Mold or crystals

Hey everyone. 5 was into flower of first grow. Wondering what this is on my leaves just below my buds. Hoping crystals and not mold spores. Thanks

Those are trichomes- congratulations!
Trichomes are the crystals that form and hold the thc and other cannibinoids you want!
They look like little spheres on the end of a stalk. Look up pictures of “cannabis trichomes”.
Then look up powdery mildew pictures. The mold is wispy and web like.

5 weeks into flower. Lol

I looked into it before I asked. Wasn’t happy with the closeups they had. But thank you for the response and answer.
