I’d avoid spraying buds best you can.

Depends on the spray. But you could get a bad taste. You're better off just letting them go. Might be some damaged leaves but you will still get some buds.

Late now, but next outdoor grow you should begin a early regiment against caterpillars. Your buds look great but keep an eye out for tiny little caterpillars crawling on them. Earlier in the growth cycle moths probably laid eggs at night. Especially like in June. The caterpillars will hatch and wrap themselves up in leaves. They cause bud rot as they crawl through it and munch away leaving their poop behind. Spray Monterey BT or equivalent up until late veg / early flower as a preventative against them. BT is not a contact killer. The caterpillars half to eat it from the leaves. Once in flower you don’t spray buds. At least I don’t.

I was thinking of spraying 3 in 1 on a Q tip or something and wiping the leaves. It be hard not to spray the buds by accident there are so many.
thanks

They are more active at night. So get out there. And supposedly a cheap UV light Will expose them. If you have caterpillars. Always Helps to know what the hell you are spraying for.

IMO some strains just look like that, the Chemdog I'm currently growing is blotchy as can be & is in fine health. 🤷

Phil-
I wandered into this conversation just moments ago (now 7/16, 12:30pm). Saw the problem right off, I've seen it before in my own grow.
It's powdery mildew. Get rid of it w/spray of 1 tsp whole milk in a cup of water, top/bottom/sides, even the buds. Next day, spray with clear water, and resume life as usual.

Thanks, I've been told some different things. If you read the thread here I was told if it was mildew it would wipe off. It doest wipe off.

Phil-
Yep, I read that - and the whole thread - before I responded.
I'm here to learn, not to debate or argue. On the basis of your photo and description, I have told what I think will be useful to you.
Do whatever you wish. Have a good life.

I neglected to add a bit of advice I offer newbies: Based on my experience (growing since 1972, out and in, under several light systems and with several nutrient systems): The hardest thing you'll have to deal with is filtering the gems of wisdom from the heaps of bullshit that folks want to shovel at you in response to any question that arises, and the characters who shout the loudest about theirs being THE ONLY right answer are the ones most full of it.
Thank you, and good day.

Thanks, Yes I've heard many different things and as my first grow (4 plants) its frustrating getting so many contradicting advice. I didnt mean to offend anyone but as you mentioned filtering the what is BS and not is half the battle on this forum. I just don't want to F up the effort I put in so far as I have some pretty nice buds going. What I did do...and please reply if you think I messed up, is bought some 3 in 1 spray that takes care of bugs and fungus. Since I was told both. I didnt spray it on the plants but I sprayed some in a cup and used a artist paint brush and bushed on each leaf that was affected. I did that last night at dusk. Today they pretty much looked the same except the white stuff was pretty much spread thinner but more uniform on the leaf. Thanks for the reply and please let me know what you suggests after what I did. Did I possibly mess up?

your seeing what I'm seeing. Getting closer not any different and I don't have an electron microscope that takes Photos. Magnifying glass looks the same too. Thanks
