Thanks for the replies and i don't know the humidity because my tempature gauge only displays the temp and thats at 75-78 but sometimes i can tell its a little humid just by opening the tent after awhile...Theirs pretty good airflow through the on the top of the plants but i only have 1 little one under the canopy..So maybe that might be it, cus the mold is on the lower leaves..I am not misting any of my plants while in flowering either..I can post a pic of my grow real quick but idk if i can take a pic of the moldy spots cus they r really small u can bairly notice them..I can tell its really nothing major but i am noticing the white spots..

I had mold growth on my plant and seen it right away. Affected (from what I saw white fuzzy mold) the lower buds. I cut off all the growth on the bottom of the plant and even a couple nodes above just incase I couldnt see it. Here is a picture of it today, all is well, I make sure good air flow is given.

No mold whatsoever. I think the key is finding it before it can actually spread throughout the plant, if it hasnt already.

haha i know man i will either today or tomorrow..But if the humidity higher then what it should be, get a dehumidifier? I will be adding another fan in a little bit under the canopy so it will have good airflow where the lower leaves are..And i replaced my temp gauge with another i had and now its reading like 80 so i think i been reading the wrong temp lol so it might be the heat doing it along with the bad airflow under the canopy...I have a 400hps cooltube+600hps aircooled

Yeah, i'd say try more oscillating fans/better airflow as that will help, tho obviously only if the mould is mainly related to poor airflow. Do u also run ur desk fans at night too? At night the plants are respiring & leaking major moisture. Airflow needs to circulate day & night and regularly air out the room the tents in too, if u don't already. But if ur humidity problems are due to local climate then u may need to buy dehumidifier.

Also, one thing about mould (which i must admit this is from reading, not experience thankfully!) is that alot of moulds will start growing from inside the buds, so by the time u see it on outside its already too late to save that bud. And thus i would say be careful with chopping some bits off & thinking other bits are still safe - do check before drying & smoking as it can be potentially dangerous dude.

Thanks for your response. No i did not have the fans on at night which i should have but now their asleep and i have 2 fans going under the canopy, will add another one on tomorrow..Plus the plants were crowded as i havent pruned them at all. So i pruned them real good..now they prolly feel like they have some room and have fans going at night now...Temp is doing good...I think i will be ok..I just dont want to have to cut my whole fucking crop down..
