Harmful mold/rot/fungus on degrading old plant matter?
Flex1
started grow question 3y ago
Mold/fungus? Harmful? Haven't seen something like this in my living soil and I suspect it could be from high moister or humidity level. Its only seen on old dead cover crop.

Not harmful at all, actually beneficial for your soil biology.

I wouldn't worry about this... not at all... if it's just the old, dead cover crop, it's naturally decomposing... Good luck!

Update: seems fungus related not mold. Not certain it's harmful rather just part of living soil.

IPM Advice for outdoor
I'm looking for advice on IPM for my outdoor plants. They've not kicked into flower yet, and I want to be well-prepped beforehand to deal with any bugs that may attack my girls. Here we have thrips, spider mites, aphids and caterpillars mainly. Any input is helpful, thanks! :)

High humidity
I hit 70% of humidity this night in my growroom when I usually have 60% tops at night and a good dehumidifier is quite expensive. Any quick tips to decrease HR without one ? And if I can't, how bad is 60% average HR ?

I have some very bad news and need help. I was gone for a few days and when I returned to see how the plants were doing, lots of the buds have been taken over by mould. I am very disappointed with this and I think my only option is to harvest now. Please help!

I feel that I kept my plant vegging for too long. It seems a lot taller than it should be and now I am not sure whether I should remove fan leaves or top the plants again to halt their upward growth. OR should I do nothing because they will stop growing upwards soon anyways?

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!
