Fungus?
Eldritchscotchtoberstarted grow question 4 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! 👽

Roots on fireWe are in the 4th week of vegi period and changed the pots one week ago. From 0,5 liter to 11 Liter. And now the roots came out of the pots on the downsite (one 10cm). Is that a problem or can we just leave them like this and send them to bloom? If its a problem, what can we do?
