Bad mold or normal mycelium on soil? Worried.
SirSalamistarted grow question 3y ago
Spotted white fuzz in my soil mix after balancing ph and adding nutes to the medium. Temps 72-81F, 40-45 humidity. Fan has mostly been pointed indirectly at side of pot/plant, rather than above. Should I be acting on this now? If so, what might be the best course of action? Thx!

It looks normal to me. You should be running a wet to dry cycle in soil. You may be watering too soon. If you continue it may lead to root rot. Just let it get dry not overly though.

Just break it up with a stick if it worries you, but it is just organic matter decaying and harmless to your plant.

Thanks for the quick response Roberts. I'm hopeful you're right.
Just to clarify for you or others that might be reading, the soil was quite dry the day before yesterday, before its 1st big round of feeding/ph balancing. I've heard *some* fungus growth can be a sign that the soil's in good health? 🤷♂️

Slimey/Webby parts of the flower? Looks like rot or mold?I removed the infected parts of the plant and defoliated the fan leaves around the sites to help with aeration. Did she go past her prime and now she is dying? Or just because of high humidity in the air?

Organic growers: question about moldFirst picture includes both molds.
Second picture is the 'spider-web' mold. (Good mold, correct?)
Third picture is the unknown mold. (Is this good or bad mold?)
The red wrigglers living in the soil eat mold, but can/should they eat the second mold? Should it be removed?
