I have one plant infested in 5x5 grow room with 12 plants and this is the only one infested.
Luckily it doesn't attack the buds only attack the branches and I'm going to harvest tomorrow.
Do you guys know what this is?

I screwed up and told you to cut them down out of panic it was mold but I looked closer and clearly see you have mealy bugs/ fuzzy aphids. Get yourself a spray bottle and a bucket/large cup of water along with some neem oil or dish detergent, dawn is the best.

Mix 4 tablespoons of dawn/neem oil per gallon. You want it strong.

Spray from the top down. Top and underside of leaves.

When you get down to the infested area do this in this order

Spray the infested area until it's dripping wet.

Cut away all the dead material and seal it in a bag. Burn it if you can.

Take the bucket/large cup with the dawn/neem mixture and some kind of tool to scrape with. Scrap everything you can into the bucket/large cup filled with dawn/neem mixture.

Flush it when you're done.

Spray your plants before the light comes on from the top down, both tops and undersides of leaves with dish/neem mixture 30-60 minutes before the lights come on and just before or after the lights go off everyday for 10 days.
 
Looks like a bad fungal issue.

Trash it.
Worst mealy bug/fuzzy aphids infestation I've ever seen hate to laugh at someone else's troubles because I've been there but GAW DANG! gotta pay attention to your grow and catch things like this before they get out of hand.
 
I could literally make out the shape of the bugs in your pics. An image search on Google can go a long ways too bud... Some call them fuzzy aphids, some call them woolly aphids, bleach aphids... Whatever... Either way the mixture and process I described above should work. Let me know how it goes

Yuck! Looks like mold!
That's what I thought immediately too... Started telling him to cut them all down and nuke his set up but then noticed the shape of bugs in the dead center of the pics... Fuzzy...woolly...bleached... What ever aphids and mealy bugs

Thank you, I asked ChatGPT and it said spidermites. :wall:
But I think they're aphids as well

No problem but to be honest I see some spots that look like spider mites as well so don't hate on ChatGPT completely. Either way the process I explained will get rid of them all... It tedious work but if you want a harvest you have to do it.

Next time you use soil from outside, heat it in your oven on lowest setting with door cracked open for an hour before using it.

Gets rid of the nasty bugs, molds and wild plant seeds that rob nutrients
