Mildew, Mold, Spider mites oh my!!??

Plant in ? Is a super skunk auto. 5 weeks into flowering. Temp 85F 60-70%RH. Found this today.. was on the center Cola of the plant. No others have been found with anything similar..
What the hell is it? I've added another canopy fan while waiting for answers lol

That's bud rot. To humid

That's some nasty mold. Carefully cut it off, put in a bag, and dispose of.

You need to get the humidity much lower. The spores are already all over everything. You'll likely find more.

Looks like, I say, looks like powdery mildew....advanced. I caught PM last round. Discovered early.......tried all the home cures, no luck. I used " Banish", a fungicide ( a geranium oil extract which actually kills pm...it kills "hook" that PM sinks into mycelium . I used twice on that batch, problem gone.

 

[MiselfCare]

I'd toss them but if your determined to keep it Cut it out and mix up some peroxide spray. spray your plants if theres any hidden rot in buds you can't see it'll get all white and puffy like putting some peroxide on a open wound it'll most likely spread tho especially if you don't get your humidity down

That looks like it's more than PM. Looks like botrytis. Nasty stuff. Spores are all over that plant. It will keep growing deep inside the bud where the most moisture is even after you start drying it. That stuff will ruin a crop. You see it a lot here in the PNW with outdoor grows if we get an early cold and wet fall.

I've tossed entire plants because of it. Cutting off the bad wasn't good enough. After drying I examined the bud very closely with a scope. From the outside it looked fine. Once you break into the bud you'll see mold inside. I'd toss that entire plant myself.

Is that the same stuff you find on strawberries if left in the fridge for to long?

Same thing. It's nasty stuff. Grey mold is what some call it.

 

[Dank Bongula]

Dang, man...you gotta get that humidity down below 50% by this phase

Well f$%k ..I have 8 other plants in this same room. Do I just keep an eye on them or am I restarting the last 3 months of my life. Lmao

To be honest. I thought it was the perfect VPD and I'd be golden. Plant growth seemed to like it. But obviously not my forte

Shit happens...easily fixable with a little adjustment from your extraction fan and more inside circulation.

I think same genus different specie ( strawberry mold is gray, was mold in pictures ?

 

[Soul Dwella]

VPD charts make no sense when it comes to mold prevention.

 

[xtsho]

Good luck.

It starts out white. And on cannabis it often goes from the white stage as in the OP's pictures and then just rots the bud without growing like it would on a strawberry.

I assume I should turn UP my exhaust to help refresh the air faster? I only have at 50% power. (4" ac infinity)

In a dryer climate, yes, that will work. Mine seems to hold pretty constant with extraction kicking on every 18min for 3min.

 

[xrdamianxr]

Well damn. Definitely bud rot. Found more on a different plant 7 weeks into flower. Tossed the whole damn thing!!!!
Guess now my question is. Can younger plants be infected? These are only 2 weeks into flower.
If I can keep my RH low, like 50% will I be good to proceed with my grow on these clones?

 

[MiselfCare]

It's always a sad sight to see but you can always grow new pot same can't be said for lungs. As for your younger ones I'd hit them with a preventive for pm I like green cleaner myself a bit expensive but it works good and it's a miteicide/insecticide as well. From what ive read 50 rh is good early flower and you wana lower it down to 40 towards the end specially if your growing big dense buds
