PM or insects?

[Buddskii]

Hey All
This time around I'm a little confused as to what the white stains are as I do know what PM is and I've dealt with it many times. But this white stuff on my leaves are kind of different. It doesn't wipe off and it's not powdery. It's like an actual milk stain that looks and feels permanent . Am I missing something here? Is it a different form of PM?
Or could it be traces of a certain insect? I have found a couple of cob-webs in my fan leaves that I have removed.
Any help is appreciated
Peace

It looks like it's in your water. Heavy chlorine, calcium, etc.. Im not an expert on this.

Looks like you have spilled something on them it's dried and left a residue!

Doesn’t appear to be insects. Hard to get a good perspective, but it does look like something was spilled, but other areas look a bit suspect for PM. Are those the only leaves involved?

Edit: Does it rub off?

 

[Carcass]

If it had a little more substance to it, I'd say bird shit...
but that's not it....
Is it next to/under a roof, that could be dripping on it from morning dew?

 

[Vegan4life]

Looks like bird poop ... Maybe... I'd get a spray bottle with some fresh water and see if it washes it off

I thought it looked like poo as well LOL
No birds inside tent.
You make a good point though with the morning dew. Could be.

It's on approximately 5 or 6 leaves.
It doesn't rub off.

Anyone here know of Cyclone Fungicide?

 

[Sueet]

Not familiar with Cyclone. But I will say that is definitely not PM.

Indirectly. I have not used it or done any in depth research but it involves citric acid and lactic acid (present as fermentation products of "Lactobacillus casei" strain.

Have you used it? Or are you thinking of using it?

And have you sprayed or applied anything recently for any sort of problem?

t's on approximately 5 or 6 leaves.

Have you tried with a wet towel?

No birds in the tent sounds normal. But morning dew in the tent is not good. If it is wet in the tent at morning or lights on time then the overnight or light off humidity is way to high.

I’d say bird poop look underneath for any solids. Birds digest totally different than humans so there may not be any solids. Are you along the coast? Looks like seagull to me.

No birds can get in the tent. Top is covered...

Haven't tried a wet towel yet. Doing that later on today. I haven't used Cyclone yet either. That will be my last resort, if needed.
I have treated my leaves with pure neem oil diluted in water as a foliar spray to control the insects but that was after this issue with the stains and not before. So that didn't cause the white stains. I will try to wipe off with water/towel and go from there and see if it comes back. There has been high humidity and alot of smog from the wildfires happening. Maybe this has something to do with it.
Thanks for the reply!

Is it possible that it’s something that you have been feeding or watering? CL Edit: that you maybe dripped on the leaves?

 

[Buddskii]

Hmm... maybe a stranger sneaked inside the tent when I wasn't around and saw my beautiful ladies sitting there all naked and the person got excited, left their mark, and left... ???
*jks*

That would be one VERY excited person

And the first thing that came to mind was Excitable Boy by the late great Warren Zevon..

Now off to load up a youtube copy of the song and listen to it while looking at other msgs.
