That's called mycelium bro. Its beneficial. It'll go after a few weeks. The plant will eat it up, as it decays it gives your plant a great boost in many areas. Fungus is generally your friend, unless you see it on your plant. You are growing in soil. You have a good thing going buddy. Now, some of it might go green, and look like mold. Even more so if you use any synthetic nutrients like a calmag. Try not to though. (As cal/mag in an organic grow is not good, especially with fungus. I can think of the name, but I know it'll cause issues. So if you can get an organic cal powder or just an organic cal and epsom salt. (If you have water above 170ppm you won't need calmag) but a dash of 250ppm Epsom salt never hurts during late flowering.. Good luck pal.

This guy speaks good stuff. It's something I bookmarked. He goes over fungus 101..I have lots of others, but I think this will be best for you. Was one of the 1st things I read, probably cause was the 1st to pop up in search.

To answer your question. Well, you can't really. All you can do, is research what you are using. On most products it'll say. But most tell tell signs, is by studying your plant. Any bad fungi will show up top, like good fungi will show good results on top. That's really the only way to notice it pal. As they say the fuzzy stuff is generally bad. Not with what you are using. I get it with my Green House Bio line. As I said. You'll see it up top.. maybe it'll best you do some researching as you can't get a straight answer to what you are asking. As there is 1000s of different fungi.

Ahh I see you are using a calmag. You really should try stay away from synthetic nutrients while you have such a great organic system going pal. Saves the hassle of many issues and all that flushing and gives a much tasiter end product.
