WHAT IS MOLD?

Mold is a fungus that grows in multicellular filaments (aka hyphae) and there are several different types of fungi species that grow from hyphae, resulting in a fuzzy appearance, almost always being white but sometimes grey in coloration, which is due to the mycelium (which is the mass that forms from a mass of hyphae).
The fluffy or dusty texture you often see not only in cannabis plants but in all types of plants and foods is caused by the spores formed at the ends of the hyphae, and these spores are what you see when your plant has been infected with mold.

IDEAL CONDITIONS TO PREVENT MOLD

Checking and adjusting the growing conditions is the best way to prevent mold in your grow space, this may be hard to do without the right equipment. If you don’t have the equipment needed, there’s no need to worry, as long as your growing conditions are as close as possible to 20-24°C and 55-60% relative humidity, there shouldn’t be a problem. Now, growing outside of the ranges mentioned doesn’t mean that your plants will get mold but it’s a guideline to know where the growing conditions should be, approximately.
Apart from the growing conditions, here are a couple of tips that will help you achieve the ideal growing conditions.

MOLD ON CANNABIS

It is possible to get mold at any stage of the growing cycle, even in the drying and curing process. This is because fungi need a specific condition to develop. Mold is a fungus that can affect cannabis plants when they’re kept in humid and warm conditions. It can be treated with fungicides or other homemade remedies and can be prevented by controlling the environment but because it rots the leaves, roots, or buds it can be untreatable or very hard to treat.
Also, mold produces spores (and there’s a good amount of spores in the air anywhere you go). Mold spores can stick on your clothes and can be brought into your growing room. They need only humidity and a slightly warmer condition to start developing. We recommend keeping a clean growing environment, even if you never got mold or fungi, it is a great way to prevent it.
