Whoa on the diagnosis, I would wait on that Maxy, you should give a bit more info, are they moving? does it look like little spider webs with white flecks, or is it mildew, you should grab a good picture of it.

That could be a couple things causing that. I recently battled some powdery mildew, that was little white specks

check the undersides of your leaves. look very closely to see if you see little things walking around under your leaves. if you see that you have mites and they must be killed!

Definitely sounds like mites which are soooooo easy to confirm...they live on teh leaf underside. I keep a self lit 6x book reading scope specifically to confirm diagnosis of this sort and to take a closer look at anything I think may be a problem. They're like $10 at a decent book store. Early flower Floramite or Avid. The No Pest Strips work great IF you shut off air flow lights off...assuming you have an 'open' system. I don't like bombs as I've seen em almost kill plants. The main problem is the carrier which is petroleum distillates...pretty much fuel like gasoline...no wonder the plants didn't like em. When it comes to mites I hit em hard and fast with a few different treatments. I fear no mite.

www.hidhut.com for small quantities of Floramite, Avid and you can even get spinosad from the Hut.

So Maxyeild, i've got the same looking thing. BRIGHT white looking sawdust like speckles on leaves randomly throughout... i brought a ez clone into my environment 2 weeks before... found white salt build-up looking mold on it (i think)...

I can spot a mite from a mile away, not mites. and i looked through thrips and doesn't look like that or any other bug...

i've been through PM devastation and am certain this is not the case...

I've used a light application of Eagle 20 and it is still present...

I first noticed it on my 4 week old veg. when one of the tops was too close to a fan and collecting a dust like substance on it and curling... but then notice more tops on the plants were curling over as well, then noticed the BRIGHT white speckles everywhere?!?!

WHAT IS THIS, does anyone have a clue?!
