Prone to mold

Cannabis strains that are prone to mold are more susceptible to developing mold infestations, which can be detrimental to the health and productivity of the plants. Mold, such as gray mold (botrytis) or black mold (aspergillus), thrives in damp and humid conditions. Strains with genetic traits that make them more vulnerable to mold may have weaker natural defenses against this fungal threat. Mold infestations can quickly spread and cause damage to the cannabis plant, leading to reduced yields and potential health risks for consumers if the mold contaminates the final product. To prevent mold, growers must maintain proper air circulation, control humidity levels, and ensure the growing environment is clean and well-ventilated. Regular inspection and early intervention are essential in minimizing the risk of mold and protecting the cannabis crop from this harmful pathogen. Choosing mold-resistant strains and implementing preventive measures are crucial to safeguarding the health and quality of cannabis plants and achieving successful cultivation results.
