If foliage becomes too dense mold and fungus can spread on the plant while it is still growing. After harvesting and trimming, buds must be kept in a good environment to prevent mold growth.
Root rot
If roots are exposed to too high humidity they can begin to rot and become damaged. This can ultimately kill a plant.
Powdery mildew
Grey Mold (Bud rot)
Nutrient problems
Nitrogen toxicity
Too much nitrogen will result in deep green leaves. The apex of the fan leaves can also "claw" downwards.
