Think I have powdery mold!!!

RIKNSTEIN · Mar 12, 2013

Ok so I've been trying to nurse a couple of fuck-ups back to health, and they seem to have developed these white spots...well the only thing I found on the subject was "powdery mold" and it doesn't sound good. Is there anyone who's come across this prob, cuz man it's spreading to my other plants and I don't wana have to start over agian!!! :wall:

...and is it even powdery mold???

What could it be hotrod? It seems to be spreading to my other plants, I've noticed it on my big one in flower, and they were together, about 2 weeks ago, but now has a spot to herself.

Powdery mildew looks like powder:

Yours looks like a nutrient problem.

I can see N and Cal deficiency's on that plant

Yeah look like she is low on Nitrogen my friend. From the picture it looks like really light green spots.

That not Powder Mold but if you do ever get it, this is what I do.

I will pick what leafs I can, and I will spry my leafs with baking soda and water, this will clean them and since it is alkaline it can kill mold. I will let it sit for a while then I will wash the plant again with just water. You can get sprays that kills powder mold but I don't like to use them on my plants, I stay as natural as I can.

Clean your Room top to bottom all fans.

You can keep it under control if you keep a good eye on them.

Could be but I need to see up her skirt (lower leaves). Nitrogen usual works it ways up with yellowing of the leaves. I see something yellow in the neither regions.

when you say it's starting to spread to the other plants... did you bring these F up's in from another environment? Do you just throw them into your grow room without quarantining them? I just to figure out is the spread from something like pest or disease that's been introduced or if the spread is because its a reaction to the care they are receiving... curious to know

Don't want to bug you out, pardon the pun, but spider mites are notorious for leaving little white spots, just saying...

naw, they all started from beans together in the same grow area, and in the same soil, those didn't like the MG.. :cuss:

That's a negative. No bugs on my mugs, I checked, it was a thought of mine too.

DANKSWAG · Mar 12, 2013

Spider mites have been known to be found in cheap non sterilized soil. I would examine closer for these. Also when did you last ph test the water from your run off?

lol I PH everytime now that I have a Water PH meter. 6.5 goin in and 6.8 coming out, but soil sets at 6.6 on avg...and there's no bugs on my mugs..lmao...I sprayed this house, and treated the foundation personally, not to mention I've remodeled the whole house and sealed it up tight, and I've never had probs with the soil I use. I start all my veggies in the basement with it, and they do fine, no bugs not even gnats.

Bump up your soil PH a little closer to 7 and see what happens.
