Is This Mold?

I check my plants twice daily, and this morning, I saw a lot of this grey and white stuff all over my bud on this one plant. I immediately chopped it, took it away from the grow area, and took these pics. Please help, I'm just sick over this, and don't know what it is, or what to do. My temps are 80 in the day, and 70 in the night. Humidity has been steady in the upper 20s to lower 30s.

Make extracts out of it, sorry but there is no way your rh is that low and you have that much pm. That's 60+ rh right there at lights out. Are you running all the same strain?

Or just not enough air movement. More fans needed in this case.

I run several strains. There's no way it's airflow, the leaves are never still, and I'm pulling about 1,500 cfm through the grow. I'll stick the hygrometer in a ziploc with a boveda pack and see if it's working. I was filling up a water bottle just outside the grow area the other day, forgot the thing, and came back to a small flood. I'd bet that's what did it.

That PM is just going to spread if you dont hit it with something. Personally i would hit it with milk Since your in flower, it has a natural anti fungal in it or you can use H2o2 ( hydrogen peroxide ) . Milk 10% to 30% mixed with RO or distilled water. H202 25% mixed with Ro or distilled water. I used the milk water mix to hit the whole plant Top of the leaves and then spray from the bottom also get all the stems and branches. Then I use the H2o2 to hit spots as they come up. These methods wont get rid of it but it will help you control it. Pm will pop back up usually within 5 to 10 days. UV lights will also kill mold But they also can't be too strong or it will kill the plant also. Keeping your temps in the 80s will also help. Mold doesnt like to grow in those temps with RH below 55%.

There is a Youtube Video that shows how you can save the bud for smoking by using a H2o2 bath, [video=youtube_share;S7jE7qzfgQs]http://youtu.be/S7jE7qzfgQs[/video] I would add a second bath to that process Just to be sure but mold tends to fuck with me more then others. So after the first bath rinse really good and then hit it one more time in the clean second bath.

What happened to post count, and how do I change the coloring options? I saw a link in another thread that used the same black text as everything else. If someone had not said "great link", I wouldn't have known to go back and look for it.
