I could use the advise of more experienced growers please. I think this may be some form of fungus but I’m not positive.I really appreciate all the help the group provides.
Also should I defoliate for better air circulation or get a second fan?
Fox Farm Trio used only twice and I just started Cal-Mag+.
Tap water used at ph 7.0
Thanks!

The second to elastics looks like it could be WPM (White powdery mildew) but the others look like a bug might be muting on them… sot see them you would need a good loupe or scope… you have to look for a while especially underneath the leaves.

Agree with Caligurl could be PM also definitely signs of thrips. There are many remedies for them. Just personal preference.

Welcome ! I also see signs of white powdery mildew if not already increase air flow in the tent. Watch humidity level. Add a couple circulating fan.

Will do. Thanks for the response. I’ll google WPM removal too.

I have dealt with it a couple times outside grow late fall of the Year lot of rain an high humidity. I mix 50/50 water and peroxide lightly Mist affected area. Airflow will be your plants best friend.

Yes like @kellydans said about the H2O2… Honestly for the bugs, I would use something like Dr. Zymes or Captn Jacks Dead Bug… it is safe to use through flower while Neem oil is not.

@Funkytwobucks Overall your plant looks happy. Get the white powdery mildew under control keep airflow going you should finish up with a nice plant. Do you have a exhaust fan system to pull the hot stale air out the top of the tent ? If so increase the speed a little on the fan.

I also second on a bit of thrip presence
One of my plants had them early on and since been rid of by predators thankfully but it did cause the plant to also create these growths called galls
Almost looks like a tiny tumor
I was gonna try and get a pic but since manicuring my plant I believe those leaves were trimmed off
Gotta get them early on they can be much harder to get rid of than aphids because of their mobility and they dig out plant tissue in new growth areas to lay their eggs

Hi, I have a 4inch exhaust fan with filter running at 100%.
I’ve been using a clip on fan but added another fan today. Hoping this covers me.
Thank you

Do You run your exhaust fan 24/7 . And two circulating fans you should be good to go.

Everything runs 24/7 but the light. Neem oils says use everyday for a week so like I do with nutrients, I’ll cut that in half.

I really think your best bet for thrips is natural predators…nothing you spray is going to get into every little fold like they can
And they also eat the eggs and disrupt their life cycle
I’ve only used a product called grow safe
It’s natural plant oils but that was for aphids and it worked for them …as I said thrips are different and can lay eggs in multiple places
Aphids pretty much eat crap and give birth in place that’s why plain water spray works as good as any pesticide
Have you inspected closely for any kind of pests with a loupe or the like?
I’d recommend taking that step first really look everywhere
Under leaves
In the cracks you need a magnifying device with a light even in the daytime
You’ll see what belongs and what doesn’t then take it from there
Best thing to do is exactly identify the problem rather than throw a bunch of general remedies at it …

I noticed the second fan dropped the RH from 65% to 53%!! That should help too.
