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.

Hey fellow growmies, i noticed brown bract/calyxes on one of my plants. (week 12, auto, 20 % amber) Iwasnt't worried until I found them inside of some buds while checking for budrot. Should I be concernend (cut the buds), or is this just the circle of the plant life or genetics?

Moho in the pot
I have a little gray mold on the bottom of the geotextile pot. I am using bioenhancer which brings beneficial bacteria and fungi such as trichoderma, do I have to get into trouble? How do I remove mold from fabric without damaging the roots?

Is this normal or mold?
Is this normal color for orange critical punch? She is darker than last week at a few buds. I just want to make sure this normal or a form of mold or something. I'm harvesting her in 7 days. She is starting flush now.

hi i am a new grower and my seedlings just sprouted! today i noticed a little bit of white fuzz looking stuff and wanted help identifying it... the lighting might make it hard to see. i tried to include the edge of the pot so you could see the little white dots there as well

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. I think these are pollen sacks, and if they are I want to know if anything is recoverable, or if I need to scrap the whole plant/grow. "Second Grow" on my profile

Fungi in flowering
Found fungus on a girl's leaf. my first actions were to carefully remove the leaves that were contaminated and the excess leaves to improve ventilation. I also washed the Grown with disinfectant. What should I do next? It's 4 weeks to harvest, should I anticipate it to avoid

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)

Small bud rot - Harvest or finish off? 9 weeks into flower
I've had to cut about a 1 inch section off the top of one of my colas due to what appears to be rot. I've checked the rest of the plant and can't see anywhere else that has been effected. Should I harvest now to be on the safe side or let it finish up?

humidity
the humidity has been controllable with my a/c… but we just had a few days of rain and humidity. my plant has a mildewy smell. i see no signs of mold at this time… is it time to play it safe and get a dehumidifer?, or will a couple days of 55% humidity be enough to stave off mold

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?
