............ and it's getting worse.
Just bought a $10 tub of fungicide and it's larger than expected.
Enough to treat the next 333 infections (3gm per 2l water spray)
(side effects, liver cancer and genetic damage to your future children .... no problem as too old to worry about those)

Says ...... not to be used in extreme heat ...... was 36c this afternoon, is that extreme or not?IMG_20200424_210401.jpg

throw that away and use Neem oil.... and yes 36c(96.8) is hot and will slow your growth needs to be down around 85f
Neem oil, $15 for 30ml ........ I think not.
It's 36c in the jungle every afternoon (but I'm not sure that's 'extreme'), never noticed that any of the plants grew slowly.

Exhibit A as to why you don't want to buy weed from anyone you don't know extremely well !! It could be pure poison...

you can find it in a concentrate and mix your self and save $ and it will keep you from getting spider mites as well....you can find it premixed at lowes or walmart for cheaper then 15

If you're looking for someone to agree with using your dangerous chemicals on plants that are going to be ingested, I doubt you will find that here.
You say you're "too old too old to worry about those", but aren't old people supposed to be wise? bongsmilie

Nobody has asked whether the plant is in veg or flower stage.

Neem oil is fine to use as a foliar spray in veg. I have a concentrate bottle in case I ever see signs of spider mites again (I had an infestation several years ago). I haven't opened it yet though.

With that said, I've never heard of anyone using it for mold. I've never had to research mold issues, as I've never run into any.

OP should post pictures of the plants so we can verify the condition before we begin advising on products to use.

*Australia banned the use of carbendazim, a common fungicide, on pome fruit (apples and pears), turf and other horticultural crops, including orange trees, in 2010 because of birth defects and male infertility in laboratory animals.Oct 24, 2013

*Carbendazim is a degradation product of the widely used fungicide benomyl and may be its active ingredient. Carbendazim itself is manufactured and marketed as a fungicide by several Chinese companies, but because it can disrupt hormone activity in animals, it is not approved for use in the United States and other countries.

*As recently as 2008, carbendazim was used to kill black fungus on Florida orange. However, once studies linked it to increased rates of cancers and infertility, an outright ban of its use on American oranges was soon enacted.

Carbendazim is the active ingredient in that fungicide. As of now many countries over the past 10 years have banned it due to the health issues of ingesting it. Now you want to smoke it? Bad idea, the extra money spent on safe products is an investment in both your health and those that smoke ur dope.

Unfortunately the flight to my nearest Walmart would be about $1,000 ...... even if aircraft were flying and the borders were open.
Here are some photos.
Just sprayed this plant, it's covered in fungicide now, that's all you can see on the leaves.
(test spray one plant to see if it suffers from the spray)

Here are some un-sprayed leaf photos from other plants.
All the plants have just been flipped and come into flower ........ so 6-8 weeks from harvest.

Currently banned in America and Australia (and Australia are currently thinking of permitting it's use again).
On sale in Europe and Asia and used on many crops in the field.

If you eat rice from Thailand or Vietnam it'll have been used on it.

what are you feeding? looks ok, maybe a bit light on N. do you have a fan underneath the plants? show us the air flow situation in there please. ignore the peanut gallery, lot of haters here, its ok though, most cant grow anyway and are just spewing crap they heard, therefore "know."

air flow, or lackthereof I should say, is a critical factor in mold development. for example, with proper airflow you can run 60%+ humidity in flower no problem, although its not necessary.

My friend, the important thing also, as well as spraying the girl, is not letting that shit come back.
Be sure to have a nice airflow in all the room, defoliate the plant a bit to allow the airflow, lollipop her and remove the funky and small stuff that is not looking healthy, at the bottom for the most..
and NEVER let again your room humidity get above 65%. 60% would be kinda risky too in these conditions..
you need an extraction fan to manage humidity, or if you are in a sealed environment dehumidifier
Hope to have been helpful!

Hard, as I live in Asia and normal humidity is 50%+ ....... monsoon is almost here then it'll be 70-80% humidity for 4 months.
The plants that don't live in the tent are a bit better, but there's still some mould on their leaves.
I've resigned myself to monthly spraying.

Three air vents at the bottom of the tent, three extraction fans at the top of the tent.
Four fans moving air at plant height.
All on 24/7.

I don't think there's any choice except fungicide.

What do you mean at plant height? Is anything oscillating under the canopy, over the soil? Seems like you have enough extraction, may just need to increase airflow underneath canopy.

Just need some airflow over canopy, not all of it.

Looks like WPM and mites. I would toss them and try again.

Neem oil has a dual purpose in the vegetable garden as both a pesticide and a fungicide. It works on arthropod pests that often eat your vegetables, including tomato hornworms, corn earworm, aphids and whiteflies. In addition, neem oil also controls common fungi that grow on vegetable plants, including: Mildews..copied from google.... but in flower you have to be careful i wouldnt do it past week 3. i like to spray atleast once mid veg and once a week or so after flip maybe an extra time depending on the season...i hate mites and mildew and love good green
