Hello,

Have some white spots showing up on some leaves. The leaves with the spots are turning yellow. The spots arent fuzzy like mold, but it still looks a lot like mod to me. Should I cut off the effected leaves? Anything I can apply to stop it form spreading?

Thanks!

Hi Nopumpkins:
I,ve tried liquied copper 2 tbl spons per gallon to supress the spread of it,but it doesnot kill the mildew.Ijust tried baking soda and neem oil also 2 of each per gallon,seems to be working,right now im trying just the baking soda and 1 tbl spoon clorox bleach on 1 or 2 leafs,if it works i,ll let ya know.John

it sounds like powdery mildew. there's some posts about it in the new growers forum.

I got white spots from applying a foliar fertilizer that was too strong. They eventually turned yellow and into dead patches on the leaf. I think as long as there is some green in the leaf it's worth keeping. Good luck
