I had a $5 humidifier (wick style) running to keep humidity up to 50% but it broke.. broke in the on position.. and just emptied its contents at full blast over the last two days or so and now over half my f**kn plants are dying of MOLD or Fungus..

I mean I saw the problem.. but it was so freaky to diagnose.. there were spots.. but plants looked healthy.. thought it might be nutes but there were two of them outside of the hydroponic system that had the same symptoms.. and two new seedlings.. all the same.. but a bell pepper plant that I use as a tester for new hydroponic mixes showed no ill signs.. I was scouring the FAQ's for possible issues and looking at 100's of pics of plants.

I have root misters under the roots that I noticed were making an unusually abundant amount of mist (this later proved the rediculously high humidity).. There was a hygrometer readout on the machine which is what I used to determine humidity but that reading was the whole problem.. there is no telling how long it has been off or by how far.. the thing was drinking a gallon a day..

I shut off the humidifier (and the root misters too for extra effect) and increased ventillation a couple hours ago.. this should dry out the plants and hopefully they will survive.

Anything else I should do? Should I cut off the affected leafs or wait for them to die?? It would mean cutting about 1/3 of the leafs off some of the plants.. they are almost 3 weeks old.
