Is this Soil Mold Safe?
MMSC16started grow question 4 months ago
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?

molds in soil are normal, mix it into the top layer. maybe apply a mulch later like straw to help prevent it from spreading to much, and don't over water.
also if you use amendmends they will mold on surface layer if not mixed in well.

No, that mold obviously doesn’t spread on plants since your stem is completely clear.
Don’t panic and apply simple logic 😂

This looks like a type of saprophytic fungus, meaning that they feed on the dead organic material in the soil. They won't feed on your plants or cause any direct damage to them.
I would just break up the top surface of the soil a bit with a fork and the problem should sort itself out as it dries.

Spray with hydrogen peroxide, wait till dry, repeat if needed. Then put a layer of perlite or sand(not to fine or play sand) on top 2cm. And use 30 % perlite in your soil next time for better aeration.
Much success 🤞and

mold instead of seedlingsTrying to germinate our seeds right into the soil, planted 72hrs ago. Covered with mason jars and now have white mold starting to grow on soil. The temp has stayed around 22 and the humidity around 65%. Should I remove the seeds and go to paper towel method instead?

White hairs on seedHello growers!
I started germinating my White Widow seeds 3 days ago and there is some kind of white hairs growing from it but the seed is not cracked and there is no root yet.

Nutrient Lockout or Nitrogen deficiency (i.e need more nutes) or Fungus (see stems)My leaves are yellow but some are turning green. Do they need more nutrients or lockout? I have not gone above 1EC but have seen both strains handling 1.5EC+ in other diaries. All three plants are drinking the water in trays.

Mycelium or Fungus - Too much Part 2I 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

Can I change my autoflowers light cycle withou reducing their yield significantly?I am having humidity/mold problems and was thinking of changing the cycle so the grow goes off at noon ( currently it goes off at 1am and its winter and gets real cold with 88% humidity).
Even if I stress them, it would be better to not have mold than reducing the yield, right?Other. Mold

Autoflowers with high humidity during night and rot, any solutions for high rh?Hello everyone, today I woke with a plant rot on some parts, that due to the high humidity it got during the night, 88% and 18 celsius.
What are the cheap and effective ways you do to prevent rot?
I was thinking of switching from 18/6 to 24/0 but I don´t want to stress them.
