I'm sure everyone's first thought is white powdery mildew. Mine was too, but I'm still skeptical. I live in Santa Clara County, California, so my area is pretty dry. Also, the city I live in is known for having hard water with lots of minerals in it. Faucets will have white calcium build-up around where the water comes out when if there is no water-softener to help filter everything out. This is why I'm not sure if it's mold. I didn't use any kind of filter when watering my plants.
This is a soil grow with 7 gal Smart Pots. I used the Fox Farms nutrient trio. I never went above half strength. Towards the end of the grow I've been giving nutrients every watering before flushing for a couple weeks after. The strain is Critical Mass.
What do you guys think?
Some general pics:
The plants will have water drops on them in the morning. The drops will be gone by mid-day. Here are some before/after pics taken a day apart:
