20150309_224119.jpg I just did a hydroponic transfer into the buckets and I have a mysterious white dust substance on the tops of the leaves. The babies are only about 3 weeks old, and I've looked into it, and the only similar thing I can find is powder mildew, but they're not spot-like, someone help? :(

Can you wipe or rinse it off? It might be residual salt from rocks transfered to your hands and then to plants when you transplanted.

I tried spraying them down lightly with a spray bottle and it looked like it disapeared, but when dried it came back look the exact same. And I'm not sure, but I think the whiteness showed up after the buckets had fed them a few times.

looks like residue from a spray or dip. Have you done either?

Spray some silica once or twice a week, it will promote better health and will be more resistant to harsh temps and it might fix your problem. Good luck Dude =)

Looks like mite webbing. Keep her cool and moist. Gently clean it off w/ a wet towel. When she gets a little more substantial, you might want to try some habeñero spray.

I have used it. works great, works best if mixed with ice water instead of boiling and 3 drops of liquid soap.
