What's wrong with my plant? (with pics)

Here is some useful advice I will quote here that I found in regard to preventing the growths to begin with:
"Prevention is the main ingredient in fungus control, in your indoor garden. First, you should remove anything that might promote or harbor fungus and mold, such as clothing and curtains. If your indoor garden has carpet make sure it's covered in plastic or remove the carpet completely. Then check the humidity of your growroom, with a hygrometer, to make sure it isn't too high.
A good growroom is kept at about 50% humidity, and between 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit. If your growrooms humidity and temperature are too high, installing a squirrel cage fan, attached to a hygrometer/thermometer(easily purchased at a garden center or retail nursery), to ventilate the room will usually clear up your problem. If your temperature and humidity are low you can buy a heater and attach it to the thermometer and for low humidity attach a humidifier to the hygrometer. With proper maintenance and preventative measures you should have no more problems with unwanted fungus or mold growth in your indoor garden again."
This is pretty good advice if your rooms humidity and ventilation can not be controlled any other way. When you start your new grow be sure to lay off all nutes until they are at least 2 weeks old. If you reeeeallly want to nute the youngsters it should be an extremely weak solution IMHO. In the past, I have used 10%-20% of the recommended dosage effectively on 1 week old plants. As a rule of thumb now I don't touch them with nutes until 14 - 21 days after germination.
As you grow more and watch your plants daily they will tell you what they need or do not need. I know that sounds crazy but it is really true! :greenthumb: Remember you are building knowledge with every grow you attempt. Never give up due to a bad grow or two, because you will get there and once you are there you will be so proud of yourself and will have gained some worthy knowledge that can only be taught through trial and error. (or working in a Coffee House in Amsterdam! lol)
