White fluffy mould

[Malkosashi88]

Hello,
today i saw that my little girls all has some strange white fluffy mould on the bottom part of their pots. Ive never encountered anything like that. This is my first time to also use Voodoo juice by AN, so can it possibly be something from it. Otherwise, they are in Biobizz light mix, with nothing added except for the Voodoo juice. 450ml pots, under 50w t5 bulb. The room is ventilated and the temp is around 23-4degrees celcius and humidity around 55-60%. Those are readings at the top of the soil.The seedlings are growing well, they are on day 7 since seed and already some are showing roots pouring from the bottom of the containers.
❤️🙏

Looks like mould to me.

I wouldn't worry. It won't hurt your plant if you can lower the humidity a little during mid late flower, I'd be aiming for below 55%RH of a day and closer to 45 of a night and bring the day temp up to 27/28...keeping good 24hr air movement...and don't spray your buds...

If you can't keep humidity down with big flowers then you could be in strife.

Edit: To put your mind at ease there isn't a grow room in the world that doesn't contain mould spores and clean laboratories often contain spores...you cant get rid of them just reduce the incidence of them getting into & taking hold in your flowers.

Sitting your pot in only enough of an H2O2 solution to touch the drain holes will kill the mold. Maybe 4 water to one H2O2. Let it sit for a few seconds and drain off.
And what Bluey said.

Don't kill it, that "mold" is a good thing! Its probably a combination of mycorrhizae and bacteria, it helps break down the organic matter in the soil and make it readily available as nutrients for the plant. Generally speaking white is good, blue and green are bad.

I think the word you're looking for is mycelium.
Though it could also be some other type of saprophytic fungus. I agree with Franklin, don't kill it. But if you absolutely have to, H2o2 or a mix of baking soda and water should do to trick.

Could be mycorrhizae...... could be mycelium.....or it could be....

I just Crack myself up this days.......

Advanced nutrition Voodoo is their Mirco so probably not bad but you could be having the start of problems with to "wet" of pots. Make sure you're not letting them sit in water.

Crack kills.

Notice, I am not posting a picture of butt crack with a smarmy, yet apropos meme.

Mycorrhizae s the word for an association between mycelium and plant roots, look at that I just learned something new, thought they were the same thing, thanks blowdout

 

[Blowdout2269]

Well I'll be damned.
Guess I just learned something aswell.
Thanks Franklin

Fun facts.
Mycelium has survived all the mass extinctions.
Mycelium is natures OG world wide web.
Mycelia is the largest organism in the world.
Mycelium has more similarities with humans then plants.
Mycelium can decompose petroleum products.
Not all Mycelium is beneficial. To answer the posters question.
I still think Myco Jordan is the funniest sticker ever.
If you Google mycorrhizae and click on Wikipedia the first picture is Amanita muscaria, that's a fun guy cleverly place.
More rabbit holes

Hey, guys ! Thanks for taking the time to add your opinion. My internet was really bad and i wasnt able to respond quicker. After reading all the comments ill take everything into consideration and will not eliminate the supposed mycelium for now. Also i upped the temp in the room as advised and now the little ones are exposed to 25-27 degrees celsius. The reading of humidity on the soil level is 45% atm. I guess i did pour a little too much water and ill let the pots dry more this time, before watering again. They are not sitting in water. They do expand quite well for now, so i can only hope for the best from now on. I will post another thread in a few day, where i will kindly ask a bunch of questions before i transplant them into their final homes, since i did not find threads regarding them. ❤️🙏
