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.

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?Other. Mold

Peltier dehumidifier @300ml per day adequate for 3x3x6 tent? Alternatively, a conventional dehumidifier outside the tent?Peltier thermoelectric dehumidifiers extract 300ml of water per day. Weak compared to compresser units, small and use less energy. Is it enough?
Would a conventional dehumidifier set outside of the tent near the intake be effective, or does it need to be inside the tent to work3y ago

Mould on seedlingThis seed was late to spawn. Now it finally opened, even if it's quite short on the soil. I can see a fluff of mould just below the cotyledons. What should I do? Can I save it or do I risk contaminating the rest of the plants in the growbox?Other. Mold

Pollen sacks or powdery mildew?I noticed what I thought was powdery mildew on a leaf, then noticed funny looking things right next to the powder.
