so I have 6 plants 11 days into flowering in a 3x3x7 closet with a 400w hps. My temps vary between 80-90 and the humidity is aywhere from 45-60. I have 1 large fan going. Any ideas on what i can do.

Will the mold affect the buds?

Hell yes it will! Smoking buds with mold is hazardous to your health!

High temps and humidity with not enough air circulation is the culprit. Get that mold under control! Depending on how bad it is now.... you may need to kill them and start over. Your health is not worth the risk.

In your next grow if you can't control that heat better then you better get more fans blowing directly on the plants.

The mold is on the lower fan leaves. i will add some more fans ad will let you k ow what happens. So if i get the humidity in the 40s, will that get rid of the mold?

Good news though, they are growing very fast and drinking water like crazy! I noticed that my 3 grape ape ladies are budding a lot quicker than my super kush too! So hooefully

You need to get rid of the existing mold. Yes more air will help prevent mold from growing.... but mold already there is likely doing damage... I'd cut off the mold infected leaves pronto.

i have cut off all the leaves that had any traces of mold on them(very many). will this affect the plants quality/potency? i also turned up the fans. Hopefully this works out, i really dont want to have to kill the poor girls.

Well... if there were a lot of leaves infected then they may suffer a little shock from losing a bunch of leaves at once. In addition to turning up the fans try to keep your room temp and humidity down.

So the hydrogen peroxide will wipe the mildew out or will it just slow it down? And should you do 50-50 water - peroxide or just spray pure H2O2?
