I shoulnt be getting PWM...Or is this an odd arrangememt of trichomes?

I have a fans circulating air both above and below the canopy and I have a cloudine T6 pulling air out of my 3x3 tent and my dehumidifier says that the room is around 55% humidity... yet this looks like WPM to me... my second thought was maybe it's an odd arrangement with just way more trichomes in a small area than usual.... I don't know.... anyone know why I would still be getting WPM if my humidity is at 55% and I have fans above and below my canopy as well as an exhaust fan pulling air out?

The plants look healthy, albeit a little cramped in their space.

For a better look at it, get a loupe or macro lens. Hard to tell without more magnification.
As far as how, without being familiar with your grow, micro climates maybe? We don't live in a sterile world, spores are literally everywhere. If you're using an active air intake you could consider an intake filter/dust shroom.

Is that cotton?

Does it wipe off easily like dust? If not it's not powdery mildew.

It sure does look like PW and if you can get your humidity a little lower but the best thing to do is keep your lights on and lights off temps within 5 degrees will help a lot and spray with green cure but the temp is what helped me the most. Even if you have to add a little space heater set on a ink-bird controller for lights out temps that’s how I do it.

I've only seen mold on a dried product and it looks exactly like mildew to me, but i'll leave it to the more experienced growers..
If your dehumidifier shows 55% it doesn't mean that it's 55% everywhere, there might be wetspots that the ventilation doesn't reach. If you say the space is cramped then the ventilation will definitely not reach every leaf.
Use neem oil or citric acid on it, and if it's just that leaf i would cut it out slowly not to shake the spores around.

Sure looks like pm to me , you can even see openings/pock marks in mycellium from pm. As far as humidity , that pm will form in very dry conditions, say even 30-35% humidity. I've used " Banish fungicide " the last couple of years....so far it's worked every time ( I do catch it early when it's shows up as a faint dull white film on leafs surface. Banish is a geranium oil extract, safe for vegging and flowering...used in medical weed production. I bought 2 oz for 30$ on Amazon......8mls/16 oz water for dollar spray.......that covers a lot of surface area......it goes a long way, haven't lost one plant. Sorry if I'm boring you !

Yes it is. Send a pic of your whole tent canopy, you said the plants are cramped, curious what that means. T6 is great, good job.

What type of fans do you have above and below canopy? These may need to be upgraded, whatever they are.

Any defoliation early flower?

Room humidity and tent humidity are two different things. The latter can easily be 20% RH higher in a packed tent.
