After covering it up for a couple of week it hasn't got any better. I'm a bit nervous about using the flower, not sure if I should just chuck it or not 😕

Im pretty sure its only same algae shit that grows on top of your soil when you`ve been feeding a while and light has got to tops of your wet pots or same stuff that grows all over your rockwool cubes if your growing in them with summink like nft or using rockwool blocks for cuttings. Basically only detrimental thing to that algae is that it prolly feeds of a bit of ferts so im presuming this is same stuff. I really wouldn`t sweat on it cus its not mould or rot. Id say its just feeding on your ferts multiplying and it looks a lot more scary than it actually is mate.
