HELP! unknown plant growth

[DaveMac39]

My Dream Queen clones (8 weeks into bloom) are starting to develop little white fuzzy balls on top of the tallest colas. Doesn't look like mites or insects. Through a loop they look like trichomes . I have never seen it before. (4 grow veteran, 1st time with Dream Queen) Plants grown in commercial potting soil in grow bags with FoxFarm ferts. and Advanced Platinum Series P300 LED light.

I have had bleached tips using HID before. Not buying it all, but interesting.

That is bleached from light stress, i e, you keep your led panel too close to the plants. Have had that happening to my own plants at the beginning of my led growing days.

Damn! I really learned a valuable lesson here! I have fought to keep this NOT happening in my garden, such as turning down the LED drivers to 80-85%..Thanx for the link!

This was what I strongly believed in, and tried my best to avoid... Now I know better... At least I will try and pursue that trait in my coming grows and make up my own mind about it. I add a photo of this phenomenon from my garden a couple of years ago.. I have had more visible and substantial events than the pictire, but I couldn't find any pictures of it.
