Looks like mold. Did you use used soil? If you sterilize your soil it won't easily grow mold. You have enough room to add another thick layer of quality soil on top of what you have. That's not a sure cure, but you could use more soil. The plants look nice so far.

From what I read and see, cow manure is a very bad idea to use for growing marijuana, because of the problem you are having now. From this knowledge of lots of growers, they say never use cow manure as it has very very little nutrients, use the manure for shrooms..

I've heard too much said against Miracle Grow. As for cow manure, it has to be sterilized and totally dry before it's good for potted plants. There's a lot of live stuff in cow crap. Since the plants look great now, I think you just need to put some fox farm soil on top of what you have and hope for the best. Check to see if it's safe to use a fungicide on the surface of your current potting mix before adding some fox farm. Happy growing.

next time rotate your pictures so i dont get whiplash. lol what kind of nutrients have you given them if any. im not %100 but it could be a high level of salt buildup and you need to flush. cow manure can have a high level of salts and ferts will cause buildup over time as well. plants look healthy though i wouldnt panic just keep observing and maybe flush. cant hurt.

thanks everyone for your advise i actually bought some fox farm ocean forrest soil for my next grow that im getting ready to start and i think that tomorrow i will transplant these plants into the smart pot bags and put them in with fox farm, but at 3 weeks i started using all purpose MG nutes they are 24-8-16. also for flowering what would be best nutes after i switch to the fox farm soil or should i need any since the FF is so rich already? i will post more pictures after the transplant. thanks again

why not use the fox farms nutrients since you already have the soil? they work good i have used them before and got good results
