Bad mold or normal mycelium on soil? Worried.
SirSalamistarted grow question 2 years ago
Spotted white fuzz in my soil mix after balancing ph and adding nutes to the medium. Temps 72-81F, 40-45 humidity. Fan has mostly been pointed indirectly at side of pot/plant, rather than above. Should I be acting on this now? If so, what might be the best course of action? Thx!

It looks normal to me. You should be running a wet to dry cycle in soil. You may be watering too soon. If you continue it may lead to root rot. Just let it get dry not overly though.

Just break it up with a stick if it worries you, but it is just organic matter decaying and harmless to your plant.

Thanks for the quick response Roberts. I'm hopeful you're right.
Just to clarify for you or others that might be reading, the soil was quite dry the day before yesterday, before its 1st big round of feeding/ph balancing. I've heard *some* fungus growth can be a sign that the soil's in good health? 🤷♂️

First Grow 4 weeks into Veg - Let my humidity get too high for 1 night. Need help with mold/septoria/?Last 3 days I've pruned diseased leaves every morning, foliar sprayed peroxide leaves & topsoil, & added some to watering solution. Is only affecting one plant in tent. Humidity no longer issue (was waiting 4 inline fan). If I keep pulling off leaves it's going to die anyway.

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?

Well I messed up a little I just pulled out my sticks I was using to label my seedlings and I find this white mold on them. I removed the sticks and dirt around should I use an anti fungal thing? I already have had gnats too but treated for them. This living soil is no joke eh

Botrytis ?Removed a larf and a twig with a larf that seem infected by botrytis. I cut it down to healthy tissue. So question is, would cinnamon help prevent spread, or should i just chop it ? I am afraid it might spread to the other plants in the tent aswell. Tips and opinions Appreciated.

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

Mold/fungi or am I paranoidI have never seen all these white strands when looking at the trichomes so I was just wondering if this could be any time of mold of fungus? It doesn’t seem like it when looking at it but I have never had buds this dense and close together so just wanted to be safe.

Potential bud rot?My critical cure has some of the smaller leaves near and in the buds which are starting to turn rusty brown. Is this a starting sign of bud rot? Should I cut them early?
I do not see anything abnormal under the microscope or when separating the large buds by hand. Thanks!
