Hmmmm ... I've never seen a plant this young having these issues. I am stumped! Especially since you have used absolutely no nutes? Looking forward to see how she bounces back. Whenever I have had ANY issues with my ladies I put a 1/2 teaspoon of sea kelp in their water and in 24 hours I see MAJOR improvements! I don't wanna jack your thread so I won't post photos but you can pm me to see what I mean. Let your girl dry out a bit and manage those temps she will probably bounce back after awhile. :blsmoke:

For powder mold right?

Yes and what appears to be burnt tips due to heat stress/light being too close

You need to address the powder issue right away, or your grows over.

For now just let her chill. I have seen these ladies bounce back when they looked like they needed to be trashed. We are growing a WEED after all, and by saying that I don't mean that you should be careless with her, but she knows how to grow if you'll allow it. Just watch her temps for now and let her dry out a bit like a few days, then go from there if/when she pulls through. Is she the only girl you have going right now?

That's real talk. I haven't personally had to deal with powdery mildew as of yet (knock on wood) but from what I read it virtually ends the grow if that's what you have. But you clearly did some research and addressed the mildew right away so let's watch and see what happens.

After lo
Picture update.
Taps 7.4 ppm 146
Notice how the tips are burnt? (Idk why that pic cimes out upside down when i erase the exif data... My apologies. But this one is where u can see it curl the most.)
I think thats from when it was in 100f+ allnight.
P.s I wiped the mold off with a 9 part water 1 part milk mixture.

Im high af... Hope y'all are too!bongsmilie
After looking at the new growth on the most recent photo you posted, those new leaves look healthy. You are probably alright. Is your grow area extremely humid in addition to the heat issues?

happy frog is a very dense soil compared to most.. you really wanna watch it when you water. you stated you soaked the media thats not what you wanna do you want to have a happy medium when watering.. not too much to the point your dripping water from the base
You can add easily bulk up happy frog to make it more porous. pearlite, grow stone, hydroton, coco chips, etc
I always water to the point of runoff. The soil does not get oversaturated because I wait until it is almost dry & only hit it once. When I want it completely soaked, I water, wait 10 mins, then water again.

Have u ever had a run in with it?
If so how did u treat it?
Yes i have. And its the worst, id rather have spider mites. I use the super poison in early veg dunk or spray. However you mentioned you were on a budget. Try the milk/water spray i guess. Think its 1 part milk 9 parts water. Its on this site some where.

That's exactly what I would do, cut the damaged leaves off after a few more new ones come in. Hang in there I believe she's going to make it. Don't be stressed 'cause it is my belief that plants pick up on our energy much like dogs do. I'm sure I sound loaded right now saying that LOL! But the more positive good energy I have when I am in my grow space, the better I am able to love my girls and the sweeter they are to me during growth and harvest. :oops:

i second that pm is a pain in the wazoo to deal with humidity swings can bring it back after you've treated for it .. it spread like wild fire its a pain.. and they say that even when using eagle 20 the disease still remains in the genetics.. that i can't confirm i don't know much about it other than what I've been told but mono is right if i had the choice id rather treat for mites before i had to deal with a crop full of PM

in michigan the last few years (not last year but years prior) out humidity and moisture levels got to be so high that a lot of people were battling PM on a regular basis .. my veggie garden got it so bad all my cucumber and pickle plants died and they were massive ... it just got so bad so fast it was really difficult to control without having a strong chemical like eagle 20

Hell yeah good to see a female in the business lol.
Heres the update photo update

The one without a label is girl scout cookies auto it had its seed stuck on it and then the embroy stuck it together too... Just freed it yesterday and accidentally tore the corner of its good leaf... Check it out. I moved all the babies closer to the light but i may have to move them back some. If they starts to get hot.

They are in this guerrilla cabinet until the tent gets here (ordered today)
P.s before someone tells me not to transplant autos dont worry they are going into 5 gal buckets monday.

Also i ran 6.1-6.3 tap through both like over a cup each but the runoff is still testing 4.9-5.1 is that chill or should i worry
