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.

Combo of salt and algae. Totally normal. I try to scrub it off the best I can between grows.

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?Buds. Other

Is this still good or is it ruined?Hung plants to dry and waited for stems to snap, unfortunately when I checked the buds were so crispy they basically crumbles in my hands. I heard this could be mold/rot also. Did I mess up and over dry my buds, or is this something much more awful? Is this still salvageable?Other. Mold

Mashrooms and Plants HeightIs the height of the plants too much? They seems too high and weak.
As you can see in the pictures I have to remove mashrooms every day, I reduced humidity value down to 55% and I keep open the room window and closet door to ensure air recirculation. Is it so bad?4y ago

How do I reduce humidityI have my grobox in the loft but it's got very high humidity 60-80. What's the best way to get it down to 40-50% for flowering? I already have a mini dehumidifier, 2x fans in the box. A dyson cool fan outside the box. Any tricks? Can't afford to spend mad moneyWeek 5
