Mold can be a major nuisance when growing any crop, particularly marijuana. Mold can not only ruin the quality of your final product but it can also put the health of the plants in danger. Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to prevent mold on your Hindu Kush feminized plants.
The most important factor in preventing mold is keeping your environment as clean, dry and well-ventilated as possible. Keeping the air circulating around your plants, using fans, and optimizing air circulation will help prevent mold. You can also use de-humidifiers to reduce humidity and fan available with a carbon filter to reduce the presence of fungal spores. You should also ensure that your growing space is always clean and free from debris.
Next, it’s important to monitor your relative humidity levels. Mold thrives in a more humid environment, so keep humidity levels low. An ideal range is generally between 40%-60% humidity. As your plants begin to flower, the ideal range is closer to 40%. Maintaining good air circulation as well as proper watering techniques can help keep your humidity levels in check.
Temperature is also an important factor when it comes to avoiding mold. Hindu Kush plants prefer warm temperatures, between 68-86 degrees Fahrenheit, but can tolerate temperatures as low as 55 degrees Fahrenheit. You should also make sure to avoid large temperature swings, as mold can thrive in drastic or sudden changes in temperature.
Finally, pay close attention to your plants and their nutrient needs. If you’re using hydroponics you should remember to flush your nutrient solution weekly to avoid buildup and increase the clarity of the solution. If you’re using soil, increase porosity by using small mesh like coco coir can also help.
By taking a few simple precautions and being aware of potential environmental factors, you can significantly reduce the chances of mold forming on your Hindu Kush feminized plants. It’s important to realize that mold is an issue that can be avoided with a few simple steps and preventative measures, so don’t let it become a problem for your next crop!
