Harmful mold/rot/fungus on degrading old plant matter?
Harmful mold/rot/fungus on degrading old plant matter?
Flex1
started grow question 2 years 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.

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.

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

Mould on seedling
This 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?

Genetics or budrot?
Hi all, my Royal Jack Auto from RQS is in 7th to 8th week and on the tip of the main cola these red, brownish spots appeared. Humidity has been 50% yesterday and before 40-45%, plenty ventilation in the tent. Around 24 to 28 °C. Could this be the start of budrot or am I paranoid?

How do I get my humidity down?
Help! It's raining for another week, and our humidity is around 65% to 75%. Should we use more fans, or what would you recommend? Dehumidifiers? Thank you in advance.

Is this Soil Mold Safe?
After rainfall, I notice mold on top layer of soil. Approximately 70 days from seed. Photoperiod, outdoor grow in 7G fabric pots. I know powdery mildew and botrytis is a death sentence for plants in flower, but with these girls in veg - is it okay? What should I do?

Should I keep this deformed bud or cut it off? The humidity is high, and the sugar leaves are layered on top of each other. I'm a bit worried about potential mold. Any advice would be appreciated!

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!

Mold? Fertiliser leftovers? What can i do?
Hey. Since 3 days ( after the last watering with fertiliser ) there are moist places - some places have Water drops that are not drying out on lower leaves on one of my plants. Could this be leftovers from fertiliser that i might have left unintentionally or mold? Advices?
