However, fungal infections are not a problem exclusive to this time of year: they can also appear at any point during cultivation, even in a perfectly equipped indoor grow tent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Excess humidity, insufficient ventilation, overly frequent watering, waterlogged substrate, or poor hygiene can create the ideal conditions for different fungi to attack our plants. Some mainly affect the roots and seedlings, while others can develop on the leaves or, at the worst possible moment, inside the buds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem is that <strong>not all fungi are detected with the naked eye in their early stages<\/strong>. By the time visible symptoms appear, the infection may already be quite advanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, the best strategy is always to combine <strong>prevention, frequent inspection, and rapid action<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide, we will look at which fungi are most common in cannabis cultivation, at what stage they usually appear, how to recognize their symptoms, and what to do

Their spores can reach the crop through the air, water, substrate, tools, or even through contact with clothing, footwear, and other objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just because a spore reaches a plant does not necessarily mean it will develop.
