Echevaria woes

I have three echevaria, and two of them, my firecracker and my black prince, are showing some weirdness. What are these spots on them, and why is my black one stretching? They were all in windows, in the east, then the south. Should I behead the stretched one?

Looks like they want more light. They tend to lean towards the light when they want more

I could be wrong, but the first pic looks just like my Pachyveria Royal Flush. Looks like it needs a bit more water.

The fuzzy white stuff looks like mildew to me—because of my climate, that sometimes happens to my succulents in winter. The leggy growth is probably a sign that your plants need more light. Good luck and happy growing! 🪴

Those are mold spots, usually from getting water on the leaves. Try spraying it with an anti fungal. Also, succulents require lots of light. They start stretching when they don’t get enough.

Thanks, everyone. I went ahead and sprayed all of them down with antifungal and peroxide/water, just to be sure. My black prince lost his head, but I'll hopefully get some roots soon. I have some leaves I'll try to propagate as well.
