is this black mold growing on my tent?

So I did a grow last year and I haven't bothered to take down my tent and it's been sitting there for the last 6 months and today when I was doing a bit of cleaning in and around the tent I noticed this black patch on one of the ducting ports at the bottom of the tent. Is it black mold or is it something else? And how would I go about removing it? Untitled.jpg

It's probably just a runoff stain. They wipe right off the tent walls and floor
I tried to wipe it off but it won't come off. I am worried that it is black mold so I am just going to buy another 4x4 gorilla grow tent. There's a hole in the tent floor where I damaged it by mistake as well so I am definitely going to buy another one because I am growing in coco which is hydroponic and I have a run off system and I don't want to risk getting a bad leak with a rip in the tent floor

Good call

I'm suprised more people don't use tent trays, I'm too careless with watering to depend on a cloth liner and a drip saucer.
Much easier to clean up with a wet vac after a dose of nutes.
No mold, just some calcium buildup to remove after a run.

Yes. This!!! Do NOT rely on your tent to contain a flooding incident. While that little floor liner thing will definitely slow it down, it's not going to necessarily hold water like an actual tray will.
