Hi all, first post here. This is my first grow and so far everything's gone well. Im growing outdoor (South Florida) and she's just starting to flower. I'm noticing these little white things keep appearing on her leaves. They blow off quite easily, or I take it off with my finger. But by the next day they're back. I'm also seeing them on my lemon tree which is next to her. It looks like some type of fungus to me. What is it and what should I do? I'm pretty fine to keep blowing them off as long as it doesn't get worse. Hopefully the pictures help with id.
White stuff on leaves? fungus?

All in all from what I can tell from your photos they appear to be fairly healthy. Some views of the whole plant would be helpful.
As far as the white stuff goes. What kind of supplements are you giving it? Are you foliage feeding? And has it been raining on it a good amount?

White flies maybe?
Thanks for the responses everyone.
In terms of care I'm not foliage feeding only giving FF big bloom every other watering. She's in amended composted soil and has needed very little fertilizer throughout. Im in south Florida so humidity is very high and it rains often, however she does not get directly rained on. I'm actually amazed she's done so well considering she only gets about 2 hours of direct sunlight a day. Grows slow but grows none the less. I'll post some pics of the full plant later today.

That is for sure a woolly aphid. I have them all around my area.

They are most likely the " cast skins" of aphids that are in your citrus tree.
I'm thinking woolly aphids or cast skins of aphids might be the winner. I'm gunna do some searching when I get home and see what I find. Thanks again everyone.
PS: the white spots on the bottom leaves are from a while back when my girlfriend sprayed with baking soda mixture That was too concentrated.
