You've got yourself some powdery mildew... and this can spread very rapidly so get on it NOW.... The BEST way to kill this off is with Potassium Bicarbonate... but you'd probably have to order it online and wait for it to arrive... there are a number of concoctions you can make from things in your kitchen to combat this - and rather than get into all the various options, I'm just going to give you a link to a very thorough article that details any number of home remedies that will control/kill it. That link is: https://www.growingagreenerworld.com/controlling-or-eliminating-powdery-mildew/
And you really don't have time to dither about this... left untreated, powdery mildew can turn an entire field of crops white in 7-10 days...
GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Potassium bicarbonate is freely available at vitamin shop I believe
My tool was sodium bicarbonate and organic dish soap. I do that at week 3 of my outdoor grows. Never had any mildew issues.

Grab some Amazing Dr. Zymes and start hosing the plant down. Tops and bottoms of leaves, stalks, stems, branches, soil, everything.
Then, take Dr. Zymes and also hose down your grow area. Then, sanitize it after that, as well.
Powdery mildew is a pain and you don't want it coming back in future grows.
Good luck!

White mildew can be resolved with a mixture of milk and water sprayed on leaves. Would do it at start of night schedule. I am not sure of mixture amounts off hand.

The best way is to use ultraviolet light at 280nm, Solacure. Pretty pointless though unless you can control your humidity.

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?

White spotsHi, this morning I checked out my lemonchello haze growing in coco and noticed it has small white spots on the leaves. My first guess is mold but I have good airflow and the spots don’t look spread out more so just forming in leaf. Need a little help with this one

WPMI found WPM on a few leaves. I was spraying spinosad at night. I stupidly thought spinosad would take care of that to. LED light showed much more PM but early stage. In A.M. sprayed 1tbsp baking soda, soap, veg oil per gal. Used 2 gallons. Will any of this interact? Thanks

Bugs, spiders or fungus?Hi everyone, what should i do with this in floration? Neem oil? Soap?
Im starting the 9 week and i think that if i use neem oil now, it will leave some taste on the buds. I touched some leaves and the white marks stay, it isn't powder, but is white.
Thank you 💚

White misty layer on my leavesNoticed the last days some light white covering on my leaves, if I go over it with my finger it disappears.
Branches look good and green, no brown places on the branches, nothing wrong with the buds, they développe great. They are now in their last week.
It's only on the leaves.

White powderI've been noticing some sort of white dust on the bottom leaves and stem.
I wiped them off with a kitchen towel with water 2 days ago, but i noticed today that they are back.
They look like cigarette aches. I'm not sure if it's powdery mildew.
I'm not sure it's visible in the pic
