Fungus?
Eldritchscotchtoberstarted grow question 3 years ago
Does this look like fungus to anyone else? I was looking at the soil of a plant that is not doing well, and saw this. It could also be roots maybe?

Looks like Pythium. Its actually an algae that looks like fungus.
Pythium is also called water mold. It comes with garden soil. It likes wet soil and high nitrogen fertilizer. And it flows with water.
Guano over dose could easily kills plant root and promote Pythium. Why on one plant and not another? Some strains feeds more heavily than another. General idea is that Indica feeds more and can take more water. Some breeder put up information on feeding and "irrigation" tolerance.
What to do with Pythium? I put a beneficial fungus call Trichoderma in the soil. I spread about and kill off most of the unwanted fungus.
For guano and other garden fertilizer, start with one third the strength. My Sativa takes only 1/4th strength. And Indica usually takes up to 1/2 to 2/3rd strength.
Good luck

Hello Eldritchscotchtober,
that looks like mold. It could be that the soil was already contaminated before you started to use it. Once I had to throw away a whole bag of seedmix, just because the corners were full of the same looking grey particles as we see in the picture you provided.
Answering your earlier question about the hangover: Always use good ventilation. I do not believe that the plant starts to produce toxins when dying. It's a little bit too hard to tell from here what the probable cause for it was, but I would bet on the lack of airflow.
Good luck with your project, I wish you all the best! 👽

Tipped, Squashed Plant, Wobbly Trunk - Will it Survive?Plant fell over and squashed against itself.
The base of the trunk is wobbly but still attached deep down.
I've packed soil around the base of the trunk to reinforce.
I'm about 2 weeks from chop and want to know if it's worth harvesting now or if plant/yield will be fine?

How to get feminised plants to flowerHow do I get my feminised plants to start flowering outside / greenhouse?

I used a three gallon pot and filled it, with moist soil, to around 70% capacity. Would this soil be enough for a single Royal Gorilla Auto or Should I add more soil? If the answer is positive then how should I go about it? Any help is greatly appreciated since I am a total noob.

Springtails in Waste water CoCoHi all, I have just watered my almost 3 week old plants, they are in coco, and I collect the waste water to measure my PH values. To my great surprise I saw something moving in my waste water (see photo).
I did some searching on the internet and found that they are springtails.
