    Default Compost tea causing white mold

    Hello RIU,

    I am new to brewing compost tea and have been concocting my own formula this season. I added KELP JUICE, X-TREME TEA BREW, MYCO POWDER, BAT GUANO, COW MANURE, AND THERE FEEDER PACK.

    My question is I have white mold growing on my soil top which seems to not be hurting anything but Id like to find out is it mycelium or is it mold that will eventually attack my roots and or leaves?

    I posted this on the outdoor forum but I haven't had any luck finding out if anyone else has had this encounter !!
    Also I'm running FFOF x PROMIX HP x PERLITE = 50/50% and 25% if that helps any as well
    Any info would be very helpful


    THANK YOU !!!

    the white mold is a good thing. yes it will attack your buds if they are loaded with carbs and there is too much humidity for too long, but that would likely happen with or without the compost tea. the fungus helps break down insoluble nutrients it is good stuff.

    just stick to your normal watering cycles. Be more concerned with your temp and humidity

    moisture is necessary in the soil zone to keep the insoluble nutes breaking down. i use dead fan leaves as a mulch to try and conserve moisture. that said of course you have to be careful not to end up watering too often.
