Hydroton on top of your plugs could help too.
It probably isn't mold but more likely fungus.
I think the fungicidal soap sprays probably the easiest way to deal with it.
Ventilation, ventilation will also help to dry out the top layers of your plugs
Lets see how that goes. |
Hello, On This Run I Had Gold Algae Then Root Rot Real Bad! On Another Site A Member "Haps". Told Me This, "I have been doing a simple root rinse at each transplant for three years, and it has eliminated most of my rrot issues. The secret? Tap water, with the chlorine still in it. I take the plant, and a bucket of water, dip the root up to the net pot three times, then I gently massage the root under water with my clean hands, till any brown is gone, and to remove any piecs of root or leaf. That is it, simple, cheap and tested effective."
It Worked For Me Better & Quicker Than Anything Else. Remember When Playing With Roots Be Very Gentle! Just Do It Once. Thank You Longhair1
