Need some real help! Fungus? Bad?

[Freakzilla]

I have a journal but not many followers so i am starting this thread for some help. I'm using happy frog soil and shorty after planting my seedlings into pots it started to show up. Now its quite a lot of it and on the pots too. Its not salt, I had only given it a nutrient watering once before i saw the first signs of it. I'd love some advise on how to deal with it.

And now some pictures.

got a better look, looks like a fungal growth.... will help the plant.. top dress the pots with something, it will help with pests and from top drying out..

Thanks for the responce. It is just some much and on the outside of pot too. The happy frog sites talks about fungal growth and describes several colors to expect but none are white.

What's everyone's favorite top dressing?

Every thing i seem to find on line talks about top dressing as a replacement for nutes. Thats not what i want.

Don't worry about it. It's just mold doing it's thing on rich substrate. It won't hurt the plant (yet) or the soil. (And its presence shows you how much organic matter is in your soil, though).

It should go away when you lower the humidity, but in any case, it wont' hurt anything now. You might want to wipe down your grow area with a sponge with some kind of disinfectant (even soap works) before flowering.

Moldy flowers are the growers bane. When your buds start to get dense, be sure to keep the humidity low (~40%) and air circulating.

This can't be stressed enough. I've read to many stories of this happening to some really good grows, including one of my own when we came back from a 5 day vacation only to find that the fan failed and all the main colas were full of mold. A very disappointing feeling (now he curses for all he can).
Good point for newbies and pros. + reps Sci.

My biggest bud that I was so proud of had to be tossed because it was full of mold. What's funny is that the humidity was low. I think it was just so big and so dense that when the plant transpired the moisture got trapped. Better airflow probably would have helped though, I'll bet. (Yes, it's very disappointing!)

Thanks again I've seen some of those stories myself, I would be devastated if my first grow ended that way.
