White on my leaves

Hello everyone, I hope all are doing well. I just noticed some white on a few leaves. I thought it might just be bird shit because I don’t believe it was there yesterday and I was able to clean it off with just water, but I know I’ve heard Downey mentioned before. I hope it’s not mold. This girl is really starting to flower nicely

Let’s try it again


I forgot that there is a limit on how many pics one can download. Sorry about that

Can you rub the white off with your fingers? It looks like it might be powdery mildew.

Looks likely a low flyer dropped on your plant.:wink:

And do Not use downey on your plants for mold or anything else for that matter.
Far too many chemicals / perfumes may not wash off.
If it does come back and prove to be mold then you can use a 50/50 mix of 3% peroxide and water. It will kill what it lands on but won’t keep it away.
Just keep an eye on it for a few days to see if anything comes back where you wiped it off previously.
:v:

I have the same thing on my White Widow outside. I think it was a bird. Never progressed and didn’t start as small spots. Just appeared. I had them close to a mulberry tree that went crazy with berries this year so birds and squirrels were pretty much overhead a lot of times. I’ve moved them and haven’t had anything since. The spots are still there but have faded.

Kinda, but I used a little water on my fingers and it came pretty much right off

Thanks for the info and I definitely will

I hope that’s what it is too. Like you said it just appeared. I didn’t notice it last night when I put them to bed
