So idk whats this is on top of my soil. I use mykos but i thought it would be in the soil.

Can not really tell can you turn the lights off and take new pictures?

That could be mico? hows the humidity in the grow space? And yes pictures in natural lighting is best for diagnosis.

-- fungal mycelia for sure.... might be staying too wet too long Carl, if you can, let the surface soil dry out more, and get better air circulation across the pots... you can nail it with any number of crop-safe antifungals,...

Heres a better shot of it. I do water it alot since its coco. The humidity is 29%at about 78-82° so i should run a fan at the bottom of my smart pots?

-oy! --the pic tells the tale, mate that's some form of powdery mildew hitting the stems and leaves! It can happen even if your tent ambient T and RH are okay.. it the proximity to the constant, high moisture/RH spots that can still promote it,... problem is, the spores are for all practical purposes, present all the times, everywhere, like dust...just looking for that perfect spot! ---So, no way around it: time to cut the infected parts off, and treat the rest; dip your scissors into alcohol, then gently slip the infected parts into a baggie, then cut the stem near the base...dip, cut, dip, cut until all the visually suspect parts are removed,... Treat with pure neem oil (coco surface too), or some other food safe fungicide,... there are some products like Serenade, which are biological control agents (bacteria), which are very effective....Serenade stinks like hell for a couple days though! And yes, a gentle cross breeze will help make proximity conditions less favorable,... Cheers Carl, thanks for the rep' too!

I just used what i had left of organicide and some new omri listed stuff from walmart. 7 day intervels. When should i continue watering my plants again?

..you're since you're in coco, best stay with your schedule ...

 

[carl brutananadilewski]

O it wont dilute the fungicide?

 

[Waira]

...don't water right away, so it has time to kill the mildew,... reapply as directed!
