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.

Combatting powdery mildew with milk?
I noticed some white powder on the leaves of my plant. At first i thought it might have been from the perlite, but it came back. So i suspect it’s powdery mildew. I took to google and it recommended me to use a milk/water solution. Will this work?

7th week flowering mold problem. What can I do?
Hello everyone, in the last few weeks unfortunately I have eliminated some florets because a bit of mold has been created, I do not think it is real botrytis because if it was botrytis in 2-3 weeks it had to infect all the plants, it is a small percentage that I have eliminated .

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?

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.

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

Bad soil can i change the soil halfway? 20lt pot 5th Week stunned grow for 2-3weeks. Not gonna give up on her might aswell kill her trying?
Is it a bad idea to repot her with new soil, as one of my regulares had to be repot. I tryed to remove old soil, and gave her new soil, and she improved even more than this one who only got the ph fixed with vinegar. But the regular was on a 1lt pot. Thank you!

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!

What's your opinion on pruning off the 5th node and the top 4 out of 12 inches of growth? I have 2 plants growing too fast and I believe this would remedy it. I dont want to hurt them, but I dont need a super uneven canopy. Pruning just the top hasn't slowed it down enough

The Red Mandarine have leaned too much respect to each other. I think it was due to excess light, to use a 600w led spotlight from the beginning. Next time I will use fluorescents or a led of 125w that I have
