Mildew or weird trichome?
stonedkoalastarted grow question 4y ago
I know powdery mildew can look like tiny white hairs. I'm thinking it's mildew but can someone with more experience let me know?

Those spiky things are leaf "hairs", otherwise known as "non-glandular trichomes" and are nothing to worry about, they are compltely normal for cannabis.
Stay off those gum leaves!

Mold between the pots and on the soil's surface, should I be worried ?So my pots are very close to one another so they can't breathe enough but my space is quite limited and in veg maybe there was not enough extraction. Now that they are in the flowering room they have a little more space but still too cramped. It's just one or 2 pots out of six3y ago

Mouldy, webbed budsThe humidity was too high when I went away and now my buds are mouldy. Obviously I’m heart broken (mainly at my own stupidity because I should know better!) and I wondered if there was anything I can do to recover some of the crop. Can I wash? spray? Dry out…basically anything?!?Buds. Other

Best way to control humidity?I have a 4 inch inline fan blowing in air at the bottom, I have a 4 inch inline fan sucking air out the top and a 4 inch fan to circulate air inside and a large 300 foot air dehumidifier in the tent but my humidity is still 50%-60% constantly. What am I doing wrong?Week 7

Mould on seedlingThis seed was late to spawn. Now it finally opened, even if it's quite short on the soil. I can see a fluff of mould just below the cotyledons. What should I do? Can I save it or do I risk contaminating the rest of the plants in the growbox?Other. Mold
