How to Completely Eradicate
White Powdery Mildew
by Sirius Fourside

Have you seen white spots on your leaves? Are your leaves dusted with round patches of powder that looks like flour?
|
If so, you’re most likely dealing with White Powdery Mildew, also known as White Powdery Mold or just “WPM” to cannabis growers.
White Powdery Mildew is usually a minor annoyance that can be easily fixed, but if you don’t catch it early, WPM can turn into a catastrophe that ruins an entire marijuana harvest!
For those who haven’t experienced WPM, imagine circular patches of a living, breathing, fuzzy, flour-looking substance showing up on your plant’s leaves without any warning. From there, the mildew can easily spread to other leaves and buds, rendering the buds unusable.
You’ll see “powder” on your leaves…
White Powdery Mildew has such an easy time spreading that even careful growers who take proper precautions can still experience it.
Luckily, the issue in the picture above was easily resolved because it was caught early and because White Powdery Mildew is completely reversible up to a point.
This article will arm you with the information to stop WPM’s proliferation before it even has a chance to take hold!
What IS White Powdery Mildew?
White Powdery Mildew is a rapidly reproducing (both sexually AND asexually) fungus who only knows how to do two things:
- Eat your plants
- Make more White Powdery Mildew
Fortunately, White Powdery Mildew is easy to spot since it creates white patches of fungal growth that stand out against the green leaves of a cannabis plant.
It can be removed from plants with proper treatment if spotted early on, but any buds with WPM should be discarded as they most likely contain many more spores than your eyes can see.
There are only things left in this article, but they are important:
If you got this far, you definitely don't want to miss the conclusion!
White Powdery Mildew is a joke
...when you have the right tools!
|
WPM is seen as one of the gentler cannabis pests since you have so much time to combat it without facing any real consequences.
However, it can be fatal to your plants if left unchecked!
Fortunately, a quick leaf-wiping and a single spray treatment is normally enough to completely wipe out a White Powdery Mildew infestation.
Just use one of the products we recommend and it'll be gone for good by the next morning!

"I also wanted to say, this site is my grow bible. Y'all are amazing and I know I would not have had a successful grow without you. When I decided to start growing I found this site and read almost every article. Now I'm the "grow guru" amongst my friends. Thank you, thank you so much for all the work you've put into this wonderful hub of information. It gave me the knowledge and the confidence I needed to start growing which not only produces excellent bud but
is also a stress reducing process. Thank you again. You're an amazing soul 💚"

This reader also wanted to point out that soap+water can be effective at killing spidermites. That's a good point to make; insecticidal soaps are effective at killing several types of pests!
