moldy soil

[frankcos]

My buddy just called me he has a plant in week 3 of flowering and has discovered mold on his soil, what should he do?

 

[GeezerBudd]

Sounds like he needs better ventilation-and some new/better soil.

Tell him to stop over watering his plant. Let the soil dry out real good. remove the top layer of soil and replace with fresh. Like Geezer said reexamine you ventilation or maybe a circulating fan

The Madman said it just how I would.

Neem oil spray works great, the bonide rose rx is cheap and a great neem oil product...

You can also till(spelling?) the soil and the mold will die.
