Found this on some of my seedlings. Is would wipe off if I touched it. Leaves seemed a little curled too. Any ideas what it could be?

I was googling because i hadn’t seen this before. Seems like theres a few reddit posts from.other people and they said it was probably powdery mildew. One post even had their garden center check it. I usually see that on leaves, but thats what they said. Try spraying it with some dilluted whole milk. If thats what it is, there’s something in the milk that treats it.

This is not fungal. It is almost definitely edema. The plant is taking more water than it can transpire. Try reducing watering and improving airflow. This is more common early in the season, so temperature might be a factor too.
