Help!
so I over watered my plant and now it turned all white a week ago so I cut back the watering and I think its starting to green up again, but now I think its got bugs should i defoliate now to stop them or is it too late, and which leaves should i remove and do i need scissors or can i pull them all off, or will it get infected again.

so confused, I think i have really stuffed this up again, can i spray to stop the white stuff spreading or is it too late now?

Sounds like powdery mildew, can you take some pics of infected leaves please.

Don't defoliate now, you're too far along.

will bleach kill it if i dilute it a lot and should i spray it on , or is it best to water it on so the roots can up take it up to kill those bugs of powdery mildew.

I have never heard of using bleach in the garden. I would advise against it. The white stuff looks loke crystals but I cant see the photo very well for some reason.

Bleach is a no-no.
I just got rid of PM (I hope).
I picked off a shitload of infected leaves & misted with H2O2 every two days for about a week, increased clearance between plants and increased air-flow.
Seems to have done the trick.

I can’t see it well enough. Do you think you have two issues Powdery Mildew ( PM ) and spider mites that may have a webbed over tops? Do you have a thermometer and humidity gauge, what’s numbers with lights on and do you know what temp/Humidity when light are off.

no no never in flower.
It's ok yo use non-toxic insecticidal soap during veg
Sticky traps help
Take off only infected leaves, leave the rest.
Yes put a fan on & yes 24/7
Spiders and Spider Mites are two completely different insects.
Spider mites are nasty little fucks that are almost impossible to get rid of.
