Pm or salt buildup? (Clone)

I have been told 2 different things now.
I bought a cheap spray cloner and during the 2 weeks had a few clones tip here and there letting water spray out for a bit before I would notice it. (The spots for the pucks is larger so it doesn’t hold the pucks in tight)

today while putting in cups I noticed some of the lower fan leaves had some white residue on the bottom of the stem. Thought nothing of it until I got to one that had it on top of a lower leaf. (Of 24 clones 5 had it on a lower stem and 2 had it on a lower leaf.In 2 different areas of cloner both of which had a clone tip during night so got sprayed on for a while)

It is also on most pucks and there is some white on the cloner as well which leads me to think it’s salt build up, but I was told no it’s pm and to trash them and everything else in the room.
The one with the open puck and the one with it on leaves were next to each other.

Its mold of some sort. im pretty sure its pm. Thats the only reason ill never use an EZcloner again.

Im sure some of that is just hard water stains but the rest is mold. remove the affected leaves and clean the area real good , mainly the cloner. toss that to the side and carry on. Maybe spray the clones with peroxide to try an kill whats on them.

Get to it right away. Neem oil was the only thing i had on me an it seemed to do the job AFTER getting the cloner out of the room so i would not introduce more mold into the area.

would pm or another mold become unable to be seen like harder water does when sprayed? I lightly sprayed with Neem and as soon as it became wet I can no longer see it.

that water is just covering it up, you will probably still see it when it dries out.

It was in the cloner. The room is only 35% RH and 78 degrees and it has has fans on it. Last thing I expected was a mild. Just in case I cut off the affected leaves (couldn’t cut the spot on stem) and sprayed the spots with it with Neem.

Get some potassium bicarbonate and some Southern Ag Garden Friendly Fungicide, then alternate between those and the neem weekly up until buds are forming. The thing about PM is that it's insidious and systemic, so even if you knock it down, it might reappear. Since you KNOW you have it, you can stay ahead of it, good luck!
