Looks like you have some suspicious areas I would like close ups of if you can?
It’s the whiter shaded areas, that I think you’re referring to.
At first glance, there are a shit ton of trichomes, no doubt, but I don’t know if it’s the camera angle, or it’s actually shaded whitish.

Always lurking, and I’ve seen WPM, and fought it, so I had to weigh in. It was a struggle, I wouldn’t want others to fight alone.

Okay, you edited. Got me. Lol. Those do looks suspiciously like wpm, very small spots. No baking soda or foliar were sprayed earlier?
What’s the RH?

I’ve been doing some reading, and there is several options. I have sprayed hydrogen Prock side of my plants in the past for different reasons I think.

Peroxide doesn’t leave a white residue that I can recall.

It didn’t in the past. Nothing has been sprayed on this one.

40% RH is respectable. If you have a dehumidifier, I would drop that RH 10% or more if you can. With treatments and running my dehumidifier balls out, was how I ultimately solved my wpm issue.
Some growers will use peroxide and baking soda separately to treat wpm. Baking soda drops the ph on the leaves and makes wpm less desirable to grow on. I don’t know how much I believe that, but possible. Spores are always present, it’s the environment that ultimately prevents it from growing.

10/4
I’ll add the dehumidifier now! And start the treatment process.
Truly appreciate your help

Also, with the application of baking soda, it makes it difficult to spot wpm in the future, so I don’t recommend using it for this reason.

I’m thinking peroxide.
Makes more sense to me.

So true… sometimes it’s difficult to keep things regulated. I’m surprised with the low temps I’ve been running…

Correct. Peroxide is best, doesn’t leave a residue. But depending on the stage when applied, can stall flowering, it will turn your pistils brown a little earlier usual.

I’ll keep this In mind. Day one flower was 10/4 I believe.

Seems to be less prevalent in my opinion in warmer temps, it seems to prefer cooler temps.
