This is my vivosun humidifier prob data the plant had no reason to have fungus from the humidity or bad air circulation I have the exhaust the 2 clip fans where they should be and I do a flush every 7 days new clean bucket new nutrients soaking stones clean and dry before replacing in resievor (the walls were cleaned the floor the pre filter changed the fans cleaned the clay pebbles swapped out for clean the air pump is 4 valves 2 go 1 and another 2 go to the other 2 valves per stone one stone a bucket pump is on max
Also baking soda in the tent gets (not enough to overwhelm) swapped every 1-2 weeks
 
Looks like pm to me as well, and put down the the shears.........them poor plants😢
Ya so vague thanks and I've done everything to get rid of it weeks ago that was supposed to stop it from spreading that's why I'm asking because it should be gone if it was PM I did a full clean of my system short of just starting over and I weekly sterilize

I have PM on a couple ornamental plants around my property. Never got it inside the shed (yet! Fingers crosssed) i stay waaaay away from them when I’ve got the outdoor going along with before i go in my shed. New clothes before i enter if i have been working in the yard at all before hand.
 
This is two plants in one side of my 4x8 tent. 29 days since flip to 12/12. They've never been topped but have been de-leafed once, but they need it again now that stretch has slowed. Point being is that plants need their leaves. It's a common misconception that they rob nutrients from the buds; in fact it's the exact opposite - the leaves provide nutrition to the buds through photosynthesis and the absorption of co2.

PM will not be gone, it invades the cell structure and multiplies. What you see is conidia, mature spots that release spores and spread to everything in your tent.
Link to a more complete explanation. (I apologize if you already know all this, just trying to help)
Powdery Mildew

Ya I have come to the conclusion and cleaned each individual area with q tip dipped in food grade hydrogen peroxide 3% then sprayed the canopy with water HP mix after and wiped walls and floor tomorrow res change I'll clean the net pod and pebbles again at this point I'm just trying to make it to harvest without it taking hold of the buds it's a grind now
 
I see why you were concerned as with the better photoes you took, the white looked patchy on the leaves and that is exactly what white powdery mildew looks like.

But just because something looks obvious doesn't make it so. One of the patches you zoomed in on in the original photos was just a trichome cluster. So it very well could just be patchy trichome growth, and the way you will tell is looking up close, because mildew doesn't grow clear stalks with bulbs on the end.

The defoliation was a rescue from fungus AI is a shity helper if that's all you have for help and It doesn't always give good advice for the situation

Ya I need a microscope

I have discovered that AI easily gets caught up in assumptions just like humans, and it's flaw is not stopping and asking you for additional context at certain points to properly guide you to the information you're looking for.

What kind of strain are you running,? How far are you along? You have peers here on the farm.. some of us are here to help each other out. As long as people are willing to listen and accept criticism when asking for help. Some don't understand when someone is new and trying new things. A mild question, why did you defoliate your plant so hard? Maybe on the next one hold back a little or alot? And see what happens. You want leaves, just not covering nodes or bloom sights and on the lower of the stock. And with that light you can't tell a thing. We don't know if you used some kind of foilar spray or what. Identifying an issue you need light to see, it will not cause an issue. Believe us, we don't care if you think you know what your doing, most of us here have history in the cannabis industry in some way, and have years of experience. You want help, you're gonna need to take a pic with a flash from the camera.
Check the feed I did

Ya I have to prie out the information I'm actually looking for takes like 20 mins to actually get to something useful with DeepSeek
 
I'll throw this out there not sure if it was brought up earlier in the thread but if you start finding WPM patches, Neem oil is amazingly effective at knocking it down. Folks tend to recommend you stay away from it when you're in flower to avoid affecting taste and smell. But sometimes you have to sacrifice something in order to save everything. Sulfer is also effective, but if you were looking for the lesser of two evils, definitely stay away from the sulfer. It helps make terps in the soil, but wipes them out on the plant itself.
