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.

Mold between the pots and on the soil's surface, should I be worried ?So my pots are very close to one another so they can't breathe enough but my space is quite limited and in veg maybe there was not enough extraction. Now that they are in the flowering room they have a little more space but still too cramped. It's just one or 2 pots out of six2 years ago

Mouldy, webbed budsThe humidity was too high when I went away and now my buds are mouldy. Obviously I’m heart broken (mainly at my own stupidity because I should know better!) and I wondered if there was anything I can do to recover some of the crop. Can I wash? spray?

Could this be mildew?Hi all,
I've been stressing out about high humidity levels in my tent, and a chemical smell when I smell my fingers after running them through the buds.
Could this be mildew? Or just very frosty buds? On the microscope I see thin "hairs", but looks like undeveloped trichomes...2 years ago

Infected Leaves. To remove part of the leaf or whole leaf?I had had pests and disease issues my second grow of Autoflowers.

Potential bud rot?My critical cure has some of the smaller leaves near and in the buds which are starting to turn rusty brown. Is this a starting sign of bud rot? Should I cut them early?
I do not see anything abnormal under the microscope or when separating the large buds by hand. Thanks!3 years ago
