Well let us know what your humidity is in there. The main fighter of mildew and mold is a dehumidifier. I won't grow without one.

Control your humidity. Stay between 45 - 55%

Allowing air to cool when lights go off will cause humidity to spike.

I don't have a humidifier right now what can I do in the mean time to keep it from spreading any sprays? Sorry I'm just surprised I thought everything was going good

If you cannot affor to go get a dehumidifier atm increasing your airflow will help as well. It will not lower your rh but I know mne can get n the upper 50's sometimes at night with no problems but I run all my fans inlines and circulation 24/7

remove that leaf if that is the only place you see it, put a fan or 2 in there and keep your eyes peeled.

Don't let ventilation stop when lights shut off.

Could try the baking soda pH upper foliar spray. Greencure

Serenade.

Eagle 20 rocks if not in flower.

Sulfur vaporizer if area isn't micro.

baking soda .... saturate with water. it functions as a fungistat not a fungicide that eradicates the organisms. just spray it on or dust foliage for one-three days ...oh and where a mask.. good luck !!!!

All it does is raise pH. PM likes an acidic environment. Get above 7.0 & pm goes on vacation.

Something to try if you have issues with other methods: One part water, one part rubbing alcohol. I've never used this to treat mold or mildew, however it should help. Give all affected areas a light spray, wait 15 minutes, and carefully wipe down affected areas. Don't worry, the rubbing alcohol evaporates very quickly. I've treated 3 day old seedlings like this before thinking I had mite eggs when it was just trichomes forming @_@ and it did no harm to them. Best of luck Sj!
