    Default Mould takeover

    Hi guys

    I've got about a week or 2 before chop time and was wondering about mould in this delicate time of the grow.
    We had rain and 90% humidity outside today and unfortunately my tent copped about 65% rh for around 6 hours.
    Is this enough time to bring on the dreaded mould?

    What can I do now to nip it in the bud ? excuse the pun

    Airflow and good extraction is Key if your RH goes up. My plants endure a hurrycane in my tent in late flower and the exhaust is on 8/10 24-7. But it keeps the mold and rot away when I hover around 60-70rh. And it can be there for weeks.

    I've never had rot outside, knock on wood. Here in Florida, and it rains all the time, and RH is always High most of the time.

    I mean given the short exposure time with high rh

    I was wondering should I be checking for mould?
    I mean I can check the front of the tent as easy access but can't check 70 % of the stock.
    Is there a way to do this?

    They look like random hairs/clothes fibres to me.
