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.

Stem issues?
Do I have to worry at all about this stem? It’s had the white bumps on it the whole time but now that I’m getting toward the end I’m worried that it could be something worse than I thought it was. Any concerns that it could be mold?

Harmful mold/rot/fungus on degrading old plant matter?
Mold/fungus? Harmful? Haven't seen something like this in my living soil and I suspect it could be from high moister or humidity level. Its only seen on old dead cover crop.

Should I keep this deformed bud or cut it off? The humidity is high, and the sugar leaves are layered on top of each other. I'm a bit worried about potential mold. Any advice would be appreciated!

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

Mold/fungi or am I paranoid
I have never seen all these white strands when looking at the trichomes so I was just wondering if this could be any time of mold of fungus? It doesn’t seem like it when looking at it but I have never had buds this dense and close together so just wanted to be safe.

Still cant figure out what's going on with this plant. EC was over 2 for a couple of days but has since been taken care of, last reading was .83.
Is this a deficiency or some other kind of issue? Some have suggested a p or k deficiency, but I feed Jack's 20-10-20 peat-lite so I would be very surprised if it was a P problem, and the problem seems to be all over the leaves, but a lot of them start from the base of the leaf.

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?

H2O2 bath for light PM on pocorn/trim, pre QWISO?
PM found on trim, post harvest, my bad darnit. *Very light* but I take pride in my work. Personal consumption only. Forums reviewed so lets skip the chatter, will proceed with QWISO. Should I do a H2O2 bath before extraction in ISO? Trim off best plant, Dos Si Do which is strong.

Humidity outside is high, dehumidifier and exhaust don't seem to help that. Mold is spreading. She's on approximately day 72 of 90-95 according to breeder specification. What should I do?
