White mold on top layer of soil?

    I watered yesterday and today I got this white fluff all over the top level of soil…it didn't really attack the plant yet but its kind on the bottom of the main stem. Is there any way to save this plant or I should get rid of if asap?

    Thanks for any info.

    Get hydrogen peroxide 3%. Put in spray bottle and spray. Do not spray the plant. The spres were most likely in the soil. Microwave the soil if you have any left you might use for 10 minutes. Let the pot completely dry out even if it hurts the plant and the next time you water spray again.

    Consider a dehumidifier.

    Yikes. It might be undisolved nutrients, I had that issue before I got a filter for my tap water.

    But it does look like mold. The only I dont see is the blue tint, mold will have some blue hue to it.

    If its just on the top layer like that get a spoon and just scrape that crap out of there.

    sulphur, safer brand makes decent fungicides. just dont use any spray if your flowering. increase the light and temp and it should go away:smoke:

    I had some soil mold myself. I dug up the top layer, let it really dry out, then kept it as dry as possible for about a week. The mold is gone and never came back.
