Moisture problem. Is it cold outside and warm in your house? It's probably a combination of crappy or no insulation and too high of humidity levels. Clean the walls with bleach, lower your humidity, get a temp/humidity sensor so you can monitor the humidity.

40% humidity during flowering will be good enough and will keep the mold in check.

I believe ChemisTree is correct. Its like a really cold glass of water sitting in a really warm room your getting condensation on your walls because your walls are cold but your room is hot. First thing to do is if you don't have it get a dehumidifier in your room. Also if you get some insulation up on your walls it should help . You can also get some Mold Mildew Resistant Paint for your wall and that will help . Also make sure you have proper ventilation in your room.

Make a wooden frame against it and insulate it with room insulator. If you cant afford that newspapers or something less water soluable would work fine. I think.

Grey being insulation
Brown being wood
Black dots being nails.

Remember to mylar over the wooden surface at the end. Or you could add another layer of uslation.

Bewarned tho, if you dont user proper insulation and use something like newspaper, if there is a fire, do not expect it to go crazy. Newspaper burns like a bitch. So do it right and get the right insulation.

How is your ventilation. You should have good supply of air coming in and good exhaust going out. If you do, there should be no moisture problems.

Dehumidifers run anywhere from 50$ for a very small one to 250$ for like a 50 pint one you can get them bigger then the 50 pint but I dont think you will need anything bigger than that. If you don't have much money I would check your local craigslist I can find usually 3-4 on mine at any given time. And Lowes should have that paint.
