Bud Mold / Crystals? Help please.

Hi everyone, does this look like bud mold to anyone? I havent had it before so Im looking for some advice. They are on my balcony and it is still quite humid here. Average temperature at this point of year is around 25 degree Celsius during the day, 15 during the night. Humidity around 60% during the day, 70% during the night. And the pictures:






the next one is the lowest bud and i think its where it seems to be affected most. i wouldnt hesitate cutting it if it really is mold but im just not sure.



Thanks in advance for any kind of advice.

Looks like u have sum spider mite webbing on the last couple of pics.

Rose Rx is a great organic spray containing neem oil, check out your closest gardening or floral shop .

i dnt think its spidermite,, if you look closer it looks like hair ,,,,, might be wrong so all i can suggest is take a look with a 30-100x microscope to see if there is mites...

in the 1st pic it just looks like crystals forming but in the others i can defo see what you think cud be mould... cant be sure as to what it is so i cant leave a helpfull comment ,, sorry..

im sure sum1 else will pop in n let you know what your prob is and help you out...

I don't think it's mites either...But it's hard to tell without better magnification. Pic 4 of 5 to me looks like the only one that "could" show mold or PM. If that's the case, like Dank wrote Rose RX is natural, contains Neem and will take care of either problem if it exists and won't hurt your plant if it doesn't.. Good luck

im pretty sure its not spider mites. hm... might spray them this evening just in case. i think it should be fine time wise. they've got a good 4 weeks left id say. maybe more.

thanks for the input so far though. unfortunately still unsure what to do. I can upload a bigger magnified picture later.

Ya I dont think its spider mites either. I'm dealing with the same thing in my outdoor grow. Powdery Mildew for sure. The only thing I recommend in the later weeks of flower is PM Wash by That Stuff. It can be used til harvest. Good luck.

here's a bit more detail:



i mean, this close up looks more like crystals to me, no? what difference would there be visibile, if indeed, it would be mold? anyone know?

cheers,

Organic pest spray.
Organic pest spray.
-2 garlic cloves(Remove skin)
-1 lemon (squeeze juice)
-Vinegar (bout a 1/4 cup)
-Hot sauce (pref. Tabasco)[10 Drops]
-H20 (bout a cup)
Mix all ingredients listed above into a blender and blend very well.
Then strain all excess material leaving only the juice.
Pour into a spray bottle! WAHLAH!
Note; If juice looks too red water down the solution.

Apply to underside of leaves or where infection on pest is spray every day until you see desired results.

Hope my organic pest spray recipe helps!

ive never heard of it "spewing out on the leaves". are you sure? i do think it looks a bit dodgy.

I agree with BUDS, its just crystals imo. It looks awesome!!!

Powdery mildew for sure. I always used a fungicide from serenade for it but the stuff smells like vomit.

weak mixture of milk and water misted heavily on a section of interest. Come back tomorrow. If it's gone, it's pm. If it's still there it's crystals. Simple

hey, thanks for the suggestion. ive never heard of this solution before. what exactly does the milk do? and what ratio are we talking about? something like 5:100?

you cant do shit with molded buds.. drop your humidity to around 30% and remove all affected areas.
The mold will continue to spread so i suggest you look into sulfur fumigation. Completely harmless to plants but kills all mold spores and bugs it comes in contact with

Good luck!

thanks for the input. bit hard to drop the humidity on my balcony though. what i can see now, it hasnt reeeally affect buds too much and i have taken action with a fungicide yesterday, as well as the milk + water mix today. by tonight, i should be able to give more information and maybe more pictures. hopefully, i shouldnt have to, if all looks good.

i looked up powdery mildew in google photos, could see 2-4 cannabis related photos, looks the same. it def white-er than the gland heads.

i never had those so sorry for you :\

best of luck man!

i think it looks like mold, i use neem oil as a spray and root drench (water with it ). it works and it does'nt hurt the plant if it isn't mold, better to be safe than sorry.
i now use it as a preventive measure.soil drench every 4th watering or so.
