How to avoid algae or mold on top of claypellets/s...
BigDaddyKanswered grow question 4 years ago
I put the root cubes directly on the bottom of net pot , cover with clay balls and viola , no mood or rot

Bro, very nice technique! Throw a fan up directed at your lower third from slightly above. That constant slow breeze will keep it dry but not too dry. No moisture, no mold :)

You don't. Covering them up so they don't get light is the best way, but you'll probably see a bit of green growth on the cubes. Rapid rooter cubes are better in my opinion and dry out but don't have the same mold problems.

Still cant figure out what's going on with this plant. EC was over 2 for a couple of days but has since been taken care of, last reading was .83.Is this a deficiency or some other kind of issue?
Some have suggested a p or k deficiency, but I feed Jack's 20-10-20 peat-lite so I would be very surprised if it was a P problem, and the problem seems to be all over the leaves, but a lot of them start from the base of the leaf.Leaves. Color - Black or grey

Mold on soil ?On day 36 I discovered some strange white stuff on top of the soil in only one pot. Looks like mold and the plant seems not to be infected. Two days ago I gave both of the BioTabs Bactrex and Molasses as scheduled. Does anyone had this issue before ?Week 6
