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.

Mám stan 1m² a v něm 9x11L květináče. Po zalití s 10-20% odtokem vody mám problém s vlhkostí vzduchu až 75%RH.Vlhkost mimo stan je 55%. Udělal jsem pro snížení vlhkosti vše (včetně přečtení všech grow questions na toto téma).Otázka je: jak ovlivní menší zálivka výslednou kvalitu?

High humidity with dehumidifier and no control
My humidity is uncontrollably high at 64%. The plants in there are a mix of flowering, pre-flower and veg. Can I safely close the tent door and just let it all do the thing? I have 2 6" fans one is oscillating and a 4" exhaust fan all at full blast. Will that be safe?

Should I defoliate during flowering outdoors?
(Autoflower) Should I defoliate? I made the rookie mistake of doing NO defoliating or lst during vegging, cuz they were skinny then. Did minor defol during flowering.It’s in full flower with 2-3 weeks left and we have about 7 straight days of rain. Worried about wpm and bud rot.

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 work

Bud rot! Should I harvest early?
I wasn’t finding any mold or mildew except a few leaves until today. Had about 4days of rain and now there’s a bit of rot in every large bud it seems like. About 10 days of sun coming up now, so should I just cut the rot out and wait 1-2 weeks? Or chop now and make hash?

Bud Rot? Mold? Or safe
One of the branches split during a storm the other day and didn't recover after a few days so I chopped. I'm wondering if the leaves trap moisture in the bud during the days I let it recover. The backside has a brown tint to it while the front looks green and healthy. Srry 4 pics

Is the bud rot? What to do?
Is this bud rot? I found it on two bud sites so far on my big plant. What would you do? 1) Assuming it's rot or some other infection would you just harvest now? It's like 2-2.5 weeks early. 2) Wait one more week and see and risk spread?

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?

Beginning of Budrot
Is this the beginning of budrot or just the plant using the leafs (sugarleaf actually) as nutrients? I'm in the final week and in 2 days this leaf starts turning yellow on the bud. Bit worried. I cant pull the leaf out and bud looks fine but still worried

Infected Leaves. To remove part of the leaf or whole leaf?
I had had pests and disease issues my second grow of Autoflowers. I believe it was hemp russet mites which spread disease on parts of many of my leaves. Would it be alright to remove only the part of the leaf that was infected or to remove the entire leaf?

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!
