Looks like Powdery Mildew to me.
Powdery mildew is almost impossible to stop in late flowering, so early detection and control is essential. Perpetual harvest, dense scrog/sog systems, and damp basement grows are particularly vulnerable to powdery mildew. Note: strains vary in their susceptibility.

hhmm.. you can spray fungicide (like safer/organicide) and use some fans to dry the buds~ might be able to save your precious buds~

Here are couple pictures of the bud site right below it... i just checkd the other 7 plants (8 total) none on them. So i caught this early and can prevent it from other plants? Need them to last outside for 4 more days then they go indoors. Im putting them inside shed from here on out every night hopefully that helps.

I'd scrap the one. And use some preventative measures to ensure it does not spread.

Nice looking ladies by the way. Minus the Mildew.

Rinse that shit off with h2o2 and get some green cure or serenade or do the milk thing and treat the others cause it might sure get them to. And if you keep it in control you can still salvage. You better have a couple of fans on em. [video=youtube;S7jE7qzfgQs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7jE7qzfgQs[/video]

just watched that before you posted thanks to google lol... it says no fans so spores do not spread.

tmr after work im going to take any leafs with them on it off and then spray with h202 (29%).

my next issue is, should i bring them inside for the next 2 .5 weeks till theyre finished? reason im asking is if this stuff spreads that easy i dont want them to get on my other veg plants that are inside growing. will this stuff really flurish indoors when my rooms are at 81* always? veg plants are in seperate room then these will go in.

29% is too concentrated. You want 3 to 5%. mix a quarter cup to one gallon with that for plant contact. Then wash that floor with Clorox, it`s where your trouble started !i Clorox wont hurt that wood but too much water will. Mop and wipe it then let dry. It wouldn`t hurt to spray the walls and roof inside and out with H2O2 solution too. You can use a more concentrated there. Right now in the US, the spore counts are moderate.

yea and I'd chose the lesser of two evils and use something else besides just the h202.

Greencure, it will kill on contact will explode the pm so it will look worse after u spray it but under a microscope its dead, has a short shelf life on the plant but don't spray it a week before u take it....but it will do the trick...

ok so this morning before putting them back outside, i pulled every leaf with the pm and cant see anymore of it so on way home today ill grab something from the hydro store to spray all of them down.

weather says low 70s all week(end). really hope so... if somehow the pm isnt dead by monday from spraying will it still spread indoors? rooms is 20x15 sealed with co2 with 8kw. so each plany have its own light. humidity and temps are in check.

i'd isolate that plant, treat it, and cook it into butter after harvest.
is your plant getting an hour or so of morning sun? try and put it somewhere that it will catch the sun right when it comes up, this will evaporate the dew off the plant and further prevent the mold.

i have had success with 50/50 milk /water and spray! make sure to spray with just clean water after a day or so. ya dont the milky calcium leftovers all over your sugar leaves.

I dont spray anything on my ladies....

Once I see that shit, I try to cut all of it out immediately... then check on it daily... It does spread quick, and sometimes ya just gotta make the call.

I'd rather harvest severl oz of immature nugs, than loose it all to rot.....
 
Dude, don't listen to the guy who said you need to scrap your grow. It can still be treated. Just make sure you disclose (to your friends) the fact that you battled a mold/mildew issue during the grow, if you plan to share your meds. Here is the way I dealt with PM (if that IS in-fact PM... It looks kinda like it, but it might be something else). This is a copy/paste from something I wrote in another thread.

I recently dealt with quite a large Powdery Mildew outbreak. I have it 99% handled now and it was fairly simple. Here is how I took care of it:
I have a hose that I have permanently run into my grow area. It has a little nozzle thing on the end I can use to temporarily shut it off and on while I'm working and the spigot is turned on. After the lights in the grow room turn off for the night, I go in there with a green flashlight and the hose turned on (fairly high pressure). I open up the nozzle just slightly so its spraying out a very small high pressure stream of water. I use the high pressure stream to spray off each leaf. You want it spraying fairly hard and you don't want it using tons of water, otherwise you'll end up with a massive mess all over the floor. So, you spray off all the leaves. Make sure the pressure isn't so high that you are snapping off branches and leaves. Spray off the plants as best as you can. It will make a bit of a mess on the floor, but you just use a towel to wipe that up afterwards. The next step is: hittin the girls with some neem oil. I use 2 to 4 teaspoons of neem oil extract/concentrate per liter of water. I bought "Garden Safe" brand neem extract from Lowes. I think it was less than 10 bucks. I'll include a pic along with other pics. I used to use stuff like AzaMax and/or Mighty Wash to control problems like spider mites. They were really hard on the plants and they were really expensive. Now that I'm using neem, I haven't had an issue in 6 months. I haven't seen a single spider mite, and it works fantastic for PM. No issues what-so-ever. I just hit the girls with neem once every few weeks, and my plants are happier and healthier than they've been in over 4 years. So, I use a "gun" that you can buy at Lowes that you use for painting... spraying paint onto walls. You can use any spraying device you want, but if you have a large garden, this investment will be worth every penny. I mix up my neem oil and spray away. You can do this a half hour or an hour after you rinse the girls off with plain water, but I usually wait until the next night, after they've had a chance to dry. You want to DRENCH the plants top to bottom with your neem oil mixture. I mean DRENCHED. You want the plants to look like there was just a rain storm in there for the last few hours or something. When you go into your grow room the next day, you'll see 90-100 percent of the PM gone (depending on how bad the case was). Repeat this whole process every 1 to 3 weeks as needed. Once you get rid of your powdery mildew, continue doing this every few weeks. It's called preventative maintenance and will save you so much heartache. If you are worried about tasting it on your bud, discontinue the program 2 weeks before harvest and rinse off with plain water one last time about a week before harvest. I'm telling you... If you do this and continue doing it as preventative maintenance, you will never have spider mites or PM ever again. It sounds crazy using moisture to get rid of a mildew substance. It's counter intuitive but it works. I swear to god. Lemme know how it worked for you. I will include some pics of some PM I found on my clones and used a small spray bottle to fix it. I din't use the plain water rinse first. I just went straight to a heavy dose of neem. Here's the before pics and the day after pics. By the way, I took the clones out from under the T5 fluorescent and just let them sit out in the middle of the basement for a few hours after spraying so they could dry without damage from the lights.

If you look at the leaf in the middle of the left side, you will see some powdery mildew. It was actually worse than the pic shows, but I guess I took a bad pic.

You can see I drenched these girls. I'd reccommend drenching them even more than this picture shows. Especially on big plants. you want them dripping wet. Sopping wet. DRENCH THEM.

Here they are the next day. Nice and dry. Powdery Mildew free. Thanks to the magical Neem plant.

Here's the neem I used. Its cheap and effective. I bought it at Lowe's hardware store, but I bet you can find it other places. There are tons of brands out there. This is just what I used. I've never tried any others, so I'm open to any other suggestions if you know a better brand.

Here's a spray bottle with the neem oil mixture in it. There is about 250-300 milliliters of water and about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of the neem concentrate in it. All concentrates are different, so always read the labels. Super interesting picture, huh?

I hope this helps. Lemme know how it went, if you try it. Feel free to ask me any questions, privately or in the forum.
