evening all I have a plant that has been revegging for about six weeks, it has a main stem and three slimmer branches that hold a load of leaves. One of these branches just died off all of a sudden and on closer inspection I noticed this grey fur around said branch and on the main stem. I have cut the branch off along with as much of the main stem as I could but I fear this stuff will spread and kill the plant. Are there any sprays etc that I can use to kill it off?
grey fluffy mould on stem please help!

ridomil as a foliar application, its systemic and should stay within the plant long enough to guard against it from happening again.
also correct any humidity/ventilation/cleanliness issues that may have led to it

you could try vinegar and water spray (50/50) before trying fungisides etc ...

liquid copper works too. like Rube said... take care of your humidity/cleanliness... if it's a revegged plant, you probably had a bunch of bud material left on the plant turn all necro and gross after the reveg. it's always a good idea to clean away the necrotic parts before issues arise.
here's what I found on the subject

Could be PM or even Botrytis mold, an old plant like that can pick up loads of things along the way...I have seen PM on the branches of plants before attacking leaves...
I had a similar problem when I first started growing. I used baking soda and water. It never came back. 1

ratios please!
I have added sodium bicarbonate to plants, and... burned the fucking shit out of them!
i know from exp. 1T to a gallon of water is too HOT...
so please... help us out by telling us your proper ratios
thanks.
thanks so much for your help all, +rep to all of you, I dont have a camera at the mo but am pretty sure its actually botrytis
Its been a while but I would guess 1/2 tsp to a cup of water. Take a wet towel dab it in cup then dab/wipe away the fungus. Don't pour the mixture over the medium. In no way did I feed them arm and hammer, lol. Wipe stem clean. When I had a similar problem it (fungus) ate at the stem. This method worked for me. Don't over water and watch close. 1
after you treat and its gone, increase airflow.
don't do it now tho.
when your buds start putting on weight, look for random dead leaves (not gradual yellowing). When you see a dead leaf, pry the bud open and inspect for mold. You know botrytis is in the system, so if your harvest is likely to happen in humid conditions, prune for smaller buds. go for big colas when its dry out.
Bud leaves that die naturally need to be removed by hand, and that will reduce loss to bud rot.
