    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.

        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.

        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

              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.

                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.

              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

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

                  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?

                    If that plant recovers call it a miracle.
