hello

i had an issue were there was mold on the room walls outside my grow tent. this was the setup
air recirualating within the room. intake from the room outtake left in the room i know this is not correct but it worked. how can i prevent this.
air brought from outside in to tent (with net to stop nastys coming in. then the hot outtake into an air unit (which one), based in the uk.
please help.

by the way i like to swap tips.
use boveda it will pay for its self.
don't touch bud candy unless you want all you strains to taste the same
don't ever vacuum seal bud, the tricones will degrade.
if you ever have hermes, seeds there is a fomula that can reverse the problem.

Not sure if they carry this in your country. What I painted my grow room with is mildew / mold resistant paint that was 6 years ago and haven't had mold issues whatsoever but then again I have a good intake/outtake system and I practice sterile techniques. If you are taking in air but not expelling it to the outside that is also could be your primary culprit. That lingering air is conducive mold growth.

If you don't have co2 already, get some. Not only does it increase your yield by 20-40% but it also helps take care of mold. Mold needs oxygen to grow, less oxygen, less mold ;-)

You will have to lower the humidity in your room by exhaust the air out of the room.
water and heat = mold. that´s why there are air exhaust in most bathrooms.
use a hygrostat to control humidity keep it around 50.

Here are some tips for trade:

adding crushed skittles to your soil a week before harvest will make your buds rainbow colored.

dont be afraid to shampoo the hairs during flowering, you'll wash away any buildup and notice some volume and shine.

no need to pay for expensive gimmicks, a daily spray down of OFF will keep your plants mosquito free all summer.

To find out when to harvest, get a pocket microscope and look at the crystals. If more than 0% are tiny crystal skulls...

run.

nazi's and/or Indiana jones will be there any minute. indy will have his whip.

well let's look at the sources of water... 1)transpiration 2) evaporation (pots)
to reduce the amount of evaporation from the pots, you could put a layer of plastic, i wouldn't do this though cause it will encourage mold to grow in the pot..
as far as transpiration goes, its very important that your plant isn't too dry or it will over transpirate.. over dry means too much fan blowing on them. You could maybe just need to re- assess how your air is circulating, you dont want it to directly hit the leaves, but to make them "wiggle"

now you may have slowed down the problem, but we still gotta the whole "closed room" thing

you can get a thing of damp rid and put it inside your exhaust if you want

get a dehumidifier, and have the exhaust pointed toward the center of the room

or get an a/c with the dry cycle mode, and just leave it on that

or even exhausting outside (prolly best)

bleach, a dehumidifier, an open window, mould proof paint and neem oil. in that order.

if there is mould on the walls then there IS mould on your plants, albeit only a small amount.
