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.

Is this Soil Mold Safe?After rainfall, I notice mold on top layer of soil. Approximately 70 days from seed. Photoperiod, outdoor grow in 7G fabric pots. I know powdery mildew and botrytis is a death sentence for plants in flower, but with these girls in veg - is it okay? What should I do?

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?

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

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

Humidity Spike - Bud Rot Today I went in my tent and the dehumidifier was full and shut off and my exhaust fan broke. Humidity was at 90% for likely 12hrs. Buds were sagging. Back to 40% now and exhaust running. Should I be worried about bud rot?

Fungus on plant I know where it comes from... I was too stingy and didn't want to turn on the heating on cold rainy days- air too humid. Can I somehow save the affected bids or do I have to remove them? ( Just fan without heater I’ll have about 10*C)

Fear of mold Are these signs of mold? The humidity here is very high, the fan is on, but it's complicated. I see no signs of powdery mildew. But could it be some other type of fungus?
