Well its 4.30am just got home from work and went to check
the temp inside the Greenhouse. it was around the 26 temp
mark when i left for work and then it got cooler and rained
the checked the plants before work and they looked great
got home tonight and noticed that on the soil around the bottom of the plants was all moldy there was NO mold on the plants just the soil

tuesday i applied some neptunes Harvest Fish Sea weed
did a deep soaking on each plant. and it seems to be moldy around the damp area were this was poured

is this something to worry about ?

thanks

The mold is probably either living on the Sea Kelp Extract or some conbination of it & the other amendments you add to your soil. It *PROBABLY* is more beneficial than not. But it could be indicationg a too warm & humid condition that might favor pathogenic fungi on the plant.

So I wouldn't worry about the mold. Only the condition that fostered it. Can you provide better ventilation?
