How to get the diatomaceous earth off my plant leafs

[Jay1245]

How do I get the diatomaceous earth off my plant leafs it looks like I have powder mildew and I don’t can someone please help me make my girls look beautiful again
the video is before I put the diatomaceous earth on them and now they look like powder mildew on them

[PeterMatanzas]

I don't see DE. Did you spray DE on the plant? If "yes", DE doesn't matter. No big deal in veg state. It will stick to sticky buds though.

[Jay1245]

Why can’t I get it off my leafs

[Jay1245]

Anyone got any advice

[Jay1245]

I spayed it all over my plants but now it won’t get off my leafs and my plants look like they have powder mildew on them like my plants look amazing before I put the diatomaceous earth stuff on them

[PeterMatanzas]

There's no DE on your plant. Those white marks on the leaves look like dried nutrient solution. The white particles you see on soil surface are either perlite or vermiculite.

[Jay1245]

I just got the diatomaceous earth of the top of my soil and clean my tent up that’s why there is no diatomaceous earth stuff in my pots I sprayed it in to the soil cuz I don’t have any more gnats so I flushed it through the soil lol

[Jay1245]

No bro I just flushed the diatomaceous earth stuff through my plants bro I’m not that stupid frfr I sent you a private message

[Jay1245]

Peter private message me I’m still learning how to use this chat stuff on here

[PeterMatanzas]

ok, will do

[Jay1245]

Ok well I will be waiting for a message I apologize for not knowing how to use this app or website I’m sorry I don’t like to sound rude or anything I just don’t know how to use this site yet

[PeterMatanzas]

that's ok, I didn't know about the Notifications here until I saw the highlighted text and realized I've been ignoring people.

[Jay1245]

LOL yeah I’m still trying to figure this chat and comments stuff I’m just trying to help my plants I didn’t have any spots the I just watered them nice drench but not crazy with it but a good spray down and lights was off so not water burns or anything I wake up the next day and there is white spots all over my plants so I say ok spray them again and just left the lights off for 20 minutes with the tent open and the stuff won’t come off the leafs and it’s really frustrating when you know you didn’t have any thing going on other than the gnats and now this white spots all over after I have sprayed my plants 4 or 5 time in 2 days

[Jay1245]

See I put the diatomaceous earth stuff on and

[Jay1245]

What do I need to do any help

[dphipps1020]

That looks like just water spots from watering your plants, left over minerals from your water. Next time you water, gently wipe your leaves and those spots should be gone when it dries.

[Jay1245]

Yeah I have tried that a few times already and the dang spots come right back after it dries like I’m so frustrated cuz I had no problems then gnats got the stuff for them got rid of them try to clean my plants and make them look good and I can not get them to go away and I didn’t have any spots before I put that’s gnat stuff on them and just really don’t know what else to do if anyone has any advice I could really use some and if I have tried it already I’ll be happy to let you know so maybe we can come up with anything else cuz I’m starting to get the feeling I’m just shit out of luck and not waste my time and that’s time lost just sucks but any help is wanted

[dphipps1020]

If it's not coming off then I wouldn't worry about it. It's purely cosmetic anyway and the new growth won't have it on there. Just keep it growing and if you start to notice any other issues, come back and we'll be happy to help.

[Jay1245]

Like I don’t know what it is I spay them down and the spots just come back is it powder mildew I’m so confused right now and my plants look as if I still have the diatomaceous earth stuff on them it won’t go away I’m really frustrated cuz I Didn’t have any problems before I used this product I’m not saying it has anything to do with it but just a little disappointed with this situation I am in cuz I don’t know what to do I’m so confused right now

[dphipps1020]

I already answered that, just let it grow. Keep an eye on it and if it gets worse let us know.

[Jay1245]

I just posted new pictures of them they don’t look good

[Jay1245]

Like what is going on I’m so confused right now and I don’t know what to do this really really really sucks they was doing so good any advice

[PeterMatanzas]

I have never seen DE sprayed all over a plant deliberately. Sometimes I’ll apply it to dry surface soil but that takes care because the DE is so fine there could be a dust storm of it.

Is that food grade diatomaceous earth?

[PeterMatanzas]

If that plant recovers call it a miracle.

[Jay1245]

Yeah y was I not Supposed to get food grade

[PeterMatanzas]

SMH and sigh in resignation
