can out door plants get mold? my plants have a white fuzz or powdery looking stuff that is slowly becoming more present on my plants. If it is mold or fungus what can i do to prevent it from spreading? Is there an organic solution to this problem because i am trying to stay away from nasty chemicals? any advice would be greatly appreciated.
is it crystals? a pic would really help
You have Powdery Mildew and yes I have it on a couple of my outdoor plants that get plenty of light and the wind is always blowing. If its on a couple leafs only just clip them off AND don't touch anything more than you have to and wash your hands good. What kind of summer do you have where you live? If you have a high humidity % through the summer you may have a big problem. I was told to use some water and baking soda mixture but not any buds.Quote:

here are some picks of that damn white stuff
definitely chop those off bro, besides, shade leaves suck, i always clip mine off to let the other branches get a chance, ends up doing a similar thing to topping, but u still have the main cola. oh yeah, and for all of you veteran growers, how long does it usually take ur plants to start becoming nice and crystally after you've switched to 12/12?
