What to do with a moldy bottom?

Cremostarted grow question 5 years ago

Hi guys.2-3 weeks ago I squeezed one of my plants at the bottom too heavily and it started to dry out at the outer layers.A week ago I poured some fresh water with nuts on the "wound".This week it recovered very well but the dried out bottom got some mold I believe.What do I do?

Pull away the pebbles from the area. Clean the area with a mix of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. 1 cup of water with 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide 3%. Wipe are clean first, then dip a Q tip in the solution and wipe the area. Throw away the Q tip and repeat with a clean one. Clean area every 12 hrs and see if that helps.

Thx a lot guys, I appreciate your suggestions. I'll try out what @DoctorGreenThumb suggests BUT I already cut a thin slice off with all the mold but will treat it today the way you described. It's the only plant that got it. I'm happy for this kind of advice, I was rather expecting a "dump that bitch" advice so it's all cool :)

Try to wipe it off and burying on the substrate would be my advice. Are they all like it or just this one?

maybe a light H2O2 spray ? i can't suggest safest dose, but google can fil in that portion. People use it in reservoirs, so if diluted will be safe for this application if careful too.

Pollen sacks or powdery mildew?I noticed what I thought was powdery mildew on a leaf, then noticed funny looking things right next to the powder. I think these are pollen sacks, and if they are I want to know if anything is recoverable, or if I need to scrap the whole plant/grow. "Second Grow" on my profile

PM covered plant sentenced to death - What would you do?I'm about to destroy this plant. Each branch has heavy PM despite having ample airflow. I suspect due to the lack of direct sunshine, but I'm sure it's spread to other plants which will also be destroyed. Is there anything I can do to salvage? What would you do? Thanks!

Organic growers: question about mold First picture includes both molds. Second picture is the 'spider-web' mold. (Good mold, correct?) Third picture is the unknown mold. (Is this good or bad mold?) The red wrigglers living in the soil eat mold, but can/should they eat the second mold? Should it be removed?

Fungus on plant I know where it comes from... I was too stingy and didn't want to turn on the heating on cold rainy days- air too humid. Can I somehow save the affected bids or do I have to remove them? ( Just fan without heater I’ll have about 10*C)

During day 23°C / 55% humid. During night 18°C / 50% humid. Checked the whole bud, but no insects. My other ideas are mold or stress from the light?

Is this still good or is it ruined?Hung plants to dry and waited for stems to snap, unfortunately when I checked the buds were so crispy they basically crumbles in my hands. I heard this could be mold/rot also. Did I mess up and over dry my buds, or is this something much more awful? Is this still salvageable?
