Yup




Not the worst thing ever, pretty common indoors. There are sprays and shit, but it's all pretty much a band-aid, and won't make the powdery mildew(PM) actually go away. The only thing that REALLY eliminates PM is pretty heavy duty nasty toxic shit, and shouldn't ever be used in flower...I don't like toxic chemicals, so I'm not even gonna mention the name of that product.

Not that hard to get rid of, bigger waterings, more time between waterings, a fan that blows around the pot and when the top of soil is really dry, take off the top 1cm soil with the mildew and throw away. Repeat till it's gone. Clean you grow room with alcohol. Not sure about the alcohol, but works for usual mold and the whole combo worked for me with powdery mildew.

Whoops...lol...I just noticed that he said the SOIL was covered in white stuff...I gotta read more thoroughly...lol...disregard my posts, healing. It's most likely NOT powdery mildew on the soil...the shit on the leaves might be, though.

Call it whatever you want, to me it's mold. I'd scrape it off, lower the humidity, and improve the air flow. When they're seedlings, I don't like to add anything that could potentially cause toxicity. However, once they are a month old you can use sulfur, milk-water, or horticultural oils to control the problem.
