Mold happens, and is more likely to happen in places of high humidity. Most likely he doesn't have a fan in his grow area, and he doesn't have his humidity under control. Sugar/Yeast mixes are mildly beneficial to plants, and I recommend using them in your grow space.

Generally speaking, higher humidity is sought after in vegetation phases. And it is a struggle to keep low during the flowering phase.

I'm not a " smart experienced grower " ... But the DIY Co2 Genarator will not have caused mould .... To much humidity in the room ... or a room that allready had mould and was not cleaned befor use will more likely be the cause .

And just want to point out ... you don't need to be a " smart experienced grower " to know about mould mate :)

That amount of sugar wouldnt do shit first off and the mold had nothing to do co2 or the mixture.

co2 works great as plants need it this would not cause mold i use a 3 litre coke bottle and use a cup of sugar and three spoons of yeast believe me it helps the plants u can see the yeast working smells like a brewery but u will certainly notice the difference good luck hope all works out for u ws
