Mould and salt! Both! Al the hype about fabric pots,I don’t get it ?humidity is the result,I do not use them any more because of mould and the rootprunning story!! You pay a lot to dehumidify. Plastic pots and your problem is gone.. Happy Growing!

Looks like dried solutes to me... discoloration is potentially a microbe of some sort, but can't be certain from picture.

Good cover? Enough light passing? I place her at inside at night. High risk of budrot?
Is this a good cover? Quite bad weather this week, but i live in northern Europe so we have a mild sea climate. The summer is kinda over but this week is more rainy and cold then usually this time of the year. Does enough light pass the cover? I place her inside a barn at night.

Possible mold issue
I've had a drastic change in smell... overnight. Smell went from very pungent to an earthy almost musty smell. Could this be a precursor to bud rot? Or is this sometimes normal? Humidity avg 50-55% during day and no higher than 65% at night with constant ventilation/circulation

Stem rot/Botrytis
How would you deal with stem rot at very initial stages? We dusted with cinnamon, sprayed with H2o2, scraped the affected area, wiped dry and coated with candle wax to seal the wound. Check this week's recent diary photos for more details on how it looks atm.

Stem issues?
Do I have to worry at all about this stem? It’s had the white bumps on it the whole time but now that I’m getting toward the end I’m worried that it could be something worse than I thought it was. Any concerns that it could be mold?

Outdoors humidity too high, mold spreading, day 72/90-95. What should I do?
Humidity outside is high, dehumidifier and exhaust don't seem to help that. Mold is spreading. She's on approximately day 72 of 90-95 according to breeder specification. What should I do?

Humidity Spike - Bud Rot
Today I went in my tent and the dehumidifier was full and shut off and my exhaust fan broke. Humidity was at 90% for likely 12hrs. Buds were sagging. Back to 40% now and exhaust running. Should I be worried about bud rot?

Stem Necrosis
So about 2 weeks ago (should have posted about it sooner I know) I noticed some stem rot on my plant. I didn’t know it could be the first sign of something much worse. Can anybody help me identify what the problem might be? Or any steps I can take to save my plant?
