[cigarettes42]

can someone look at these pics please. on some of my leaves it appears to have small white circular patches on the leaves. ive seen these patches for some time now and nothing has changed. ive rubbed on the patches and it barely came off still being there. the plants are in about 30days of vegetation. im just worried cause im almost ready to throw it in the 12/12 cycle and i dont want my bud later to turn into mushy mold.

I'm no expert but it looks like the mold you get in damp conditions. It may not be deadly to the plants, but if it was me I'd remove the leaves as soon as I saw anything that resembled the sort of mold/dampness that I'd expect to see.

Mold usually has a "damp" smell about it, because in damp conditions we smell mold (and thus associate the smell of mold with dampness - i think ), does it smell like that?

there is no damp smell at all and i have a strong 8 inch inline fan running full blast and a passive intake. the only way to get rid of it is cutting the leaves? cause i think im going to have to cut a lot. oh thanks for the quick responce

Powdery mildew. More pix would be great, But if u find patches i would say for sure thats what it is. Dont cut off the leaves dude! Get urself 3 in 1 defender, or organicide.

This sort of issue if it is in fact powdery mildew is not just a surface issue on the plant its also internal.

Oh one last thing if u go with the 3 in one defender use a wetting agent Earth juice makes one along with dozens others this will help alot. GL!

Looks like the beginnings of Powdery Mildew.

the above link contains non poisonous controls for powdery mildew.

I haven't ever had powdery mildew on cannas, but I have treated zuccinni plants effectively with full cream milk, lightly sprayed on the plants once a week.

what is full cream milk? whole vitamin D milk? you think i should dilute it?

no idea, but dilluting is going to mean less damage in case it is too strong for the plant
