    I was so careful choosing my recipe from all the great advice I've gotten here on GC, I mixed up my totally organic growth media. Basically 2 parts peat, 2 parts perlite, 1 part EWC, 1 part compost plus some amendments. Then two days into letting it cook, I've got mold on top of my soil. Aside from lowering the humidity, what do I do? I feel like an organic idiot!

    QUOTING marvajuana; "If it was white hairy looking stuff its not mold but fungal mycelia. good stuff no worries.".
     
    I'd also suggest using the search bar. IT's a great tool.

    but if it is the beneficial fungi, mycorrhizal, you got, the white fuzzy stuff all over the soil...YOU WANT THAT.

    Mycelium is a  good sign your soil has thriving fungi in it, regardless.
     
    White strands = good, green = bad

    Let it do its thing.

    Many would cringe at the molds and fungus and creepy crawlies growing all in between my mulch and topsoil with flowering plants right above ;)

    Wow, that's a load off my mind! Thanks all for the quick responses. You're right, Kshow. I need to use the Search function more, but I freaked out.

    You probably would have gotten even MORE freaked out trying to use the search function!
     
    I know it pisses me off to no end...  :mad:
