    Like DKN, said disinfect your tent after after each grow, You have got to get something to monitor your humidity an temp with if you ain't got one, that mold sh-t Can come from your pet's an lots of other places. Some say uv light will help prevent it . That mold can lay up in a dormant state an pop up anytime if you don't disinfect your tent.

      White Powdery Mold is typically caused by stagnant, hot, humid air. What's the temperature and humidity in your tent? Can you give us a picture of your setup with the plants and fans so we can see if there may be a way to improve the airflow? Is the WPM striking a particular part of the plant (for example it's common at the very edges of the tent because those leaves tend to get less airflow)? If the plant is very bushy/leafy, it can sometimes help to defoliate the inside of the plant a little, so there are fewer leaves adding water to the air and to help more air get through the inside of the plant and prevent stagnant pockets of air.

      If you're trying to get rid of a current infection, I've had good luck using SM-90 as a foliar spray with a mister at 1 part SM-90 to 5 parts water. It smells good and kills the WPM overnight.
