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.

Mold/fungi or am I paranoid
I have never seen all these white strands when looking at the trichomes so I was just wondering if this could be any time of mold of fungus? It doesn’t seem like it when looking at it but I have never had buds this dense and close together so just wanted to be safe.

Mycelium or Fungus - Too much Part 2
I am seeing a ton of mycelium on all of my autopots. Because I have a bottom feed system, it is hard to keep my top medium wet without getting mold. Is this going to effect my end result if I do not do anything about this? Should I leave it alone or put sand on it? Thanks all

Mouldy, webbed buds
The humidity was too high when I went away and now my buds are mouldy. Obviously I’m heart broken (mainly at my own stupidity because I should know better!) and I wondered if there was anything I can do to recover some of the crop. Can I wash? spray? Dry out…basically anything?!?

Fungi around the seedling
I've noticed some small mushrooms coming out of the soil - I used mycorrhizae around the seed holes, but it's supposed to spread through the roots. There's also some greening on the parts of the soil like bark. Is that a good sign?

Die Colas haben sich seit einer Woche nicht verändert. Ist sie bereit geerntet zu werden? Ich bekomme die Trichome über mein Mikroskop nicht scharf gestellt. sehen aber zum großen Teil milchig aus. Was hat es mit den bräunlichen gekringelten Blättern aufsich?

Strange filaments between the trichomes
Morning Growers, thanks you all! unfortunately I've no diaries for this beautiful Auto Skywalker haze, I'm a newbie and I discover Growdiaries two months ago... I'm in late flowering phase, maybe 2 or 3 days left for harvesting and I would like to ask you is this mold?

Best way to control humidity?
I have a 4 inch inline fan blowing in air at the bottom, I have a 4 inch inline fan sucking air out the top and a 4 inch fan to circulate air inside and a large 300 foot air dehumidifier in the tent but my humidity is still 50%-60% constantly. What am I doing wrong?

Height issue. Small tent. LED as high as it will get and the tops of my newly flowering efforts are a mere 3 inches from the grow light. A few fronds have burned a little. My ScrOG is nearly as high as it’s going to go. Is there a way to decrease height. Stakes in soil ?

Can I change my autoflowers light cycle withou reducing their yield significantly?
I am having humidity/mold problems and was thinking of changing the cycle so the grow goes off at noon ( currently it goes off at 1am and its winter and gets real cold with 88% humidity). Even if I stress them, it would be better to not have mold than reducing the yield, right?
