Muffa substrato

After two days in the grow, I noticed small bits of mold on the substrate. Panic. Any advice and remedies? Temperature is between 22 and 24, humidity around 70-80. Until this morning, I had never turned on the exhaust fans. Will turning on the air solve it?

Most likely caused by the hyper humid atmosphere and lack of ventilation. You definitely need to your fans on. As for the mould, try removing the affected bits and as long as you keep the extractors going and reduce the humidity levels a lot, the mould should stop and your plant will be fine.

Hi PeppeItalia, in my opinion, the mold formed more due to the lack of air circulation than humidity or temperature... I think you should check that your soil isn't too soggy, also put a small fan to help disperse the humidity. You can sprinkle the surface with natural fungicidal products like cinnamon, baking soda, or apple cider vinegar. These prevent mold from developing and won't harm the vegetation. Anyway, try using neem oil to keep the mold from coming back.

Definitely do turn air on. If there's only a little mold, you can try removing them with a knife, after which these spots should be treated with a copper sulfate solution. If that doesn't work, all substrate has to be replaced, the plant moved to another pot.
