It's a form of mold from over watering. Scrape it off and let your medium dry up more before watering.

My plant has entered in preflowering stage. It is an automatic from fastbuds. The thing is that it is really small and it has not even reached 3 weeks yet. Is this something I have to worry about? Will the growth get stucked or will it continue developing?

Never had a bean pop so strangely. Is this girl looking OK? Only Dutch Passion Critical Orange Punch I have so I hope so. Sheโs making some weird moves, but is turning green so thatโs normally good. She started to pop yesterday and I guess Iโm used to them standing straight up.

Ready to harvest?
I took these pictures of the trichomes today. I heard trichomes should be 2/3 milky and 1/3 orange. On my pictures i dont see much milky trichomes but a lot of orange ones. What does that mean? Are they ready to harvest or should i wait? Side note: I fertilized the last 2 days

Slow growth / not spreading out much / compact plant. What gives ? Should I attempt to defoliate to get more light in there / pump more nutes ?
Any advice on making it grow faster ? I'm in the 7th week of veg and it's not as bushy as it should. Still growing, just slow. It doesn't seem to want to spread much horizontally / fan leaves are staying relatively small. I'm in 3rd week of LSTing. Am I being impatient ?

What is safe RH level during early flowering?
Looks like weather's gonna be a bitch. Forecast for next 10 days is 65-75% RH. Now it's 60 indoors and 64 in tent. Got some silica gel in tent, next I will put portable AC/dehumidifier next to tent. What would be good RH that I should aim for?

Is my plant ready?
Hi! Considering this is my first grow experience, could anybody tell me if my baby is ready to be harvested? The cola is more mature then the bottom buds. If ready, should I harvest only the top and let the plant continue to flower? Thanks

Should I use distilled water instead of tap water and jus add nutes? I have a feeling my tap water is a little on the hard side 354ppms
Is distilled water better to use than tap water? My tap water reads 354 ppm, I have a feeling it's too hard so what I'm wondering is would I be better off using distilled and add nutes rather than using tap water? The pics ik I am feeding cal mag an some N next watering.

Help!!!!
I messed up and forgot to set my light timers back. I started a new grow from seed and have been running a 12/12 light schedule for 17 days. Is it too late for veg? Can I switch them to 18/6 or 24 hour for vegetation or are they already starting the flowering process? Please help

SilverSol vs Colloidal Silver 4 Feminization Of Autos?
Question: are there any differences in structured silver solutions like SilverSol "SS" vs regular silver like Colloidal Silver "CS" for feminization? Both are interchangeable for most purposes. It seems SS has more active ions, would that be a bonus? They said SS 10ppm = CS 50ppm
