Ive got a feeling this isnt good...

yea i had soaked the tron for about 3 days before puting in the plants

im in a "new england" type climate as well tiny toon

the plants are in my room, in a makeshift closet made out of black garbage bags and tin foil but i plan on building a small closet once the plants really start to grow

could the mold be from water splashing up from the tron? because ive noticed the first sets of leaves on one plant have been covered in water so ive brushed it off

maybe turning down my air pump? but im thinking thats doubtful...again, the mold is only on a few leaves, the rest of the plant looks immaculate :rastabanna: haha i love that word

If you can turn the pump down a lil that wont hurt. How often do the drip rings run or are they 24/7?? Just looks awfull "wet", even the leaves have this like "I want to dry out a lil" look on them. I can understand the DIY tent, do you have air circulation in there like an ossilating fan?? Be carefull with the tin foil as wrinkles can create hot spots and burn the plants.

Maybe some more Venting?

From what i read, it sounds like the grow area is acting like a big humidity dome..

-Heat, water, and a garbage bag would deff hold excess moisture = mold.

Thats pretty much where I was going SMP :thumbsup:

right on tinytoon, well its good to here your thougths. Your advise to me in past as been great and well appriciated thank you. I started a log but cant seem to figure out how to download photo, I just got some downloaded to my computor but cant figure out how to download to log if you can help greatly appriciated and keep on trucking.:stoned:

I am using the Ebb and Flow system and have a bad algae prob. I didn't want to risk chemicals to my babies. So I thought of a solution that SO FAR is working. I went to walmart and bought three algae eating fish and put into my water holding talk. The fish eat the algae and poo in the tank. the poo water is pumped to the babies along with my hydro ferts. it's seems to be a symbiotic relationship.

Like stated before, its too wet. How are your roots looking? If they are touching the water then you can cut back on your dripper and that will help. Hope everything turns out ok!



Hey Gatekeeper... you should check out Aquaponicherbs grows.

He uses fish and all sorts of things that might be right up your alley!

Keep in mind that the fish might be helping to lesson your problem with algae but it doesn't solve the problem. It is most likely something fairly simple to figure out, if you could throw up a pic or 2 that would help.
