Possible mold ? New soil

[LLanier]

Hey guys ,

Just opened a bag of bio char soil amd it looks like there is grey/white mold growing on it .

I dont want to use it because I don't wanna hurt this grow.

I have no idea if its harmful for the plant or what.

Hell it could be just fine but my lack of knowledge leaves me in doubt .

Let me know guys, tia

No im a closet . Im assuming this particular bag was wetter then the other 2 .

2 of 3 bags were fine, so my guess is, to wet amd too warm

yea, wet soil should be laid out on a tarp in the sun, or in a tote or something to dry.

Wish I would have known about that bag or I would have for sure.

Oh well, lesson learned.

It happens. I had 2 bags in the basement for a week, and they molded.

That’s pin mold as above let it dry out a little will be fine

Well, thank God its salvageable, kis bio char is kinda pricey. Had to mix Malibu compost and more ewc to make up for 6 gallons that the moldy bag was suppose to be used for... oh well. I'll save it and mix it into my coco coir in about 4 weeks for my photos.

Thanks for the good news . Was kinda stressing out there at first .

It won’t matter. That’s not the type of mold you need to worry about.
