Looking for some help with one of my ladies. Please Please Please! Can someone help me determine if my plant is subject to mold or moisture issues? I am having trouble finding visual signs of any mildew or bud rot, but there is an odor (almost reminds me of mildew, or a wet basement smell maybe). Planted in ffof, sprouted on 1/16 (58 Days), flower started roughly 20 days ago. I have attached some pictures, hopefully they help. What other areas can I check on this plant to confirm before I toss it? I don’t want it to spread to my other plant so I currently have it sitting in my garage until confirmed it has a mold/moisture issue. Hate to toss it, but also hate to possibly effect my other very slow Sour Diesel Auto Any help is super appreciated! ![SAM_0296](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/a/2/7/a276786a8b97b762896b093261ff971ef21ce4ca.jpeg) ![SAM_0298](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/a/3/1/a31129ea6e61179675a2e2a9e12988b131b01e12.jpeg) ![SAM_0301](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/1/f/7/1f7d5ed2384e1e856933ac8b3866036271100292.jpeg) ![SAM_0306](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/c/5/c/c5c1387974ad6be81995a8567deef5fe240f7350.jpeg) ---

She is very thick. Might could use some cleanup for airflow. As you clean her up any yucky rotting leaves in there come out. ---

I dont see anything. Check your area around it. Or is it just a terpin smell your not use to. Or something in the soil or nutes. Manure smells odd when in soil. Not a poop smell but more a mildew smell. Let soil dry out really good and see if it goes away or lessens. ---

Working on cleaning up some of the excess leaves to improve airflow. Hopefully that will help. Thanks ---

Ok thanks, I will keep that in mind and give that a shot. This plant just starting getting some terps the last few days. Hopefully the smell will pass by tomorrow. Or I get used to it? Just don’t want to overlook an issue and possibly spread it to my other plants. But I have looked high and low and can’t find anything anywhere. Only the white spots on the steams as seen in the pictures ---

White spots on stems can be normal can be big larvae but if u see no bugs I’d not worry. Wpm u’ll know as u’ll see white patches forming on the leaves it’ll look like a white dull spot and get whiter by the day. The plant leaves do appear to be super shiny may be a slight bit too much nitrogen. Me myself I’d do a water only with cal mag once or twice to get the n level down some. Bud rot u’ll know as it’ll look like a web being built in the bud or the bud starts to get a brownish look to it as it does off. ---
