My first question is, is this mold in the picture? It's hard to see but it's a thin white coat powder almost. It's only on one small colla as far as I can see. What should I do about it?

Second question is I have spider mites bad on both of my plants. Twice a day I pick webs off of it and before it wasn't to bad to keep up but now it is getting out of hand. PLEASE HELPP

Also one plant is most likely 2 weeks from harvest the other is more

and as for friggin mites, they multiply like mad. an air compressor is good for getting rid of mites, but predator mites may be your best bet as your into flowering.

Spray the girls with soap water. Mostly under the leaves. People say that spraying the tops creates mold, but if you have sufficient air flow, not only from your exhaust but oscillating fans, you should be ok, trust me I did it. I just had to harvest early because of those stupid spider mites. Never had them until I got some clones from someone. But the soap water won’t kill them, it just makes it hard for them to cling to the leaves, eventually they drop to the soil. This is where Cayenne pepper comes into play. Grind up Cayenne peppers as fine as you can, and sprinkle it on the top of your soil. This will kill the mites that have dropped into the soil. Before you water, scoop the top layer of soil out, replenish with fresh soil. While this won’t completely rid your tent of the mites, it prevents things from getting worse until you harvest and can completely disinfect the tent. This can be repeated as often as needed. Good luck.

Thank you for your response I will do that today. My plants are outside so I can't really clean the surrounding area but I will spray under the leaves with some light soap and I will consider harvesting the one plant early

Would hydrogen peroxide not be your friend, it oxidises spores and bacteria?

We can't ever escape mould spores there in the air all the time everywhere, the issue starts when you give them conditions to grow in coupled with a plant that can't fight it of, personally I'd cut away anything with mould, remember your only seeing its fruit it's already established by the time you see it.

Should I just harvest at this point ? I will post some pictures but between mold and spider mites I am starting to not be able to keep up

That might be a good idea I'd certainly consider it, with 2 weeks left it wouldn't stop me cropping it if I thought it was at risk.

Ok thank you. Not to many white hairs left on her so might do that

I've only had isolated areas of bud rot so i,m not sure how quickly it can spread, it might be best to get some other options on it, I'd hate to see all your efforts go to waste and two weeks isn't going to make it or break it imo.

Hard to see any mold but if its powdery mildew, keep an eye on it, cut the leaf off and dispose of it, be careful as it is a million tiny spores... I suggest two teaspoons of Organic Apple Cider vinegar to one qt of water, fine mist, will eradicate PM. I use this only when it starts to get out of control.
Second, I recommend the use of yellow Sticky boards for any and all insect control, and heres another organic mix specially for spider mites, Make a spider mite spray by mixing 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon baking soda and a few drops of liquid dish soap in 1 quart (1 l) of lukewarm water. Spray wherever you see evidence of spider mite activity until they are completely gone.

Heres a link to help you out if it gets real bad...

I had great success with organic apple cider vinegar, 2 teaspoons per qt of water, fine mist, soak everything, underside of leaves, everything.
Fine MIST, lol
