Hey guys, ill try and post a pic later but im 1-2 weeks from harvest on most of my plants
and a couple weeks ago what looked like cotton starting forming on some buds on a couple different
plants, when wiped away the bud was fine and my fingers just smelt like bud... so i left em B.
but now it seemed to have spread and is getting thicker.

firstly what the fuck is this, i tried googling it and searching here but couldnt find a straight answer.
im 85% sure its not a bug as ive seen no bugs pretty sure its a type of bacteria or mold.
should i vacume it off? fucking sucks man i hope this doesnt make my plants un smokeable.
and if it does can i make hash wish it?

any help much appreciated. + rep for any useful answers.

Prob Powder Mildew... I would just spray it with some baking soda/water mix - 1 tbl of Baking soda to 1 gallon of water. To close to harvest to spray anything else....and this may help or hold it off until harvest time arrives...throw a couple more fans on them too... whats you Humidity level in the room?

Definitely powder mildew. You can soak the buds in h202 to remove the pm.

Powdery mildew sounds like the culprit. I wouldnt soak buds in h202. Just cut all infected areas out and save for bho or something. Do NOT smoke buds that have PM on them. It can cause a lung infection.
