Mold scare. Do I need to start over?

Got mold from humidity in the room I keep my tent in. Should I worry about mold spores growing in my soil and ducting, or am I probably OK as long as there’s nothing visible growing?

And to add to the amazing advice above. Don’t give up this early take it as a chance to learn and grow. My summer grows have mold on the outside of the tents but a proper air circulation and dehumidifier in the tent and sterilization. No mold ever is a issue in my harvest when it’s the shittiest shed in the woods covered in it. You can cautiously peroxide the medium like you would with a slime mold taking root in the medium. Depending on the plant you can really clean them up and “cure them” from this affliction if it’s even gotten in there. You only need to worry about what’s going on in the tent and what you can control; RH 30 or less and tons of air there’s not a suitable environment. All the best !

Just clean it up, really clean it. Gloves and bleach Unless you are using a neutral medium like coco, rockwool, or peat the household mold really cant get going in soil, it does matter what type of mold and where. Bring that humidity down to be safe If you cant see it how do you know you have it? just wondered

If you found a spot of mold id probably move my girls out if possible and at least wipe down the tent with a soapy water solution the. Rinse it off and wipe it down again. I wouldn't do a full clean with bleach and peroxide thou as it would take to long. A little prevention goes a long way. Also look into a IPM for your plants. The amazing Dr zymes works great and fights and kills mold and fungus also. 🤘😤
