I'm not sure but it could be either powdery mildew or thrips or mites (both are bugs)
Go check out the plant problem threads, they could give you a better idea.
Hope you find it

It is the season for that shit. Caused by high humidity. I'm using milk to control my problem in a 1part skim milk to 9part water mix. I have treated with it once and is working better than the fungicide I had. They use in grape vinnyards because it is cheaper than fungicide. "milk and powdery mildew" google it. Good luck don't let it take over.

Im not sure about the humidity part I know it cant help your mold situation but I took his advice about the milk a couple weeks back and it works hella gud. I burn sulpher as well but I think the milk was more effective. looks like mold but you got to watch out for those cobwebs im sure you allready know about that

Thanks very much for the help. I am going to bug bomb my room soon with pyrethrum and "sponge" the leaves on all plants with milk used 1 part to 9. Im also going to cheese cloth my 6 inch air intake since it comes in from the crawlspace, no choice in this. Oh and pull all the plants out and clean the room with a mild bleach solution. Thanks again guys! all help appreciated :D ~ ur BCbuddy

you got PM. and it will take over your room if you let it. first trim off the bad leaves. then buy a product called organocide. spray all plants that arn't to far into flowering. its 100% organic and works better then serenade. you could try the milk but the organocide is better, almost like a natural neem oil.

also the bug bomb wont help any for the pm. you will need a fungi bomb cuz bet your ass the spores are all up in your room.

also try to lower your humidity. if you don't fix the problem, well then you'll just keep getting it and getting it and getting it.

one more question... when should i apply all this milk solution? I have my timer set 18/6. Oh i know that pyrethrum is not made for mildew, i want to bomb for mites just in case they are moving in, I've seen potential signs, only small white dots on just a couple leaves but... u know.

Powder mildew the only thing to do realy is get a sulpher burner.Stop any misting that you are doing and do something about it has fast has possible.Burners are not that expensive to buy and are the best thing to sort this problem out all grower's at some time if growing indoor's will get this on there plant's it is just like the spider mite at one time we all have our wars with these little fuckers.It is important that if you are useing any kind of hydro sytem to shut of all the pumps because this can inturn pull the burning of sulpher into the reservoir and cause serious burns to the plant's.I have also wiped every leave clean of this stuff then put the fan's onto the whole plan to dry it of this also worked.But i would go for the burner took me hours but that was when i first started.

Do you have to worry about anything with the sulpher burnner if you are in soil, and do you have to plug it in to power it?
BCbuddy Spray or apply when your lights are off. One more thing bleach is a temp. fix when deling with mold and depending on the surface of your room, wether it be tyle or wood, you might have to use something different to fix it for good. I hate powdery mildew.

my room is 100 % black and white poly, so bleaching is easy... A ? though, how long should I let the room fumigate?, i only have 6 hours of dark right now is that sufficient? or should I just leave the plants without the light (out of the room) for extra time to get rid of the bleach fumes. I have sprayed all the plants thoroughly with the 9:1 skim milk solution hoping for the best with the PM. I may get the sulphur burner within a day or two if that shit reappears. Thanks for all help :) ~ ur BCbuddy

I have a 10 x 20 shed, bleached it the weekend before easter week end and I can still smell it. And the bleach didn't work. Aweek later I noticed the shit growing again. I used Peroxide next. I think I got better results with the peroxide but can still smell the clorine.

If you really want to stop this shit fast you need to get Avid for the spider mites. That shit it deadly and it'll kill them fast. Then you'll be able to get control over them and then you could switch to something not as harsh. Once you see those mites they'll come on SO FAST!! Once you see the little spots on the leafs the next days they'll be making webs and eating your buds!!

For the powder mildew you need to burn sulfur like other posters have mentioned. Get yourself a sulfur burner and set it on a timer to run for a few hours in the dark and make sure that you turn off the exhaust. I have my burner run everyday for 30mins, but not sure if the exhaust is on or not because it's set to a t stat. I started doing this as a test and have not noticed any negative effects, but also have not seen any signs of powder mildew.

Is avid a bug bomb? or a spray? The local grow store has Dr.Doom bombs for cheap and they swear by them so that's an easy option. As for the sulphur burner, I appreciate you being specific about how to use it as I will be setting one up VERY soon thanks man. How much are they US dollar and where about can I purchase said item? Good help thanks again +rep
