Felt Pots White Mold On Outside Organic

[1ofaKind]

Hello,

I have a very happy, healthy garden!

But today, I looked down and saw a lot of white on the outside of the 7 gal smart felt pots.

I just started using OregonismXL tea from Roots.

Mostly organic ferts, inoculated soil, budswell.

But the HV fan is on at all times, as are a couple smaller fans. Guess I need more fans...

Do I need to address this issue? Will this transfer to the plant? bud?

I am still looking for some seasoned insight.

From what I have researched, this was caused by the Oregonism IXL, it is the bacteria in it trying to get O2, and its fine, will not spread to the plant, don't bother wiping with vinegar, ect...

Any thoughts or confirmations?

Not familiar with the product but that sounds reasonable that it's the soil biota and not mildew. Quick check online and it seems to be the Oregonism causing it consistently.

We have had that white stuff on our fabic pots in the past and have not been bothered by it. As we feed as organic as we can just figured it was salts or something leaching from the soil.. Happy Growing .

I also assumed it was salts from the nutrients when this happened to my smart pots. It was not a problem.

Thanks, guys. Guess I'll let it ride.

From my research is was ectofungi? mycorrhizae in the Oregonism, which some people online claim does not belong in cannabis tea.... but its made by Roots, one of the most respected names??? They claim ecto does not grow on cannabis roots, so it drows on the pot...

But if you guys had the white on your pots and were not adding fungi, I'll take your work that its salts.

Sure looks like some kind of organism, though.

Incidentally, are you watching soil runoff PH?

I had lots of trouble nearly killing my girls with PH issues

Here's one of mine

From that incident I determined that soil is not for me. .

I never bother testing the runoff. I treat the tea and waterings to be at 6.5, so I never worry about it.

I was freaked out at first, too, but I feel okay with it now that other people are saying its normal.

I guess with the tea I was suppose to make a small 1 liter vessel, and then add a teaspoon of that to the 5 gal bucket, not a direct tsp into the bucket? The directions are not clear.

I heard on the news today the battle over hydro counting as organic. Not about cannabis, but plants in general. Interesting debate.
