Hi mate, don't get the green 4 in 1 tester. I got it and its rubbish. Its saying my PH is 8 which I know for a fact it's not judging by my runoff 5.8-5.9 PH. I think the best way to test without spending mega bucks is with runoff and a ph pen. I maybe proven wrong.. I hope so because I'll buy it 😝

What kind of mold/fungus is this?I asked about this before and it looked more white, so folx suggested it was either mycelium or salts. I am growing in coco, 38-47RH, 28c. The brown makes me think it's not mycelium so just wondered if anyone knows exactly what this is and if it's bad. It smells bad haha
