What should I do? Looks like mold

Welcome to the forum. What brand soil are you using? If the mold is real bad replace the soil. If the mold isn’t bad, scrape it out, sprinkle a light dusting of cinnamon on the soil as a natural fungicide. As a last resort you could also make a spray by dissolving one teaspoon of baking soda into one quart of water with a drop of liquid detergent like Ivory or Dawn. To prevent it in the future, avoid overwatering, and improve air circulation.

Spritz it with a little hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle. Dead. But I am not so sure that isn’t just beneficial fungi. Which everyone actually adds lol. Mold is also a fungi.

That would be it. Straight don’t dilute. Just mist it.

Is that the only place it is evident? From the size of the perlite surrounding it it looks really small. Looks like one drop of peroxide will do it.

That’s what it looks like to me. Mold usually looks like a dusting, not just one little tiny concentrated spot. I have a big old colony that looks like insect eggs growing on top of one of my clones soil. Lights are out so I can’t get a picture right now, but I don’t think you have to worry about it being mold. If you’re worried about it, I would remove that little spot and just spray around it like Marty suggested.

I’ll see what this cinnamon do and I ended diluting the peroxide but I’m going to wait until they dry out and see what happens … only one plant has it… started at the same time and the one that grew the fastest has the little mold …. I just rooted a clone from the little one without mold so I’m going to focus on that for a little

Well there you go, proof of the puddin so to speak. The plant doing the best is in that pot with the white beneficial fungi that you are keen on killing. Leave it alone.

The roots benefit from the mold. Cover it in soil. Leave it be. It’s good.

Mycorrhizae are symbiotic relationships between a fungus and the roots of a plant, forming a mutually beneficial partnership. The term “mycorrhiza” literally means “fungus-root”. These relationships are crucial for plant nutrition, helping plants absorb water and nutrients from the soil more efficiently.

They look great, your doing fine. With your ceiling height, it looks like it is time to flower them or your going to have to bend them over double to keep them out of the lights.
