White Dust on leaves

[hebrewdiver]

There is a white powder or dust looking substance. Any idea what it might be? I'm at harvest time in 2-3 weeks and buds are looking good and smelling great.

Let's see some pics. Hopefully it's not powdery mildew.

Probably powdery mildew. Without a picture one can never know. Main cause is lack of air circulation in your grow space. Humidity being too high and heat are also a factor in it's development. Hope your buds haven't got any mold growing inside. Good luck.

Powdery mildew starts in circular spots.

 

[hebrewdiver]

didn't start as a circular spot. It just kinds showed up when i first noticed it was like dust. But I kind of thought it was mold. but the plant still was kind of healthy looking. Now it's probably 3 weeks from harvest. hardly any leaves they mostly dried up. This morning a sprayed it with 60-40% water milk with a teaspoon of neem oil and a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide. What do you guys think about the video above of the hp bath at harvest

 

[Bugeye]

Have you grown before? Do you know what trichomes look like when they frost up on sugar leaves? Have you scoped these things?

 

[hebrewdiver]

just brought a 30/60x loupe and can see the trichomes most look clear like little water drops on a glass stem. I think I see some amber but still many white hairs coming from buds. I was wondering how that bath would change the smell and taste.

given u are gentle and don't burst or damage a lot of trichomes it will taste the same as long as u cure it properly. the taste and smell come from the resin within the glands

I was looking through the pics and my head was spinning... Then I realized it wasn't me, it was teh pic

 

[KryptoBud]

looks like you went a little heavy on the napalm

 

[hebrewdiver]

Yeah I know guys. They looked sick so I threw them a rope made of thread...lol. But the buds are solid and they smell great. I think I will harvest in a week anyway and try the peroxide dip, rinse, dry and cure. I think once I cut all those leaves off it might not be to bad.

 

[cap master]

good luck keep us posted throughout the dry and cure process so we can see first hand how well
the dip method works

 

[hebrewdiver]

Did the dip and there was little to no powder on the water, maybe because I had strayed the earlier(2 weeks) with the same kind of solution. So I dried for 2 days hanging and the trimmed and let dry for another day. They smelled real green like grass. Today i check them and they appeared to be really dry. So I cut the buds off and jarred them with a hydrometer now I'll wait to see what the rh is. I hate the smell do you think they will get that sweet smell back like before the dipping and drying?

 

[cap master]

I would have waited a few days cut the buds but not trim till it was dried. they could have been leaching chlorophyll

 

[hebrewdiver]

will it go away and the smell come back or is it grass for me
