Hi everyone, I’m having major mold problem in my 2 tents. I’ve always had a mild issue but now it’s destroying all 12 plants of 6 different strains. Look at the pictures and see for yourself. I’ve tried spraying them with peroxide diluted in water and no luck. The tents are in my basement where the temperature is always around 76 to 80 Fahrenheit and RH around 45 to 60. I’m thinking of transferring all my plants in my outside garden in about a month when the weather gets a bit warmer in Massachusetts. If anyone has the same problem please help me

@YBnyc82 In the first pic it looks like there is a saucer with water in it and a pot soaking in it.
The second pic looks like you have cloth pots sitting directly in saucers so those are just soaking in water too.
People a lot more knowledgeable than me here to help you out, the questionnaire above will help them diagnose for you but in the mean time… if those pots are sitting in water, fix that now.

Do you have any fans in the tent for air flow? I’m looking at the pictures but maybe I missed them. How about an inline fan, this will help with air exchange in the tent, keep temps and humidity under control.

Lights are too close as well.

If possible pictures in natural light would be good I think I’m seeing white powdery mildew on the leafs. As Community mentioned got to keep a good air flow going.

I’m not seeing mold, I’m seeing burnt, dead and curled leaves.
Possible extreme nute burn and root rot?

I have to agree with @PhillyRock . I’m not seeing mold, the leaves looked fried. Nute burn or light burn maybe . And those pots are way to small for plants that size

@Myfriendis410 The problem I’m having is that they’re growing at my friend’s house in massachusetts that’s 3⅓ hours away from me and he’s not taking care of this mold issue, so I’m trying to find a solution and tell him what to try to do. If I was closer to him I’d take care of this problem right from the start but I just found out a week ago.

@Dave101 Lights seem too close you’re right. The plants for very tall and the light is at the very top, can’t get it higher.
If there is mold present this most likely a large part of the problem . Air circulation and exchange is your best defense against developing mold

@Sativafan They are in saucers but there’s no water inside them, they’re NOT soaking in water not sure where you’re getting the soaking idea from.
The salt line in the green saucer looks like standing water. I had to do a double take cuz I thought the same thing (the one with the soda cup)

@Watt-Sun Thanks man, so far it seems like the issue I’m having is the air circulation and exchange! Thank you!

For your next grow I def get some fans in there and be using at least 1-3 gallon fabric pots for them to finish in. If you have height limitations I’d try using some training techniques like a scrog net to limit height and keep them out of the lights

@Watt-Sun The one with water in it have plants that were a trial run, I don’t care about those, it’s an unknown strain, not sure why it’s still there, I gotta tell him to throw it out just taking up space. But the bigger ones I agree that the pots are small, need to transfer them to bigger pots.

Are these flowering yet?

@Watt-Sun He was supposed to switch the light to 12/12 to get them flowering 2 months ago but because of this mold issue he said he’ll plant them outside when weather gets a little warmer. I made a big mistake allowing him to take care of these plants because he doesn’t take care of them like he said he would and I’m too far to do it myself.
