Really hoping this isn’t some kind of powdery mildew. I always thought that was on the plant but it looks fine. It’s only accumulated on the exhaust fan and fan blades of circulating fan. any opinions would be appreciated.

Not sure on the first pic. The second pic looks like dust and the plant looks very healthy but this is just my opinion. Hopefully you get some opinions from some more seasoned growers. Are your temps and rh good? No rh spikes from high to low?

My does the same thing. Clean clean clean. Change home air filters. Keep ceiling fans clean if you have them. I have air filters at my entrance ports now.

That's a sure sign your plants are dying and it's time to burn down your house and start somewhere new. Or it might just be normal dust accumulation on the fan blades like everyone elses.

I like a good fire so please post video of the house going up in flames there sport.

Are you running an ultrasonic mister? Or evaporative humidifier? It could be calcium/mineral dust being put into the air.

Looks like normal dust accumulation to me.

Although an overreaction that involves a house torching would be entertaining, I don't believe it's necessary in this case
