Powdery mold?

Whats up RIU? First time grower here wondering if I have powdery mold. I pulled this leave off, it was by far the worst looking leaf. Most leaves look pretty good. Some have little bits of this white looking stuff. It seems worse on the lower leaves that might not be getting as much light. Its also more on the Trainwreck and not so much on the Northern Lights. My humidity has stayed between 33% and 46%. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

No it is not powdery mildew...that looks really weird though...some sort of bug, or a really strange pH issue...perhaps just a strain problem...but you say all plants are a little spotted...really sounds like bugs or pH to me

Powdery mildew is just what it sounds like...it is a mildew that makes spots of white powdery fungus grow on the leaves...they will start off as pretty circular spots that you can just wipe off...PM does not make a plant got all yellow dotted
 
there is only one way to handle that permanently. 'Eagle 20' it will sterilize your plant of an array or viral fungus. Other than that.. throw that shit away.. it will spread to your other plants and they will have it forever unless you take care of it.. It will even be in the subsequent generations of seeds if you decide to breed that plant.. F powdery mildew... don't just keep it under control.. sterilize your plant.. or fing kill it dude.. please take this sound advice...

huge problem in california with alot of dispenseries is PM.. alot of people don't like to talk about it thought.... lol.......

Picked up a pre98 bubba kush from a clinic in socal with pm and had to dose my whole line-up with Eagle 20...

later.. and good luck! keep it green

Thanks for the feedback. I only have 2 total plants so I am not worried about it spreading. I read the mildew you could wipe off, it can not be wiped off of the leaves on my plant. Thats why I figured it was something else. It must be the strain or something. Throwing it away is definitely not an option. That's crazy talk.

if its powery mildew you can wash it off your buds using a H2O2 solution. 1 cup Hydrogen Peroxide (3% strength, use less if yours is higher) to about 4-5 gallons of regular tap water.. Fully submerge your fresh buds in the solution and move them around in the water a bit, all the mildew will float to the surface which can them be collected and removed. leave your buds to dry in the shade outside with a fan on them, you want them to dry within a couple hours and you should be find
