So should I try the plastic bag with a rubber band over it first before cutting it off? Do I need to air the plastic bag?

You can and should cut a moldy branch. At least a couple of inches below where the mold appears to end as well. You can put a bag over it and secure it with a rubber band to first to stop mold spores from spreading.

How do I reduce humidityI have my grobox in the loft but it's got very high humidity 60-80. What's the best way to get it down to 40-50% for flowering? I already have a mini dehumidifier, 2x fans in the box. A dyson cool fan outside the box. Any tricks? Can't afford to spend mad moneyWeek 5

Nutrient Lockout or Nitrogen deficiency (i.e need more nutes) or Fungus (see stems)My leaves are yellow but some are turning green. Do they need more nutrients or lockout? I have not gone above 1EC but have seen both strains handling 1.5EC+ in other diaries. All three plants are drinking the water in trays.

Early HarvestingDo you think I should harvest the early gorilla and the serious six # 2 right now? given the very rainy weather forecast? (Knowing that I am harvesting serious Six # 1 today, this only concerns the other two plants which are missing about 3/4 weeks of flowering)Week 17

Mycelium or Fungus - Too much Part 2I am seeing a ton of mycelium on all of my autopots. Because I have a bottom feed system, it is hard to keep my top medium wet without getting mold. Is this going to effect my end result if I do not do anything about this? Should I leave it alone or put sand on it?
Thanks all5y ago

Organic growers: question about moldFirst 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?Week 21
