Mold in one plant means mold in every plant?

Hi,

I have two plants in my grow box, one of them is autoflowering and I noticed that the autoflowering had mold. So I removed the autoflowering plant from the grow box and harvest it.

What I want to know is if my other plant that is in the grow box is likely to be infected by mold.

And if it is likely to have mold in the future what can I do to solve that?

yah... spores spread. get that shit under control fast.

Well, it's possible that you could have one plannt that was very sensitive to mold, and the other wasn't affected, but realistically, you probably have humidity problems and need to fix it or you will continue to have problems. Make sure there is good air flow and your not spraying the plants and you should be good.

I would think that the spores are there. In some fashion I think they are always there no matter what.

It's your job to make sure they don't have the ideal conditions to flourish and succeed and grow into a mold.

I'm not sure but I think the spores are always present and grow into a mold when you give them the right conditions. Those are the conditions you don't want and you probably have since you have a plant with mold on it. I would look for the root of the problem. Why does your plant have mold on it? BTW don't smoke moldy bud. It can give you bronchitis.

There is no product on the market that can be used to solve this problem?

Once a plant has had PM it apparantly will be in the DNA of any seeds or clones taken from the plant, making them more susceptible to PM

^clone ,yes but not seeds

Bud mold and PM are two different things. I don't think there's anything you can do about mold but PM can be dealt with, sort of.

What do you mean by grow box? Is that a tent brand? I can tell you I had mold on my first grow b/c I made the rookie mistake of spaying the cola during flowering b/c it got some plaster on it. Never spray flowers with water during flowering unless you want mold. Anyway there are some wierd products that claim to combat mold but the thing to do is harvest the moldy parts of the plant early and clean out your grow area with some soapy water and sponge. Then solve the problem of why you had mold in the first place. Figure out what went wrong.
Throw the moldly buds out and make sure you properly dry and cure any bud that was near the moldy buds neighboring it.

other way round
PM can be controlled but not removed

whats up wilis... this is it keep your humidity down low and hope for the best keep a watchful eye and remove anything that gets moldy from the room

now that you have entered the wonderful world of mold you should throw some $ at the problem. For $20 at lowes you can get a thermometer/hygrometer that you put in your area to make sure everything is good in there. Relative humidity goes down with higher temps and up with lower temps so you can adjust you ambient temp and combat, etc.
Keep things under 60% rh in your area during flower and you should be ok as long as you have a clean area, etc.
Oh, yeah. When you cure you should use a cigar hygrometer. Another $20 ebay. I like the Xikar. I guarantee I would have jarred my buds for cure too early if I didn't have it. I love it.

Unless your grow area is in a clean room the intel lab with a bunch of people with with body suits, etc. you are going to have mold spores in your grow area. The spores are in your house. They come in through the windows and are everywhere, they're in the air. If you walked through the park on a spring day you would be breathing in millions of spores. Once again, it's when you give the spores ideal growing conditions for mold that you are fucked. Low humidity, lots of air flow, proper temp adjustments, etc. I believe the mold that attacks cannabis likes cooler temps. The type of temps one would see during fall in nature. Keeping the temp around 75 f with an rh of 45% worked great for me.

sufer burners are supposed to combat pm and bugs if i rember corectly they even keep the mold spores from liveing anylonger ive never used one but thats what i have herd

You are correct. Spores are pretty much every where and on everything they germinate with the right conditions i.e. light source, humidity, and have a viable food source. I know from growing cubensis that they are literally on everything. This is because they produce so many of them when they reach their reproductive phase. For example the mushroom is not the organism it is the reproductive organs of mycelium.

That is what Pipe Dream said. Read it again carefully.

For mold it is very tough to control. Just hope that the other plant isnt effected.

What? he said with mold there is nothing you can do and PM is treatable. Mold is treatable and PM can only be controlled or prevented there is no treatment to fully remove it from a plant
Maybe you should take your own advice

Milk and water for PM which is a fungal disease.
Moulds (Botrytis, Trichoderma, Fusarium, various Pythiums or whichever) are also fungal diseases. Yours is probably grey mould (botrytis)
All diseases can be controlled or removed given the right environment. If the host survives that environment is a different matter. Not all are treatable by chemicals.
I certainly wouldn't give up on a plant because of PM.

once ur bud molds cut it off the moldy part but if its all over the plant just kill it bro. u can prevent mold by keeping ur hummiditty 50 or less bro. and mold spores do spread but they dont infect the other plants like pm

Lol, wow! Mold is not treatable when it is already there in the plant. Tell me how you can treat a molded plant? Usually mold is inside the plant matter that you can't really spray anything in there. sulfur burner is the only thing able to do that but not by much. There are treatments to fully remove PM I have done it before and haven't seen PM on them ever since and that was last year. If the plant already has PM then you can control it and then do some treatments to kill all the spores in my mother plants before making clones and doing some precaution and your good to go.
