DESCRIPTION

WHO CAUSES IT?

Powdery mildew, also known as powdery mildew, is a fungal disease caused by various fungi of the genus Oidium. These fungi are common pathogens that can infect a wide variety of plants, including cannabis. Powdery mildew manifests itself as a white or grayish powder that appears on the leaves, stems and flowers of infected plants.

SYMPTOMS

In cannabis, powdery mildew can cause a number of symptoms, including the formation of white or grayish Taches on leaves, stems and flowers, as well as general weakening of the plant. As the disease progresses, the Taches can merge and cover large areas of the plant, negatively affecting its ability to photosynthesize and ultimately its health and performance.
