White on Veins
What is happening? This is on a few of my tomato plants. Just looks like white along veins...

That's a new one. Have you been spraying anything on the leaves?

Nothing has been sprayed...I think on another plant some of the white was a little more diffuse in some spots not just along veins (if I am recalling correctly) I couldn't wipe it off; It almost seemed like I could just rub it off, but nope.

My first thought was fungus. But there is full turgor so no cell disruption. Note that the white also traces the stems.
I've seen veinal chlorosis in the case of pH- suppressed nutrient uptake, but it ain't that. I'm stumped.

The pH-suppressed, (in normal cases of that) would that be low or high pH? |

Seriously, it looks like a dust or something, but it isn't.

What's that little glob of white stuff on the upper left leaf?

OK, it won't rub off. How about paint? It sounds and looks like watered down latex paint got dumped on the plant and it dried.

Nope, it's not paint either lol. And if it was it wouldn't be so perfect in the veins... Someone on a FB page suggested powdery mildew. Linked back to a saferbrand page. It sort of resembled it on there, but nowhere else do I find powdery mildew that looks like this, I checked the cooperative extension search engine too. Powdery mildew is supposed to be white spots and that isn't what mine looks like. But I will check on plants tomorrow and if it's sunny I am going to go ahead and do a milk and water spray.
