Sounds identical, post photos...except I would say my white spots are sorta yellowish or surrounded by yellowishness and this stuff looks like a disease - like the way a rash would spread. I made sure to clip all of that off [After posting the photos, it looks like it may be spreading]. And the black stuff on mine...I dunno what you mean by stringy, but mine is like sorta thick and sticky almost like hash (no I'm not smoking it lol). My first thought was mold but I've had a million answers. Mine is located mostly at the very bottom but looks like it's creeping up. Also, some newer growth around the infected area has become sort of papery or wrinkley, like the back of your grandma's hand. There is a photo of this. I bought this stuff called No Tolerance by Ed Rosenthal. It's supposed to work for all kinds of bugs and for mold and mildew and a few other things I can't think of. Basically everything. I have to wait a few days to see how it works on the two leaves I tried it on. I'll let you know how it works. Ima subscribe to this thread and you post anything you find out, too. Okay? Readyyyy BREAK

Oh shit. Iimportant for comparison. What's your humidity, temp, nutes, medium, environment? Mine is 53-65% mostly, 74-81, Botanicare Pro Gro 3-2-4, Fox Farm Ocean Forest. My pH and PPM are decent, not great.

I'm pretty sure that I have bugs. I saw one flying, found holes in leaves, showed pics to a guy who knows his shit today and he had the same problem but he wasn't sure what bug it was, but he recommended this bomb that worked for him but I don't have the name cause he's goin with me to buy it tomorrow (will post). We think I also have mold and a little mildew and I'm trying to control the humidity but it's hard all of a sudden. I guess the summr humidity is finally kicking in. I hung a bag of damprid but its not doing enough. I will hang another and look into dehumidifiers. I never sprayed neem oil before so I'm doing that. It's like a protective wax coating for the leaves.

Yo did yours look like mine? Photos?

I'm pretty sure it's something from the mold/mildew department because I hit my bug problem with a PERENTHEMUM bomb - or that's what I think the name is - and the black stuff got much worse from it. So that's not from bugs, and nothing else but mold/mildew makes sense I don't think, considering that the humidity must have gone through the roof. I'm gonna hit them with some stuff but I'm trying to give them some extra airing out first before I spray another thing on them. This is three days in a row, probably not good.

It's kinda funny though, after the bomb is the most I've seen the leaves stick up - all 45 degrees happy and shit - in a few days.

So ya, I'm a noob, but I think mold makes sense. PM me and let me know what you end up using and how it works out
