Pics included. This is a young autoflower. This mildew is only really on the little starter pot, I've had them for a long time and I'm guessing that contributed along with them being overly damp. Maybe I should leave the lights on longer and less watering? What do I do with it right now though? Plant is young. Maybe 2 weeks. I tried to upload a pic of the soil but it won't let me for some reason. The mildew is pretty much only on one fan leaf on the edge and the starter pot soil, not the actual soil.
Are you trolling me or being serious? Cus it looks like mold and it moved to the leaves. Originally it was only on the starter pots top soil. Today, it moved to the fan leaf. Not making me excited.
You clearly have an issue. If that's coming up now. You're gonna have major issues later on. You need to ventilate that area more. As it is. You can h202 wash your leaves to kill any spores.. and as I said. Up your ventilation Without knowing more details Area in ? Rh+temp? Ventilation? Things will help. But, ven will be your main issue.
I just put a fan in with it. I'm gonna let the light on longer to dry it out more. The starter block is where this shit is coming from, I have another though that is not having this issue but its in a larger pot so it doesn't get watered nearly as often. Should I h202 the soil as well? No nutes yet and climate has been pretty much steady 70s I'm unsure of the humidity but because this plant is so young, its probably rather high as I start them in a plastic some. However I took that away like last week.
Powdery Mildew can be controlled with high PH water. 1 tablespoon baking soda to 1 gallon of water. Drench spray once a week is what I use Outside.
Fans are great and all. But you need regular swapping of air. As when a plant gets down to really low levels of co2. Its pore clog and that's how mildew starts in this case. As there's water (tiny tiny tiny amounts in pores) and if there's no conversion (photosynthesis) this can happen. A growing plant needs a steady intake of co2. And if your temp is in the 28-29 window co2 intake will double. Again. Swapping out air with new levels of co2 or go into your grow room. And downs spend a few mins in their co2 increases rapidly. But really you need ven if you're in a tent. A negative seal is best. If you're not growing in a tent. Just ven the space its in. A window open or doors do the trick. Eh. If it started in your soil. Then yes. It won't hurt much. 1-5 h202 6% -water RO or tap the H202 will kill any organics. 1-3 if its 3%. Its cheap. Your local pharmacy will have some either 3-6% you don't need to buy the controller food grade 20%+ stuff. Your just killing spores. Leaf wash also. And spray your plant. (Lower your lights when you do. Or when applied turn them off. And just leave them in ambient light.) Should kill all infected areas. And then you need to apply the stuff I said above. No nutrients so there's no reason that should be there. Its your plants stomata vents are closed due to lack of co2. Same happens with soil. You need fresh air co2/o2 for your roots/substrate to breath. Its defo a ven issue. How has your growth been. If all I said above is right it should be very slow going if I'm right
Its actually been exploding with growth. Its just that starter pot that has this white moldy stuff and it moved to the leaves, however now I have another strange issue which may be related to something else but I'm unsure. Some of the leaves have these little black resin lookin dots. I inspected closely even with a loupe and it just looks like some kind of weird resin substance. I'm guessing the leafs released it for some reason. I don't see any critters or anything as far as I can tell even under the loupe.
2 weeks. Heres my 9 day old Is it like a red varnish stain..if so that's a pigment/fade mutation. Can you throw up a pic. Its most likely just that though.
As if making the correct diagnosis over the web is easy??? could be this or that??? at this point??? Over my pay grade, ask a master grower. Sorry IDK I've seen much worse in some of my grows that turned out fine.
