Dat_Maltez_Loud
started grow question 4y ago
There is some sort of mould on the top of the substrate. I think I will spray it with diluted hydrogen peroxide. Is this a good Idea?

Hey ! Don’t spray it ! Looks like it’s just the great white’s beneficials bacterias and fungi that shows up. You’ll be perfectly fine.

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 six

Can you spray water on bananas while they're still on flowers (around weeks 5/6/7) ?
had a few plants herm around week 6 of flower. can i spray bananas with water FIRST (to kill pollen) then remove with tweezers? Worried about active pollen spilling. I've heard pull with tweezers and put in a cup of water. Don't want mold/mildew/etc. though!

White spots on lower branches
So this last week a few lower branches developed white spots that seem to cause deformation. Is this some kind of mold and do I need to do something about it? I’m worried it will stress if I let it be. Thanks in advance!

Nutrient Lockout or Nitrogen deficiency (i.e need more nutes) or Fungus (see stems)
My leaves are yellow but some are turning green. Do they need more nutrients or lockout? I have not gone above 1EC but have seen both strains handling 1.5EC+ in other diaries. All three plants are drinking the water in trays. Res/Tray@ 6.0PH/653PPM. Coco slurry @6PH/500PPM

Hi all. I have just found 2 more buds with budrot.. They are around 8 weeks now. Showing milky trichomes on most. Some with slight clear/milky. Very few with amber... I have decided to harvest right away.. Should I give them darkness or should I chop right now?? 😬💚

Mold ??
Hi, This is my roommates plant. I think it’s starting to get some type of mold on it. He sprayed it down with baking soda and water I guess, not sure how effective that is. What do you guys think it is? And what should he do? My plant will be going out there and I am worried.

PM covered plant sentenced to death - What would you do?
I'm about to destroy this plant. Each branch has heavy PM despite having ample airflow. I suspect due to the lack of direct sunshine, but I'm sure it's spread to other plants which will also be destroyed. Is there anything I can do to salvage? What would you do? Thanks!

Hello. I have a question. If there is a risk of nitrogen deficiency on the leaves, it looks like something is missing. pH 6-6.5 on the leaves you can see slight discoloration.
