this is a cry for immeadiate help from all of the experienced growers, knowledgable growers, or any grower that made this mistake...please help me... I left for a weekend and asked my friend to water my ladies... I figured he didnt kno what he was doing, so i made the mix for him ( a gallon of bottled water, drop of superthrive, 1 oz of botanicare pure blend bloom pro soil, tablespoon of molassas)...i made six juggs of this blend and he used four.. He called and told me he watered the plants and after he watered them he noticed a little mold in the water... I told him to use a tablespoon of the botanicare clearex solution in a gallon of water and flush them right away.... He did... Honestly, i feel this is my fault for leaving my girls and not knowing that mold could grow in water with molassas... My plants have been flowering for 21 days and are supposed to be done flowering in 60-70 days..i have just read 10 diffrent articles and essays on moldy water, root rot and parasites.... They have only been watered with the molded water once; however, i am aware the mold grows in dark damp places :'(. My plants were very healthy and very motivated until this point
my temp stayed around 78 and my humidity around 50%... Im so pissed, sad and disapointed right now.... I tried to give all the information because i need to know; has this ever happened to anybody, how worried should i be about the spread of this mold after only one watering, what can i do to prevent any possible defects before they happen... Thank you all for your time and input, and i hope nobody will lose sleep over this like i am going to
.. Please respond, so i can eat again my friends!!!!! Thank you

Relax, are your plants showing any signs of stress?
Mold is everywhere and already in your soil to begin with. I wouldn't sweat it, but you could add some h2o2 to your water.
