Hello, does anyone know what this white stuff is at the stem base please? I’m growing in an Aerogarden 6 weeks in, 6 ph, no other issues just noticed this white stuff, grateful for any direction!
looks to me like your cotyledons died off and fell into the water and now there's a fungus eating it. Id just clean it out and keep an eye on it. If your really worried about it use H202 like
crimsonecho suggested.
mold. Mold in soil basically.
There is a few things you can do to combat this. But it is mold. Look up different types of mold and you'll quickly come across yours.
You can use stuff like
Trichoderma
Gliocladium
Copper
And a few different things to prevent mold from happening as there's not much you can do in the way of ven in your substrate so you will need to look for something like a beneficial bacteria that fights mold in soil like Gliocladium and use the others as pre applies to prevent it.
Hope you fix it soon. But brush up on dif things you can do a pick a method that you can put together as quick as you can.
Good luck bro.
