Harmful mold/rot/fungus on degrading old plant matter?
Flex1started 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.

Is the bud rot? What to do?Is this bud rot?
I found it on two bud sites so far on my big plant.
What would you do?
1) Assuming it's rot or some other infection would you just harvest now?
It's like 2-2.5 weeks early.
2) Wait one more week and see and risk spread?Week 22

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.

Bud Rot? Mold? Or safeOne of the branches split during a storm the other day and didn't recover after a few days so I chopped. I'm wondering if the leaves trap moisture in the bud during the days I let it recover. The backside has a brown tint to it while the front looks green and healthy. Srry 4 picsBuds. Other
