure?Could these white spots be mildew? We could easily just basically shake them off, without any residue remaining. Currently only discovered in those two spots seen on the picture.
In pics I find from mildew, it usually starts more dusty.. I also made one picture under the micro.Week 9

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?Week 2

Possible mold/mildew - I ask a ton of grow questions but figure someone else might learn if I do well or f up. Good community hereMildew? This has been on certain leaves of my plants since I got them so I didn't think much of them. But as I'm about two weeks into flowering, I want to see if this is possibly an issue. Have okay airflow in the tent but could be better. Humidity is 55% atmosphere. Thoughts?Week 11

I have noticed small powdery mildew spots on my pineapple express plant. The soil usually feels pretty dry so i don't think it is due to overwatering. I put them inside at night due to humidity outside. Should I separate this plant from the rest?Week 7

White Spots on top of LeavesI have discovered white spots on my plants. I think it is white mildew. From what I have read, the spores cannot be killed. You can only stop them a with pesticides or, if you are lucky, with a milk/water mixture, but you cannot remove them completely. What should i do?Leaves. White powder

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.Leaves. White powder
