QUESTION! Has anyone dealt with any mold issues in their home (not plant mold, but mold on walls outside the grow room) from growing a small number of plants (6 or so)? And would this mold grow out of control during your first grow? Or does this sound more like a structural (poor ventilation/roof installation and poor insulation in key areas, such as above windows) situation?

Landlords are trying to blame me for the insane mold problem that is in mine and my children's room. Even though the people contracted by them reported that this was due to no negligence on my part. But rather it was the result of poor ventilation/roof installation and poor insulation in key areas, such as above windows. I only am growing 6 plants hydroponically (first grow. 5 weeks flowering), and not even in the room that the mold is present. My plants have no mold on them and there is no mold near the closet they are in. I have a dehumidifier, the bathroom vents, and windows open constantly. We monitor temps and humidity. Which humidity was usually in the 30% range. The roofs are leaking next to the windows, and that it where the mold is located. The mold is sooo bad that it has molded things not even near the walls that are infested. My books, dressers, shelves, clothes, belts, ect. are covered.

We wont even address the neglect of not disclosing the possible asbestos containing ceiling. (after tampering with it it has been confirmed to contain asbestos)

I am desperate for some answers. Any answers/advice!! Takin this to court.

Get yourself an ozone generator asap, preferably in combination with a negative ion generator. Also buy a de-humidifier, as mold thrives when humidity is over 50%.

Hello Medicator. Without seeing the Damage first hand but Reading your descriptions about the Locations of Leaks and Mold i would say Take him to Court...
Where your Roof is Leaking it's leaving Cold Water which is being met by the Warm Air in your house thus Leaving Mold growing on to the walls,Ceiling & Surrounding area's.
It Won't be your Well Ventilated Grow room because of Good Air Circulation and a Low RH. If it was your Bud Room would be the First thing to Suffer Mold & You wouldn't have any MJ.
I've been Fitting Windows for Over 20 Years and have seen this problem so many times it's unbelievable and Landlords Always try to blame the Tenants.
Get as Many Photo's from Different Angles of the Mold and Surrounding Areas, Especially your Daughters room where she Sleeps & Plays, Also try and get a Health Worker to make a Report on how it's Damaging your Daughters & your Own Health.
Use Warm Water and Bicarb of Soda (i think it was?) to wipe it off if you can? Google can give you more Info about cleaning it down. But Don't let your landlord get away with not paying for All of your Belongings that are Damaged.
I'm sorry that i'm a few Thousand Miles away as i would have come round to Repair it for you :-(
Take Care & Keep Smiling ;-)
