I recently germed 5 Sour D seeds, maybe a week and a half ago so I've been watering them daily for that time span. Still no sprouts but this morning I woke up and noticed there were orange ball like things on top of the soil. I have provided pics. My questions are what are those balls, are they bad and if so how do I get rid of them to save my crop? Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk
You shouldn't have watered them daily, they need a minimal amount of water in the seedling stage. It's probably mold
Too close for seedlings..I would start at between 24-30" to start..Then gradually lower it as they grow.. Depending on manufacturer.. I have a few Meizhi 450's and the manufacturer sent this..Hope it helps you..

Never saw orange mold myself..Maybe over watered?? Get a teaspoon and gently scoop it up and dump it..Then place some fresh DRY soil where you took away the mold..Just a thought..
When I water I normally use a spray bottle on the mist setting that sufficient? Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk
Depends on how much you spray..I used to use a spray bottle on seedlings, but switched to an eye dropper.. Eye droppers put the water only where you want it and easy to measure out the right amount..A disposable syringe is a good way too!
i use solo cups with fox farms and use plastic bags ontop before they sprout because one time a bird ate my seed when it was about to sprout but i just mist the bag and seed and it sprouts in a few days sorta same until the plant gets about 2 weeks old. make sure to germinate first i put the seeds in water then let them drop and make tails until i put them in wet paper towels in a bag for another 2-3 days misting them once a day and they make huge tails which speeds up the time it takes the seed to pop.
Mix 1 pint of water with 4 to 5 tablespoons of household hydrogen peroxide (3 to 9 percent strength) in a spray bottle. Shake to mix thoroughly, and spray it on the affected plants daily. Once the fugus disappears, you may continue to spray the plant daily to avoid its return. Also over watering causes the fungus, make sure you have sufficient wet/dry periods.
