When you’re growing bountiful cannabis flowers there may be potential obstacles you need to solve, especially if you discover white spots on cannabis leaves.
White spots on cannabis leaves can mean you have mold, fungus, or mildew spreading spores in the air that affect your plants.
As a grower, it’s best to figure out a solution to combat the problem before it wreaks havoc on all your plants.
We are going to explain in further detail the problem and how to combat it.Â
What Does It Mean To Have White Spots On Cannabis Leaves?
White spots on cannabis leaves are the result of mildew, mold, or fungus spreading their contaminated spores in the air surrounding plants. When this happens, leaves appear to show a white powdery substance.
It can ruin the cannabis growth cycle if they get out of control. The mold and fungus thrive in moist humid environmental conditions, especially if the plants are indoors.
As you grow indoors, you need to manage the climate control and minimize any moisture or humidity in the air. Cannabis plants thrive at 68 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit that’s an ideal room temperature.
Signs Of White Spots On Leaves
There are some signs of white spots on plant leaves you should know about.
Signs of white spots on leaves:
- White spots appear powdery on the leaves.
- Leaves turning yellow or brown.
- Leaves dry out.
- White spots spread to other areas.
- Leaves, buds, and plant tips are disformed.
These are some signs to look out for in growing your cannabis plants. Mold may disrupt the plant’s growth and cause severe damage.
It can be hard to decide whether white spots occur from a pest or a fungus. By looking closely at your plants and seeing if they match any of the signs listed above, you can decide if your plants have mildew or not.Â
How To Treat White Spots On Leaves?
To combat white spots on leaves, you should consider using a natural treatment, removing severely affected areas on foliage, minimizing humidity in the environment, and applying crop solutions designed to kill mold or mildew.
When treating white spots on leaves, make sure to level out the humidity levels by shutting down fans and adjusting the temperature. Then apply a solution to the affected areas. If your plants aren’t improving and are too badly infected then trim the areas needed.
Can You Prevent White Spots On Leaves?
You can prevent white spots on leaves by making sure the humidity levels and environment are suitable for cannabis plants to thrive but hard for mold or mildew to occur. White spots occur when the plants are exposed to humidity and moisture.
Growing cannabis plants can be challenging, especially if you’re a new grower. They can attract many pests, mold, and deficiencies that prohibit the plant’s growth.
It’s best to prepare to combat white spots on leaves and find solutions to get your plant back to health.
You may receive bountiful buds long-term when you take extra care of your cannabis plants.
