unfortunately, there is no effective treatment for WPM. Cut off the parts that exhibit it and pray it did not spread yet. The biggest reason would be condensation or otherwis having standing water on your leaves. If you have OCD and foliar spray, stop doing that in future as it's a useless risk to do whimsically. Hitting the dewpoint is a very easy thing to do by accident. After lights turn off, 'absolute humidity' remains the same as temps drop, which causes "relative humidity" to spike. Even with a dehumidifier it's possible to consistently hit the dew point after lights turn off and temps drop. Ensure this is not occurring. May need a remove temp/rh sensor if growing photoperiods so as not to interrupt the flower phase dark cycle. There's a lot of bro science out there on this. Do not spray your plant with a milk solution or the "cornell formula" or hydrogen peroxide etc - doesn't work. Don't douse it with anything, because there is nothing effective to use and it will only spread it around more, lol. drip down on buds and stems then you have WPM all over the stems and buds, lol. I've had this problem before. it was due to my poor control of environment. Once I properly matched my canopy size (total moisture being released by plants in light) to my dehumidifier's ability, the problem went away. I was hitting the dew point the first 15-30mins of dark cycle after the plants grew out to full size. This consistent condensation caused WPM to show up at roughly the same point in several consecutive grows. once the leaves were consitently wet each day, it was inevitable to have a problem. so, 90% of the time, it is a self-inflicted problem. You may need a stronger dehum or fewer plants etc.

Neem oil is an insecticide and will have no effect on mildew. In my country, Neem oil is illegal to use on any crop intended for human consumption by the way. You could try spraying the leaves with a mixture of 25% full cream milk and 75% water, the enzymes in the milk actually kill the mildew spores. The milk/water solution needs to be applied during the morning/in the light as it is the sunlight that activates the enzymes that attack the mildew. Try to keep the flowers dry though. Also, avoid defoliation, your plants need every leaf they have to make the energy required for flower growth. Quite simply........less leaves = less energy being made = less potential growth.

Do NOT spray your plants with neem or any oils or pesticides in flower if you plan to smoke them. Mildew likes big temperature fluctuation and guessing your night temp has dropped a bit in the last few weeks, but still have warm days. Keeping your plants inside at night in a dark room could help keep the temps more stable for your future grows.

Yes, that is mildew. If you are in flower, there is not much you can do. If you are in veg there are a few options. What has been most successful for me is bio sulphur. You can use it as a soil drench and spray, just make sure it is dry when the lights come on or it will burn your plant. I have tried many things, but once it is in the plant it is almost impossible to get rid of. You just wipe or wash it off, but the fungus is inside the leaves and within a few weeks it comes back. For your future grows you will have to anticipate that it will come and to start fighting it before you see it, because once you see it, it has won the battle.

Moin, Ja sieht leider nach Mehltau aus. Du hast ja noch ein paar Wochen vor dir bis du erntest. Neemöl soll super dagegen helfen, soll man allerdings nicht kurz vor dem ernten verwenden. Hab es selber noch nicht nutzen müssen 🤷🏼
