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.

My plants are growing tall and fast. If I want to restrict their vertical growth at some point should top them? Is there a time when it is too late to top them and if I do top them will they just become bushy? I did not do this early on, obviously.

Mold in my early flowering?
I just inspected my plant and noticed some grey/darker areas in my buds, I cannot understand if it's due to the purple stem or it's just pure mold. What do you guys think? Is this Botrytis?

To chop or not to chop? Bud Rot.
Got bud rot. So I removed all of it. Should I harvest or wait a couple days to see what the plant does? It was a lot of bud rot. All of one side and most of the bottom of the canopy. Lost a few branches. Sideways pics? Again?

How much taller is she going to get? Every time I try to LST I end up supercropping or topping and I don't want to do that but I am running up against a space maximum.

Solution to height - supercropping, I am thinking, is the only answer? [ or......how close to the lights can the plant get - currently 14" from the LEDs.]
