I've been through this and other forums and it seems that whenever someone mentioned white spots, the discussion goes to either Spider Mites or White Powdery Mildew. I don't believe it is either of those based on the pics I have seen of each.
1. My white spots are like dust particles, not blotches. (WPM seems to usually come in blotches rather than 'dust'
2. My white spots can be wiped-off. (Spider mites eliminated?)
1. I have AK48 and Northern Lights plants in a tent (32"x32" with a 400W bulb.
2. I am approximately 4 weeks into Flower and beyond this oddity, they look pretty healthy.
3. I DID spray them, repeatedly, with Dyna-Gro Bloom mixed at 1tsp/gallon. I now have read that I should not be spraying them anymore since that can add to humidity and bud rot.
Is it possible that these white spots are indeed White Powdery Mildew even though they are specks rather than Blotches?
Is it possible that the nutrient left a residue?
Or, are these tiny dust spots 'normal'? (I may just be a plant hypochondriac because the last time I saw oddities, I discovered it was just the plant maturing/changing and they were quite healthy. But, better safe than sorry!)
I would love your advise. For the moment, I am going to go ahead and take them out, wash them down, and spray with Neem Oil (4tsp/gallon) in case it IS WPM.
I included a bunch of pics. As you can see, the white dust is a LOT easier to see under the grow lights and seems 'amplified'. There are other leaves with slight 'burn' spots, but this is not prevalent.
