Hey guys. I'll preface this by saying this is my very first grow ever. I know I probably made some really stupid mistakes but please go easy on me i'm still learning.

It'll be ending it's 4th week in veg. by tomorrow but i plan on vegging for another 2 weeks. I'm using rock wool as the growing medium and advanced nutrients for my reservoir solution. Temperature stays around 85~ and humidity around 40-55 (I have no idea how to control these). Tell me any other information you need.

What should i do at this point? If anyone else has experienced a problem like this I would deeply appreciate any help you can offer.

Best to support such rash claims with pics from a camera, either way forget continual vegging and head for the timer start budding now should your diagnosis prove correct,
in this biz, theres 3 things growers have to avoid ...
1: Cops
2: Robbers
3: Molds
The fact you got so far is a grand effort, this time of year anywhere, but I always expect newbies to make their first grow soil, it more natural and easier, Bud Rot /Grey Mold is an airborn viri, that is present all year everywhere, just some times during the years we set it off accidentally most the times, and all thats really available are surface chemicals that upset and annoy the ph of the spores,
once this grow is done ..wash down all the walls floor, roof and all the gear in 10% bleach and hot water, look to increasing your ventilation and avoid water so much in the grow room ...pics please!

What level is your reservoir water at? Maybe keep it below the net so the rw isn't wet all the time...

A little h202 should take care of the mold. How do the roots look?

Also do you have an exhaust vent in that lil cab?
